When most people think of a couples session, they think of engagement or anniversary photos. However, you can and should book a couples photo session at any stage of your relationship. Whether you have had a photo shoot together in the past, or the best photo you have together is a selfie, it is always a good time to book a couples photo shoot. Not sure if a couples shoot is right for you? Keep reading to see why you should book one?

Okay, real talk—when was the last time you and your person had really good photos together? Not blurry selfies or the random vacation pic where one of you is half-blinking. We’re talking about dreamy, golden-hour photos that actually feel like you.

If you've been thinking about booking a couples photoshoot (or even if you haven’t yet!), here’s your sign. Whether you're celebrating a milestone or just want to do something fun together, here’s why every couple—yes, even you two—should totally book a shoot.

I swear to you…I will never get sick of photographing surprise proposals. They are filled with so much joy and emotion and I always feel honored to be a part of this special moment. I want to take a moment to blog about this recent Long Beach, NY engagement session.

When clients contact me about planning a surprise proposal, it is an honor that I do not take lightly. Although I love standard engagement portrait sessions, a surprise proposal session requires extra attention and planning. These are very special sessions and near and dear to my heart. I want each one of them to be pure magic and perfection for my clients. My goal is to give each client an individualized experience and I make sure my calendar is not overbooked so I can do so

If you are reading this article, odds are you just got engaged. Congratulations!!! Whether you knew about the proposal or it was completely a surprise, this is one of the most exciting moments in life for both of you and it is one that should be documented.

There is something especially meaningful about proposing at the beach. The sound of the waves, the warmth of sunset, and the feeling that time slows down just enough for one unforgettable question.

I’m excited to share this recent Neptune Beach proposal session featuring a truly sweet couple. They met at a local beachside bar, and my client knew he wanted to propose somewhere that felt personal to their story. He envisioned sunset on the sand but needed help choosing the exact location, timing, and flow of the evening — which I was happy to guide him through.

We are approaching Summer, which is not only my favorite season, but it is also my busiest time of year for engagement sessions. I truly love surprise proposal sessions. No matter how many couples I capture, each and every couple is very special to me. I know how important this milestone is and I am always honored to be a part of it.

When my client first contacted me, he wasn’t exactly sure where to ask his girlfriend to marry him. He had a few ideas in mind, but wasn’t really committed to a location. I have each and very client fill out a questionnaire when they book me. This questionnaire helps me to get to know the couple and also helps me to narrow down the best location for their engagement. My goal is to try and choose a scenic location that will not arouse any suspicion and is true to the couple’s personality and interests. I suggested a few locations, but this beach in the North Fork felt the most true to the couple and my client’s goals for the session.
