How to Relax During an Engagement Session

1. Prepare in Advance

Familiarize yourself with the session location and discuss any specific poses or styles you want with your photographer.

2. Choose a Comfortable Outfit

Select clothing that makes you feel good and reflects your personality. Comfort will help you feel more at ease.

3. Practice Deep Breathing

Before the session, take a few deep breaths to calm your nerves. Inhale slowly, hold for a moment, and exhale deeply.

4. Bring Props/Pets

Incorporate personal items that have meaning to you as a couple. This can help you focus on each other rather than the camera.

5. Stay Hydrated and Nourished

Drink water and eat a light snack before the session to ensure you have the energy and focus you need.

6. Focus on Each Other

Engage in conversation and share laughter. Focusing on your partner will help take the spotlight off the camera.

7. Embrace Candid Moments

Be open to spontaneity. Some of the best photos happen in unposed, candid moments.

8. Trust Your Photographer

Remember that your photographer is there to guide you. Trust their expertise and follow their directions.

9. Take Breaks

If you start feeling overwhelmed, it’s okay to take a short break to regroup and relax.

10. Remember It’s About You

Keep in mind that this session is a celebration of your love. Enjoy the experience and have fun with it!
