The Secret to the Best Couple’s Photos? Treat It Like a Date!

Way too many couples think their engagement photos (or even just updated couples’ pics) need to be all stiff and formal. But honestly? That’s the exact opposite of how it should feel! Your photo shoot should be like a fun date night where I just happen to be third-wheeling with a camera.

Think carefree and stress-free. Don’t overthink the perfect outfit or spend hours picking an exact location. The best photos come from you just being you— grabbing drinks or stopping at your favorite little hole-in-the-wall spot. That’s what makes photos feel real, and those are the moments you’ll actually want to frame and hang all over your home.

Brittan & Erickson’s session? Chef’s kiss—the perfect example of this vibe. We wandered through the French Quarter, stopped for empanadas, and just let them enjoy their time together. And the photos? Effortless and romantic.

So if you’re ready for a session that feels more like a date night and less like a posed, awkward photo op—let’s make it happen! I’ll tag along while you do your thing!

The Fun of a Laid-Back Session 

Okay, picture this—you show up to your photo shoot not stressing about looking awkward. Wild concept, right? But that’s exactly what a laid-back couple’s shoot is all about! There’s something so special about capturing you two goofing around and not giving a second thought to whether you look silly (spoiler: you don’t).

Your only job? Have fun! Trust me to handle the rest.

Does this mean we might end up running through the streets of New Orleans, twirling in the middle of the road, and wrapping it all up with some empanadas from Empanola? Absolutely. Because this isn’t about forcing the “perfect” photo—it’s about making real memories. And funny enough, that’s exactly how we end up with the best photos.

One day, when you look back at these photos, you won’t be thinking about whether your pose was perfect—you’ll remember how much fun you had in that moment. And that’s what makes the photos feel real.

A perfect example:

What made Brittan & Erickson’s photos so dang good was that they showed up ready for anything. They didn’t bat an eye when I told her to run and jump into his arms—right in front of a crowd of people. And when I suggested running around a light pole just for fun? No hesitation. They just went with it, had a blast, and trusted that the photos would turn out cute 

Ideas to make your Photo Shoot Feel like a Real Date 

So, how do you pick the perfect spot for your laid-back photo shoot? Easy, think about what you two love to do together!

The biggest thing to remember? These photos should reflect your relationship, so just focus on each other and forget about the camera. And don’t worry, I’m not just gonna show up and start taking pics. I’ll guide you through the whole thing so it feels natural, fun, and totally stress-free!
