Ann Arbor Couples Photography

Couples Portfolio

My favorite thing about working with couples is being a part of their beautiful and unique love story. And before you ask, no, you don't need a reason to book a couples session! You are allowed to just want to celebrate your partnership and capture this moment in time. I LOVE helping couples plan a fun date night, where I just happen to be a third wheel for a bit. I encourage everyone to choose a few spots they love to visit, then once the session is over, keep the date going.

As with everything I do, I don't want this to be a chore for anyone involved, so my main goal is to make sure everyone is having a great time, laughing a lot, getting a little silly, and ending up with amazing memories to look back on. So, why don't you let me be your third wheel, I swear it'll be worthwhile.

Celebrating the love between two people is one of the best parts of life, and I'd be honored to be a part of your love story

"Emily is truly one of a kind—warm, fun, and incredibly talented. From the moment we met her, she made us feel completely at ease and turned what could have been a cold winter photoshoot into such a joyful, memorable experience. She even came prepared with heating pads for us, which perfectly reflects the kind of thoughtful caretaker she is—always going above and beyond for her clients."

Couples session photos should not be a bore OR a chore. My goal with every session is for everyone to have a fun time, be themselves, go explore, and forget about the camera. Yes we'll stop at times for the perfect photo, but for the most part it's an adventure that everyone enjoys.

Have Some Fun!

Photos shouldn't be a chore

I have a prep guide I send to everyone with info on what to wear (or what not to wear), what activities we might get up to during the session, and tutorials on how to use my gallery software. And I'm always here to help between booking and the session!

Prep for the Session

Get outfits + Plan activities

At the end of the call I'll send you a link to everything we covered, and a proposal so you can choose your session, sign the contract, and pay your deposit all at your convenience. Once your deposit is paid I'll send you everything you need for the best session ever!

I'll send you a proposal

I love to start by chatting on the phone to make sure we are a good fit for each other. I want you to be confident that I'm the photographer for you and your partner! We'll go over general details, and you can ask me questions right as they pop up.

"Are you kidding me?!?! I had such high hopes for these photos and you still topped my expectations. I absolutely love them! They are so good!"

My favorite reason. Just because! You do not need a reason to book a couples photo session, you can just book one because you and your partner love each other and want to show the world.

Just Because

Planning a vacation around Michigan? I'd love to pop in for an hour or two to help you document a fun trip you're sure to want to remember.

Vacation

Anniversaries are the perfect time to book a couples session! Why not plan a date night to all your favorite places, let me tag along, and then see how beautiful you and your partner are?

Anniversary

Congrats! You're engaged! Now what? While it's not *required* for a newly engaged couple to get photos, it is something that I think everyone is happy to look back on.

Engagement

Ok but whEN should we book?

First you need to fill out the contact form and I'll send you a link to my calendar so you can choose a time to chat on the phone. From there we'll plan your date adventure together and get you on the calendar!

I will be in touch a few days before the planned session at which time the weather predictions are usually quite accurate. If bad weather is in the forecast there are a few things we can do. We can shift the time of day, change to a different date, or find an indoor location that isn't weather dependent. I have many suggestions of indoor spots that I have ready as backup!

Great question! I will typically have your photos ready within 2-3 weeks. You can always let me know if you need them sooner than that and I can see what I can do.

I am 100% in to help you plan your date with your partner! I have lots of fun ideas for dates and I'd love to help you plan it!

Let's go on an adventure
