You’re engaged—cue the confetti! 🎉
Now it’s time to celebrate with a photo session that’s all about your story. If you’re wondering what actually happens during an engagement session (and how to make it feel totally “you”), this post is for you. Engagement photo session Pennsylvania, here we go!
How an Engagement Session Works:
We Pick a Location:
Whether you’re dreaming of a garden, a city stroll, or a lakeside sunset, I’ll help you find the perfect spot around Harrisburg, Philly, or anywhere in PA.
Outfit Changes Welcome:
Bring a couple of outfits—one dressy, one casual, or whatever feels most like you. Engagement sessions usually last up to 1.5 hours, so there’s plenty of time for variety!
Zero Awkward Posing:
My goal? Make you feel comfortable and capture your real connection. I’ll guide you with prompts that get you laughing, talking, and being yourselves—no stiff poses, promise.
All About the Moments:
Expect lots of movement, big laughs, quiet hugs, and maybe even a little dancing. I’m there to catch the energy and emotion that make your relationship unique.
How to Prepare:
Relax—this is supposed to be fun!
Don’t stress about being “perfect.” The best photos happen when you’re enjoying yourselves.
Pick Outfits That Make You Feel Confident and Comfortable
Choose clothes that reflect your personalities and make you feel amazing. But here’s the real talk:
Avoid colors that don’t complement your skin tone (if you’re unsure, I’m happy to help you decide!).
Skip graphic tees, logos, or anything with distracting text—these can steal the spotlight from your connection.
Stay away from anything too tight or restrictive; you want to be able to move, laugh, and snuggle up with ease.
Mind the Details
If your session is close to a vacation or lots of sun, be mindful of tan lines—they show up in photos and I don't edit that type of stuff.
Choose shoes you can walk and move in, especially if we’re exploring outdoors.
Trust Me to Find the Best Light and Angles
I’ve got you covered on the technical stuff—just bring your best selves!
Bring Personal Touches
Want to include your pup, a favorite prop, or something meaningful to your story? Bring it along!
After the Session:
