Amelia was a bit nervous before her engagement session. That’s nothing new. Lots of people get nervous. It can be daunting to get in front of a camera. Most people are wondering “what do I do with my hands?” or “should I smile?” It’s just a general feeling of awkwardness for a lot of people to be the center of attention. And who doesn’t worry about looking good?! But you wanna know a secret? We pose our clients, but we usually throw away the first shot. Why? Because we’re shooting for the in between moments. The moment when the smile becomes relaxed and natural rather than cheesy and stiff. The moment when your shoulders drop down after being pulled up tight to your ears. The moment your fake smile turns into a genuine laugh. Those are the photos that can capture who you are individually and as a couple.

Amelia and Spencer were funny. All we had to do was get these two looking at each other and they couldn’t help but eventually laugh. It seemed clear to us that these two often tease each other playfully.
