All of my couple sessions start out with us hanging out, face to face, with a beverage of your choice, san camera.
Prior to your session we plan out a day that usually involves your ideal hangout spots (think your favorite cafe, a casual city stroll, exploring a new town, or your favorite sunset spot overlooking the ocean or the rolling hills), the outfits that make you feel like you and hopefully some delicious food in the mix.
Consider it a day date with your bestie and a third wheel that's along for laughing at how weird you two are who also has loads of experience getting humans who are not models comfortable in front of her camera.
