your engagement session provides so much more value than simply documenting a milestone.
your engagement photos are a time to celebrate! think of it as a special date between the two of you (+ me as a third wheel of course) where you get to tell stories and reminisce on how you met, design something that expresses who you are as a couple, and have FUN together in the midst of a busy life.

ALSO! your engagement photos will help massively when it comes to your anxiety about being in front of the camera. it’s a chance to get your wiggles out, get to know me, and get a little practice when it comes to some of the prompt and posing techniques that you’ll be given on your wedding day.
then you get forever memories of the entire process 🖤 it’s truly a win win.

CONGRATS to sarah & sam on their engagement. they were both just so joyful on this day, i can only imagine what their wedding day will be like💕

MY TOP TIP for family sessions with teenagers 👇🏻

Plan your session around an activity.

Most teens don’t want to spend an hour standing around posing (and honestly… I don’t blame them 😅). But they are much more likely to have fun if they’re doing something together as a family.

For this session, we went berry picking. 🍓 Big sis didn’t have to “perform” for the camera—she just picked berries, laughed with her siblings, and enjoyed the moment. (Miss Ami was an absolute champ, as always. 🤍)

The result? No battles. No tears (from the kids or the parents 😂). Just genuine connection, lots of laughter, and photos that actually feel like them.

Sometimes the best family photos happen when everyone forgets they’re taking family photos.

Think outside the box. 😉
