Couple Sessions
BEYOND POSED PORTRAITS, I IMMORTALIZE THE INTIMACY OF YOUR LOVE STORY.
Life with your partner is a symphony of shared laughter, quiet moments, and unforgettable experiences. I don't just capture snapshots; I seize the essence of your connection—the stolen glances, the tender embraces, the spontaneous adventures. My photographs narrate the tale of your bond, revealing not just how you gaze at each other but how you truly intertwine.
Wallowa Lake and Wallowa County offer the perfect canvas for couples' adventures! Picture yourselves strolling hand in hand along the lakeshore, with the serene water reflecting your love. Or imagine stealing kisses amidst meadows ablaze with wildflowers, framed by the majestic peaks of the "American Alps" in the distance. These are the moments I'll immortalize—the unfiltered expressions of your love story.
These images will become cherished mementos, a testament to the depth of your connection for generations to come.
Getting Started
(01)
I can't wait to book a session with you. Once you contact me, we book a date and start the process - with a questionnaire to help me get to know your family better! I can help as much or as little as you want with styling. When you book you will receive a family style guide as well as a link to an online styling service called "Style and Select). I will ask you to send me pictures of outfit/accessory choices and your color palette along the way to help me plan what looks best!
What happens next?
(02)
I will check in with you along the way and as we get closer to nail down the exact time and the flow of your session. We will discuss your outfit choices, locations and special props to determine our plan of action for the perfect session!
Session Day!
(03)
I always shoot within the couple hours before Sunset, and location choice will be a factor in the time that we start! I will have scouted out light and location and have a perfect plan in place to give us a great flow and take advantage of all of the beauty that Wallowa County provides!
What about posing?
(04)
Your one job is to show up and be yourself. My job is to pose you - which I will do verbally, but I will also get into the poses and show you myself. We will have a combination of posed shots, as well as a lot of movement and flow (for these I give you "prompts". Most of all I want you to have a lot of fun! I want this to be a great experience for your family where you can interact with each other, laugh and have a good time!
I have a giant zit on my face!!!
(05)
Scenario: It's session day and you woke up with a giant blemish on your nose! Never to fear! Once your final images are selected I will expertly retouch any blemishes or distractions to make your images perfect!
Next Steps
(06)
Once you have completed your session, I usually love to post sneak peeks within a couple days. Next (usually 3 weeks), I will curate a perfectly selected proof album of all of the best shots from the session. We will set up a meeting - in person or over zoom - for an ordering session where we will decide which package you would like to select, and which images you would like as your finals, as well as which prints and products you would like to order. After finals are selected, it will be a 2-3 week turnaround before you have your digitals and product.
We create our happiness by capturing the most important moments in our lives
