Why couples book this

Most couples tell me the same thing in the first five minutes: we're awkward, we've never done this, we don't know what to do with our hands. Good. That's the normal starting point, and it's my job — not yours — to solve.

Sessions are fully directed. I'll tell you where to stand, where to walk, what to do with each other. Then I stop talking and let the real thing happen, because the frame you'll actually print is the one right after the direction ends — the laugh, the look, the forehead touch nobody posed for.

This is also the lowest-pressure way to find out whether we work well together before a wedding day. A lot of my wedding couples start here, and every wedding collection includes one.

Good To Know

The questions I get most

We're not photogenic. Seriously.

Nearly everyone says this, and it's almost never true — what people mean is they've never been directed well. I'll tell you exactly where to stand and what to do, and within about ten minutes you'll stop thinking about the camera. That's when the session actually starts.

How much is an engagement session?

The Signature Lifestyle Collection is $750 for one hour, one location and two outfits. The Editorial is $1,200 for two hours, up to two locations and unlimited outfits. Both include a full high-resolution gallery with printing rights. If you book a wedding collection, an engagement session is included at no extra cost.

Where should we shoot?

Every session includes a location consultation. Favorites are Flippen Park and Prather Park in Highland Park, the fields at White Rock Lake at golden hour, the murals of Deep Ellum, and the architecture of Downtown and the Arts District. The full location guide is here.

Do you photograph proposals?

Yes, and they're some of my favorite work. We'll plan the spot and the timing, I'll be somewhere you won't notice, and you'll have the whole thing documented from the moment before she turns around.

When will we get our photos?

Your full curated gallery is delivered within two weeks.
