If you've ever thought, "we'd love to do a session, but we're just not photo people..."–you're not alone. So many couples worry that a photoshoot will feel still or awkward. They don't want to fake smiles or do poses that don't feel like them. But here's the good news: your session doesn't have to look like anyone else's. In fact, it shouldn't
When the Reynold's mentioned bringing their guitar to their session at Studio Louelle, I was instantly excited. It wasn't just a cool accessory, it is something deeply personal to them. Music is a big part of their story, and playing music together is something they do often at home.
The cozy, natural-light studio was the perfect space to let their connection shine. The guitar gave them something to do with their hands, a reason to sit close and connect, and something familiar to focus on instead of the camera.
Bringing a meaningful prop adds so much to your session. It could be a guitar, picnic setup, a book you love, or even your pets. Not only does it make your photos more you, it gives you a natural way to connect and interact. You're not just "posing" you're sharing a moment. And that's where the magic happens.
Here are a few more ideas to personalize your session:
• A guitar or instrument you love playing together
• Your favorite blanket and snacks for a laid-back picnic
• Coffee from your go-to New Albany coffee shop
• A shared hobby (skates, paint, games, books)
• Your pets
• Vintage cameras or polaroids
• A letter or journals you've written to each other
Your love story deserves more than cookie-cutter poses and forced smiles!
