LET'S TELL A STORY


One way to make your photo session particularly special and memorable is to make your pictures tell a story. Three great ways to do this are through selecting a unique location, adding props or planning an activity (or all three)!

STORYTELLING THROUGH LOCATION



Do you have a special place you love to go on dates? .... Do you know someone with a magical backyard that you can commandeer for an afternoon? ... Is there a local landmark you've always wanted to visit but never had a reason to? ... Think outside the box and let's go somewhere unique. Please note: try to pick a location that has some natural light.







STORYTELLING THROUGH PROPS



I'm not talking about fake mustaches and feather boas. I'm talking about a flower crown (or bouquet!), a shiny vintage car on a roadside, sparklers, balloons, glitter and more.











STORYTELLING THROUGH ACTIVITY


Want to try something a little different? Turn your photo session into an activity! From baking cookies at home to hitting the gym together to getting messy making clay pots, there are so many activities that will make you smile, laugh, work together and bring out the unique personality of your dynamic relationship(s). It can be a simple activity like a champagne toast or a picnic or a more involved activity like setting up a tent at the beach and jumping into the water fully clothed. Staging an activity will bring out lots of candid moments and keeps our time together interesting and varied.

There are so many things we can do to make your photo session one of a kind. I'm up for just about anything (as long as it's legal), so if it sounds like fun to add a little something extra, let me know and we can chat through the logistics.



WANT TO THINK WAY OUTSIDE THE BOX??


Your photo session is an opportunity to think outside the box! I encourage you to brainstorm unique locations that you might have special access to that most people don't. For example, maybe you, or someone in your personal or professional network, can secure permission to a location that would otherwise be off-limits, like a beautiful estate or industrial space. Maybe its' a farm, upscale hotel, a sailboat, airplane hangar or rooftop view. The sky is literally the limit! Spend a few minutes thinking about it and checking around. You'll be surprised with what you come up with. Plus, if something seems out of reach, just remember, you never know until you ask!
