Engagement Sessions: What to Expect

During engagement sessions, we typically spend an hour together. This time allows us to get to know each other better, and it also gives you an opportunity to become more comfortable in front of the camera. Additionally, we can discuss your wedding plans and answer any questions you may have!

Together, we'll select a single stunning location that complements your desired vibe & aesthetic. While I can provide you with a few suggestions to get us started, the possibilities are truly limitless! So, if you have any particular ideas or preferences for your ideal session location, please don't hesitate to share them with me.

Clothing

I'm frequently asked about clothing recommendations, so I thought it would be helpful to provide some information on this topic. When planning your outfits for the session, there's one crucial guideline to keep in mind:

Complement & Coordinate but dont get too matchy!

Find a color palette that you love and choose outfits that compliment each other without looking too matchy-matchy. You can choose to do nuetrals with a few pops of color or a softer palette that has different ranges in tone of the same shades.

Suggestions:

If you have a fun patterned outfit you would like to use, limit it to one person. That way they will pop and still coordinate. Multiple patterns can look busy, and this way they wont be competing with one another.

Add dimension and interest by mixing up the texture of the clothing material and accents.

Feel free to bring any accessories such as scarves, hats, belts and basically anything with your flair. Accessories can pull together an outfit and make it look complete. By switching up accessories and layers, you can get multiple looks without having to do complete outfit changes.

Keep our backdrop in mind when choosing your clothing. If we are on a beach, aim to dress in clothes that are light and flowing. If we are surrounded by fall leaves, layering up with sweaters or scarves is a great option.

Most importantly, be sure to wear clothes you feel comfortable in. Your confidence will really shine through in your photos!

Try to avoid: Large logos, Large Text, Neon Colors

And if you feel like you are in need of assistance, I am happy to help you! Arrange your outfits then send me photos of your favorite combinations. We can work together to ensure we find the perfect style!

Investment & Delivery

In regards to your photos, as I sort through all of the images from our session, I choose to edit the ones that best represent you. I love to give you the images where there are beautiful expressions, and priceless moments being captured. While I do not share every single image from our session, I do strive to deliver the best photos(s) of each pose.

If you would like, I will post a few sneak peek photos on my Instagram + Facebook page within 48 hours of our session. I will aim to have your gallery portraits edited and ready within 2 weeks of our session and you will receive your photos on your own personal online gallery. This allows for the quickest delivery of the images, for you to easily view and share your photos. From there you are welcome to order print products through me, or you can look after creating prints with your own preferred lab. You have full printing rights to these digital images.

Note: Please do not Screenshot images from your gallery, instead select the photo(s) you want and hit the download tab. Options for both web-sized and hi-resolution are given.

Thank you for taking the time to read through the engagement session details, and answering my questions! I’ll be in touch shortly to suggest a few dates that I am available for us to meet.
