WHAt couples should expect during your session
Here’s how it typically goes for couples & engagement sessions: We'll walk, we'll talk, I’ll give you guidance and gentle prompts to spark real candid moments, you'll laugh together, and I'll be a few steps back catching it before you even know I clicked the shutter. You’ll lose any nervousness you might have had — and we will have such a fun time!
My goal is to give you portraits that feel like the two of you. You'll walk away with the real stuff — the laughing, the dancing, the letting go kind of feeling, the way they look at you when no one's watching. That's the stuff I'm chasing — not a trend, not a pose, but the way it actually felt to be young and maddeningly in love.
Smart Outfit Choices Make Your Photos Shine
What you wear can lift a photo or take away from it. Against green hills, soft earthy tones read clean and keep the focus on you and the moment. Think warm neutrals, muted blues, dusty rose, and creamy whites.
A few things to skip:
Loud neon that throws color onto your skin or overtakes the entire photo
Busy patterns that pull the eye away from you, keep it simple and elegant
Stiff or tight clothes you can't move in will make your photos stiff too
Match your colors to the season too. Spring brings fresh blooms and bright green, so lighter tones glow. By October, the hills turn yellow, red, and brown so deeper colors really sing.
Coordinate your looks as a couple rather than matching exactly. Wearing what feels like you, and makes you feel confident is the best!
From Booking to Final Gallery
The path from first hello to finished photos is simple. You send a message, we chat through your ideas, and I help you plan the date, the place, and the timing. No guesswork, no pressure.
On session day, you just show up and be together. I'll guide you gently, then step back and let the real moments happen.
After that, I choose the very best shots, edit your photos and hand them back in via an online gallery. You'll get digital images you can print, frame, and share — the kind you'll keep pulling up for years.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Most engagement sessions run about 30 to 60 minutes. That's plenty of time to settle in, let the nerves fade, and catch the real moments between you
-
Late spring and mid-October are my favorites for Floyd engagement photos. Spring brings fresh green and soft blooms, while October has that sought after fall color. Late summer is really wonderful too, but keep in mind, sunset is late and it may be hotter than you hope(best for a session in water, perhaps?) Fall dates fill early, so reach out ahead of time if you're hoping for one of those spots.
-
Sessions on the parkway provide the best views of the Blue Ridge Mountains and I know so many great spots! If you have a specific look you’re going for just let me know and I’ll help you pick the perfect location. This could mean in the water, a coffee shop, library, downtown, etc!
