OMG, you’re engaged 💍✨ This is such an exciting time, and your engagement photos should be just as beautiful as your romantic story. But let’s be real for a sec… posing in front of a camera for the first time can be nerve racking a little awkward. Don’t worry, I’ve got you! My goal is to make your engagement session feel fun, effortless, and 100% YOU so you can be fully present in the moment and get the dreamy, natural photos you’ll cherish forever!

Here are my best 7 tips to make your engagement session feel like a total blast!

1. Pick a Location That Reflects YOU

Forget boring, generic locations—your engagement session should feel like a romantic date. Whether its chasing the sunset at your favorite beach, visiting your go to coffee shop for a latte, or doing your favorite activity together—let’s pick a place that reflects who you are your lover are.The more personal, the better.

2. Get Moving!

Stiff poses? No thanks, we don't do that here. The key to natural photos is movement. Spin each other around, go for an unforgettable kiss, pull each other in tight and graze your hand along their arms, laugh hysterically at your goofiness. Movement keeps things light, playful, and candid. you’ll forget the camera is even there.

3. Look at Each Other, Not the Camera

The most dreamy moments happen when you focus on your fiancé instead of my lens. While there will be moments I'll have you look at me, the person you should be looking at most is your lover. Stare into each others eyes and admire them, notice all their beautiful features, show them lots of physical love. I promise this will guarantee genuine moments between the two of you.

4. Wear Something That Makes You Feel SOOO Confident

Confidence is EVERYTHING in photos. If you feel uncomfortable it will show in the photos. Let's fix that uncomfortability with an outfit that makes you feel like the best version of yourself. Soft neutrals, pastels, or flowy dresses always look gorgeous, but most importantly—wear something comfy that makes you feel amazing. If you love color add that pop, want to add bling or fun textures do so. Put on your favorite outfit and don’t forget the cute accessories and shoes you can actually walk in.

5. Add Some Fun Props or Activities

Sometimes, the best photos come from spontaneous moments—wind blowing your hair just right, a little unexpected drizzle that turns into a Notebook moment kiss, or a burst of uncontrollable laughter. Let’s go with the flow and make magic happen!
