Why Engagement Photos Matter
Engagement photos are more than just a fun shoot, they capture the essence of your relationship and create memories to share with your friends, family, and future generations. Children love looking back on these images, seeing their parents' early love and joy. Plus, if you’re serious about having amazing wedding photos, an engagement session is a fantastic way to get comfortable in front of the camera. It helps ease any nervousness, so you’ll look and feel natural when the big day arrives.
Design & Portrait Consultations
Before your session, we offer a complimentary consultation over the phone, email, or Skype. We’ll help you select the perfect location, discuss outfit ideas, and shape your vision for the shoot. What story do you want to tell through your engagement photos? We’re here to answer all your questions and help bring that vision to life.
Choosing the Right Location
Pick a location that holds meaning for both of you, whether it’s the spot where you got engaged, where you first met, or even your favorite coffee shop. The more personal the location, the more meaningful and unique your photos will be.
Photo Style & Wardrobe
Your wardrobe sets the tone for your engagement photos, so it’s important to choose outfits that reflect your personality and the style of photography you want! Whether it’s romantic, casual, candid, or formal. Most couples opt for semi-casual attire to create a nice contrast with the more formal wedding photos.

They grow up so fast
As a pet owner with three dogs, I understand how overwhelming it can feel to plan a photo session that includes your furry family members. It’s tempting to put off getting those cherished family portraits for another day. But as the years fly by faster than ever, capturing these precious moments becomes even more important. Worried your pet might not cooperate? Unsure about what everyone should wear? Not sure what would look best on your walls? I’m here to make the process easy and stress-free for you.

Accessories
Less is more when it comes to accessories. Simple, elegant jewelry or a classic watch will photograph beautifully, while too many bold accessories can overwhelm the picture.

Props are a great way to showcase your personality, but keep it minimal to maintain focus on you as a couple. And for footwear? Ladies, don’t be afraid to bring standout shoes—something fun and eye-catching that adds a pop of color!
