✨ Couples Session Questions + Answers

I know booking a couples session (or planning a proposal) can come with a lot of questions — so I’ve put together some of the most common ones I get to help guide you 🤍

How many photos will we receive?

Every session is a little different, but on average you can expect:

~40–80 images per session or more depending on the amount of time and locations. 

I focus on delivering a full, storytelling gallery — not just a number. You’ll get a mix of candid moments, connection, and those in-between shots that matter most.

When will we receive our photos?

You’ll receive:

Sneak peeks within 72 hours ✨
Full gallery within 3–4 weeks

I take time to carefully edit each image so your gallery feels cohesive, intentional, and true to my style.

Do you help with planning?

Yes — 100%.

Whether it’s a couples session or a surprise proposal, I help guide you through:

• Location ideas
• Timing (golden hour is everything)
• What to expect during your session

For proposals, I also help plan the entire setup so everything goes smoothly and stays a surprise.

What should we wear?

I’ve got you.

I’ll guide you on outfits that photograph beautifully and feel like you. Think:

• Neutrals + earthy tones
• Movement (flowy dresses, layers)
• Coordinated, not matching

I can even help you decide between options if you’re stuck.

What happens if we feel awkward? 😅

Totally normal — and honestly, most couples say this at first.

You don’t need to know what to do — that’s my job. I’ll guide you the entire time in a way that feels natural and relaxed so nothing feels forced.

The goal isn’t stiff poses — it’s real connection.

What if it rains?

Honestly… some of the best sessions happen in unexpected weather.

Clouds, fog, light rain — it all adds mood and depth. I’ll guide you through it so we still create something beautiful.

(And I can bring umbrellas.)

Do you travel?

Yes!! I photograph all over Southern Oregon, the Oregon Coast, and the Redwoods — and I’m always down for new adventures ✈️ LETS TRAVEL ANYWHERE! 

If you have a dream location in mind, let’s go.

Can we choose the location?

Yes — or I can help you find the perfect one.

I guide locations based on:

• Lighting
• Scenery
• Overall vibe

Whether you want redwoods, coastline, rivers, or something more intimate — I’ve got spots for you.

Can we request specific photos or ideas?

Absolutely!

Feel free to send inspiration — I love seeing what you’re drawn to.

That said, I focus on real, unscripted moments. I’ll take your vision and bring it to life in a way that feels natural and true to you.

Do you Photoshop/edit everything?

All final images are professionally edited in my signature style — focusing on:

Color
Lighting
Overall feel

I don’t heavily alter bodies or change how you look. I want your photos to feel real, timeless, and authentically you.

What happens during the session?

Honestly? You just hang out together 🤍

I’ll guide you through movement, prompts, and moments so it never feels awkward or overly posed. Think:

• Walking together
• Laughing
• Holding each other
• Just being you

What makes your photos different?

I focus on:

• Real moments over forced poses
• Light + emotion
• Storytelling

I’m not just capturing what it looked like — I’m capturing how it felt.

🤍 Final Thought

You don’t need to have it all figured out.

Whether you’re planning a proposal or just want to document this season of life, I’ll guide you through the entire process and create something that feels effortless, intentional, and completely you.
