Swipe My Favorite Prompts: How To Capture the Photos Your Couples Will Treasure Most

Ever left a session feeling like you missed “the shot” – the one that truly captures your couple’s real story? Or maybe you’ve felt stuck in a rut, using the same prompts and poses, wishing you could create images that feel more meaningful (for your clients and for you)? 

If so, you’ll love this quick, actionable episode where I share the simple question I ask during every session that uncovers those hidden, heartfelt moments – plus real-life stories of how it’s led to some of my best work. If you’re craving more creative flow and a way to take every session to the next level, this one’s for you.

In this week’s episode you’ll discover:

  • The exact question I ask couples that reveals their unique rituals, quirks, and memories, so you never miss a truly meaningful shot 

  • Real behind-the-scenes stories: from couples cuddling their dog as a pillow, to spontaneous fishing adventures at sunset, to cozy kitchen counter moments 

  • How one simple follow-up transformed a standard “walking” shot into something way more personal – and how you can do the same

  • The subtle mindset shift that helps you stop rushing, get curious, and create work that actually feels like your couple (while boosting your own creative confidence)

  • How this approach works for family and branding sessions too, so you can create magic with every client, every time

  • Plus: download my actual pre-engagement session questionnaire for free! These are the exact questions I send every couple so I can show up feeling prepared, inspired, and ready to capture their story
