One of my favorite ways to approach a summer session is to turn it into a date night! It can be anything that feels like both of you: fishing by a quiet pond, cooking dinner together at home, grabbing milkshakes from your favorite ice cream shop, browsing a local bookstore, or taking a sunset walk through a place you both love. The possibilities are endless!
The best part? It doesn’t have to feel like a traditional photoshoot. Instead of worrying about posing, you get to focus on spending quality time together while I document it naturally. I’ll gently guide you when you need it with prompts and a few relaxed poses, but I’ll also leave room for the quiet moments to unfold on their own.
While parks are always beautiful, they aren't the only option. If your date takes you indoors, you'll have the added bonus of air conditioning during those hot summer months. And if you choose to be outside, doing something you genuinely enjoy together makes the heat fade into the background.
Date sessions also give you permission to slow down and be intentional with your time. Between busy schedules, work, and everyday responsibilities, uninterrupted quality time can be hard to come by. For 45 minutes to an hour, you can put your phones away, laugh together, and simply enjoy being in the moment. Sometimes, that time together is just as meaningful as the photos you'll take home.
These sessions are also a beautiful way to preserve this chapter of your story. Maybe this is the summer you bought your first home, adopted a puppy, celebrated a new season of life, or simply wanted to remember an ordinary evening together. Those everyday moments are often the ones we treasure most years later, and they deserve to be documented just as much as the big milestones.
If being in front of the camera makes you nervous, a date session can feel much more natural. Instead of wondering where to put your hands or whether you're posing "the right way," you can focus on each other. The result is a gallery filled with genuine moments that feel authentic to your relationship.
A date session is about slowing down, choosing something you enjoy together, and capturing this season of life in a natural way. Whether you’re staying in or heading out, my goal is to capture this season of your life in a way that feels relaxed, authentic, and true to you. If that sounds like your kind of session, you'll find everything you need to get started below.

Whether you already have the perfect date in mind or just know you want something different than a traditional photoshoot, this is a great place to start.
When filling out the form, tell me a little about the two of you, any date ideas you’ve been thinking about, and what days of the week typically work best for your schedule. If you’re still figuring it all out, that’s completely okay, we can plan something together!
