What’s Included with Your Session?
+Unlimited Communication + Planning Assistance
I’ll send you my Couples Session Guide and a questionnaire for you two to fill out once you’re officially booked. The questionnaire helps me get to know you two better and make personalized recommendations for your session. The planning guide is full of tips for choosing a location, selecting outfits, and gives inspiration for session ideas.
+No Outfit or Location Limits
There is no limit to the outfits you can wear or the amount of locations you’d like to take photos at. I offer two separate portrait packages to accommodate both those that want a simple photoshoot and those that want to explore multiple locations.
+Online Proofing Gallery for Images
When your images are ready, I’ll deliver them to you via email with a link to your private, password protected gallery. You’ll be able to see all your images beautifully laid out. You can also share this gallery with friends + family.
+High-Resolution Digital Downloads of ALL images
You can download your high-resolution images directly from your gallery and then they’re yours to keep! I’ll also send recommendations for how you can properly backup your images so you can ensure they are preserved forever.

Your Couples Session Experience:
Fill out my contact form with as much info as you can. I’ll get back to you within 2 business days to answer any initial questions you may have and send over my Investment Guide. We can continue to communicate through email, text, or we can hop on a Google Meet call.
Step 1: Inquire
Once you’ve decided on a set date and type of booking, I’ll send over my contract. Once the contract is signed and the $150 non-refundable retainer is paid, your booking is confirmed and will officially be blocked off on my calendar!
Step 2: Booking + Retainer
I’ll have you fill out a questionnaire so I can get to know you two better and recommend locations/ideas for your session! Please feel free to communicate with me as often as needed up until your session. I can be as hands on as needed based off how much help you’d like bringing your vision to life.
Step 3: Planning
I believe sessions should be laid back and fun! I get it, dressing up and taking pics for 1-2 hours might sound pretty daunting. So I’ll help make it fun! The majority of your session will involve me giving you prompts (rather than stiff poses) that encourage you to keep moving, laughing and interacting, My goal is for your session to fee like a date night.
Step 4: Session Day!
Once your photos are finished, I’ll send you an email with a link to your online viewing gallery. You’ll be prompted to create a password to enter your gallery so that it can remain private. From here you can download all of your photos and share them friends and family if you’d like.
