Not at all. Lifestyle couples sessions are for any stage of your relationship β dating, anniversaries, moving in together, new chapters, or simply celebrating everyday love.
Absolutely. Most couples feel this way at first. I guide you through natural prompts and gentle posing, focusing on connection rather than stiff poses. You donβt need modeling experience β just show up as yourselves.

Booking is simple:
Choosing outfits for your couples session should feel fun and effortless, not stressful. The goal is to wear pieces that feel like you while coordinating in a way that photographs beautifully and timelessly.
Instead of wearing identical outfits, choose colors and styles that complement each other. Think shared tones and textures rather than exact matches.
Neutral and muted colors photograph best, especially in Vermontβs natural settings. Great options include:
Large logos, bold graphics, neon colors, and busy patterns can be distracting and pull attention away from your connection. Solid colors and subtle patterns work best.
Comfort is key β you should be able to move, sit, walk, and interact naturally.
Shoes are often visible, especially during walking or movement-based moments. Choose neutral, comfortable footwear that fits the overall style of your outfit.
The most important rule: wear what feels authentic to you as a couple. When you feel comfortable and confident, it shows in your photos.
If youβre ever unsure, youβre welcome to send outfit photos ahead of your session β Iβm always happy to help you choose.
