Let’s talk about all the fun ideas for your next couples session! Are you ready to ditch the old-school, stiff-posed photos for something that truly captures the vibe of your relationship? I’m talking about all the laughs, the spontaneous moments, and the genuine love – all wrapped up in a photo. Taking photos with your partner isn’t just about having pictures to look back on. It’s about capturing your journey, your growth, and the unique story you’re writing together as a couple. These photos are timeless reminders of your love and the small moments that make your relationship special. Don’t wait for the milestone moments, whatever season of love you are in right now, document that. Down the road, those small moments will mean so much to both of you one day.
How to Come Up with Ideas for Your Couples Session
Sometimes trying to come up with an idea for your couples session might feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be! Think about what you two already love to do together as a couple. Do you have favourite activities or hobbies that you enjoy doing together? Or maybe there is something new that you’ve never done but always wanted to do!
Here are a few questions to ask yourselves as a starting point:
- What is your favourite thing to do on a date night?
- How do we spend our Sunday mornings?
- Is there something we’ve always talked about doing together?
- Is there a place that is special or meaningful to us?
- How do we want to feel when we look back on these photos 20 years from now?
Bringing it back to your answers to these questions can help you come up with some ideas for your next couples session. Maybe your first date was hiking to a waterfall, recreate that! Or maybe you love to cook and enjoy a meal together in your own home, then an in-home session doing just that might be the answer! If you’re stuck, you can always hit me up for ideas, but here are a few to get the idea generator cooking!
