What to consider when picking your photography session location





Things to think about/weigh before picking the where and when!





What are the moments in life that you recall with the greatest clarity?



The ones that pushed you, new experiences, maybe when you were a little scared but did it anyway? The ones where you were challenged. The simple moments of pure joy. The quiet moments of contentment.



Your life isn't an Olan Mills moment so why often do people think about that to be the images that they have for their photography? We are told things and how long it has taken me to challenge those thoughts is honestly tiresome.



So here is my challenge to you: don't let your session just be another pretty picture but instead think about what is innately you! What screams your relationship. Is it the quiet moment and simple things like a night in? Is it the long hikes and being in nature? Is it trying new things and challenging yourself?



The answers will vary but it is in those answers that you will get the truth of what your best session should look like!


Take a minute right now, breath. Flip through the first 5 memories you have as a couple. What's the common denominator/underlying current?



Let's take a hike and grapple on some rocks!

Let's go to your apartment and have a quiet moment in your kitchen!

Let's go do something you've never done before!



Let's take your photos and not just make them another pretty moment but let's make them you! As your Raleigh Wedding photographer I want to make your moments not only be beautiful but capture the perfectly unique way you love each other and life!
