5 Tips for a Natural and Relaxed Couple Photoshoot

Feeling a bit awkward in front of the camera? You're not alone. Many couples tell me this before their session, and honestly, it’s completely normal. The good news is, you don’t need to know how to pose or act a certain way to get beautiful, natural photos that feel like you.

Here are five simple tips that can help you feel more comfortable and enjoy your couple photoshoot, wherever you are in Australia.

❤️ Don’t worry about doing it “right”

There’s no perfect way to be in love, and there’s no perfect way to stand or smile. The best moments happen when you’re just being yourselves, talking, laughing, holding hands. My job is to catch those little pieces of real life that make your story unique.

❤️ Choose a location that feels like you

It doesn’t have to be a big, dramatic view. Sometimes, the best couple photos happen at the beach where you walk every weekend, in your favourite park, or even at home in your backyard. When you're in a place that feels familiar, you relax, and that shows.

❤️ Wear something that feels comfortable and like your style

You don’t need to match, but choosing outfits that go well together and fit the vibe of the location can really make a difference. Think soft, neutral tones or colours that suit your skin. Most of all, if you feel good in what you’re wearing, you’ll feel better in front of the camera too.

❤️ Move, talk, laugh, and interact with each other

The best couple photos aren’t stiff or overly posed. I’ll guide you lightly when needed, but the real magic happens in the little unscripted moments—when you whisper something silly, when you steal a glance, or when you burst out laughing.

❤️ Trust

Trust each other, trust the process, and trust me as your photographer. I’m not here to direct a show, I’m here to capture what’s already there between you.

You don’t need to be models, you just need to be in love, and maybe a little open to letting your guard down. That’s where the good stuff lives.

If you're thinking about a couple photoshoot and want something relaxed, fun, and truly you, I'm based in Australia and always happy to help you create something real.
