The process: Couples portraits
We’ll work together to create images that truly reflect your personality, connection, and essence—whether you prefer a formal, polished vibe or something more casual and fun. My goal is to make this experience relaxed, positive, and enjoyable from start to finish.
1) Questionnaire - Once you book, I’ll send a simple questionnaire to learn about you and your partner, your style preferences, and the type of location you envision for your photos.
2) Planning Together - Next, we’ll discuss your preferences in detail, confirm the location and meeting point, and I’ll provide helpful tips on what to wear and how to prepare for your session.
3) Your Session - On the day of your shoot, I’ll guide you through a relaxed photoshoot, blending posed shots with natural, candid moments. Whether we’re highlighting your individuality and capturing your unique connection as a couple, the session will feel effortless and fun.
4) Editing - I’ll enhance colors, lighting, and details to create polished, professional images. For sessions with custom retouching, I’ll also remove skin blemishes and unwanted background elements for a flawless finish.
5) Your Gallery - Within 2 weeks, you’ll receive a link to your beautifully edited photo gallery. From there, you can download your photos, share them, and order prints or other keepsakes to showcase your favorite memories.
