How to Plan a Meaningful Couples Photoshoot in Houston
Planning a couples photoshoot can be more than a checklist—it can be an intentional moment of reflection and celebration. Your photos should tell a story that’s true to you.
Here’s how to make that happen:
☾ Choose a location that means something (or one that you love)
Maybe it’s the coffee shop where you had your first date, a favorite hiking trail, or your own backyard. Houston and Spring have no shortage of beautiful spots, but I’ll always encourage you to pick one that feels right.
I offer my clients an exclusive list of my favorite locations in the greater Houston area. Creeks, forests, fields, even spots with more of an urban touch. You name it, it’s probably on there. So, for those who may be a little unsure of where their session should happen, I have options!
☾ Incorporate personal touches
Bring your dog, wear the necklace your partner gifted you, or play your favorite vinyl if your session feels better suited in-home. Small things tell big stories.
☾ Dress for comfort and confidence
Coordinated doesn’t mean identical. Think movement, texture, and clothes that make you feel like yourself. How you feel about what you’re wearing will reflect in your images – keep comfort in mind!
☾ Trust the process
I’m a very go-with-the-flow kind of photographer. I follow my clients’ lead and always aim to keep things laid back and just… a damn good time. The best moments happen when you forget the camera’s even there. So, my advice? Show up to have fun and let your photographer do the rest. Being in the moment and trusting the process is where the magic happens.
Your session is a celebration of how far you’ve come—and where you’re going together.
