QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
But, we are already married?
I get it, most humans think you can only have a session done if they are engaged or getting married. WRONG! Capturing the value of getting to reconnect and spend some time snuggling up with your boo is so important.
Where do you photograph couples?
Couples' photography sessions are so fun because they can be so unique. Got a favorite plant store, brewery or restaurant? Those are the places that are fun to showcase your love! Otherwise, I utilize nature, downtown and parking garages.
