Pre-photoshoot Talk (Couples & Maternity)
Hi! I'm so excited to meet you two soon!! Here are a couple of points that I want to share with you beforehand. Feel free to share with your partner! I'll go over these same things at the beginning of our session, so that everyone can hear, but here they are, so that you have a heads up. :)
We might take a couple of photos where everyone is looking at the camera, BUT for the most part, please DON'T look at me. Look at each other. :)
I want your photos to show love & connection, so stand/sit closer than usual and always be touching each other. Hold their hand, hug their arm, lean your head on them, put your arm around them, touch their hair/face, kiss their temple, etc.
Remember this when you're thinking, "Hey, what should I do with my hands?"
Be in the moment and connect with each other. Be playful/silly, chat, flirt, move, dance and have fun like you normally do! Fun = genuine smiles! The more you interact like usual, the more meaningful the photos will be. :)
Ladies, stand about 45 degrees to the camera. Bend the knee that's closer to me, or put one foot slightly in front or behind the other. If applicable, face your partner.
Lastly, remember that we're here to have fun and capture some memories, so adopt a lighthearted attitude and go with the flow!
