In my aunt’s engagement pics the photographer had her groom (who’s easily double her weight in just pure muscle and way taller than her) pretend to get on her back instead of her on his, and they still have that photo framed 11 years later. Their laughing faces emit pure joy and playfulness.
I do photography in NY and have a hard time explaining posing to clients! This is perfect and you explain everything nicely! I would love to see a BTS of different sessions!
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I'm in the beginning process of photography and have been getting stumped with pose ideas and this just helped me so much!
Thankyou for this!! I love these prompts! I’ve got a maternity shoot tomorrow and they want it to be mainly fun and laughing shots. These will work perfectly!
It went perfect!!!! The photos came out so beautiful!!! I’ve been so critical of myself because I’m a newbie and I know my work isn’t yet the best but man! I couldn’t believe I actually took these photos! I used your tips and at the end of the shoot the couple told me “you did so good directing us. We wouldn’t have known how to pose or do it without you telling us what to do.” THANK YOU SO MUCH again for the tips. This video really helped me so much. I’m photographing their wedding as well in November and I feel a lot more comfortable after this weekend. Wish me luck! 😩
This was the most easiest and simplest tips ever! Could you do more videos how to prompt family and senior? Your tips make the client look like they are really having fun and it looks and feels natural as well!
I love your humility, not claiming to know it all, that we are all learning together. 😊 Some of those prompts I've used before, and some I have not. Super helpful! 🖤
Thank you so much for all these prompts! I've been using them this past year and they have been so helpful in getting raw emotions and candid shots from my couples! xx
Oooh I love this! You need to make more videos! I would love one for how to get kids to relax..or maternity! Because a lot of these fun couple shots don’t work for pregnant ladies, but I get so bored with the classic maternity shots!
this was an AMAZING video! it helped me soo much! as someone who isnt the most extroverted person out there i seriously struggle with direction but have recently been giving prompts to my clients, it helps me to not be as awkward either lmao thanks for all the ideas and and showing example photos!! (:
Girl!! I’m a photographer in Oklahoma and just found your channel on TH-cam while searching for prompts to take my photography to the next level. Omg I LOVE these ideas!! Can’t wait to check out the rest of your videos!
Raphael Rodriguez 😂 I’m not going anywhere, I promise. Between the holidays, moving/renovating and lots of weddings, life has been crazy and TH-cam has been pushed back 😭 But I have plenty of content coming 2020!💛
Alexx Acor 🙏🏿 prayers my her soul find peace! (Looking forward you the new content! I did the exact same thing on my channel. Made a single video that got 150k views and never followed up. Here’s to reviving our channels and have a successful 2020!)
Karyn Marquis shutter is NEVER below 250 for me (my mark iii has a harder time below that) and my fstop is anywhere from wide open at 1.2/1.4-2.2 I love bokeh!!
🌟✨🌟 oh MY. These ideas were just so amazing like you are also. What an incredible bunch of tips to get such fun and emotion from a couple in a wide variety of poses. You’re so well spoken and so very pleasing to watch too. This was win, win, win. You rock...!! 💝
Kayla Wade Such a good question! I actually am going to show you EXACTLY what I emailed to a mom inquiring about pictures and I could just tell she was old school, “posed” picture mom. That’s what I feel she was expecting. So this is what I said, “I am a very energetic person! I love to get mom and dad laughing, snuggling and taking engagement pictures all over again! It's a fun time when everyone lets loose and just has some fun! I always take standard portraits with everyone posed looking at the camera, but my heart lies in candid, fun or silly moments that capture everyone's personalities. So we will run around, laugh with each other and have a good time! This should be a great and fun experience and take away the stigmas behind family pictures that can make dads and moms just want to get this day over. It's an experience, in all honesty - and a fun one at that!” We have our date booked for next week! Hope that helps!💛 set the tone before the session!
Wow....... Alexx ...!! First one.?? It surely doesn’t show. Big congrats and quite well done and so well spoken too... extremely pleasing to the eye too. HAA. This will be big stuff for you. Was all of the lighting natural here.?? Thanks for the awesome content and can’t wait to see more. Subbed for sure. 💎
James Mason hi James!! Totally all natural light! The only time I pull out a flash is during wedding receptions when I gets too dark and if I’m doing some late-night dark shoot with a couple! I love natural light
Alexx Acor thanks for the reply. I just watched this again twice and don’t know why I thought that way. All seem to be on cloudy days with soft diffused light. So well done.
Hey, Alexx. I really loved hearing the 5 prompt ideas, so clever! You talked about making a video on romantic/intimate prompts, I’m sure a ton of ya would love seeing that if you ever make videos again. Thanks! :)
I just used these in my shoot today and it was exactly what I needed. Thank you so much. Looking forward to future videos! Also would love some bts from one of your shoots
Gabriella Marie I definitely feel like a 35mm is a great focal lentos for everyone and almost every situation! However, I started with the Nifty-Fifyy for canon. Like $100 for the 50mm and it’s an amazing starter lens! So 35mm or 50mm. Learn to master those and your camera and you’ll be amazing!
I was so stoked to find your first video! I love your style and how clear you explain everything.... but I’m so sad to see the TH-cam thing isn’t consistent with you 😭 please come back!!
You guys are so sweet! I had no idea people would find these videos helpful! I came back to find such amazing compliments last month so o have a few in the works!😍
When you are just starting out, I would definitely reach out to couples that you feel would help you create content you want to attract. You attract what you put out there. Do some free shoots (with contracts) and let them know the exact terms and that they will get free photos as they help you build your portfolio. Then hashtags on IG alllll day, SEO and Pinterest!
In my aunt’s engagement pics the photographer had her groom (who’s easily double her weight in just pure muscle and way taller than her) pretend to get on her back instead of her on his, and they still have that photo framed 11 years later. Their laughing faces emit pure joy and playfulness.
Love the simple breakdown. Thanks so much!

Learned so much from this video, THANK YOU! Couple photos are my favorite and I will definitely be able to put these prompts to use. (:
Oh good!! That makes me SO happy!!
What type of lenses do you normally use for your engagement photo shoots? I think you said it but I had a hard time making it out.
This is an awesome video!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for sharing! Great job
Wow, these are sooo useful!!!! Thank you so much. Hopefully we can see another video 😊
So helpful!
Well done! I just subscribed. What are some of your go to settings as far as f stops and shutter? Thank you.
Karyn Marquis shutter is NEVER below 250 for me (my mark iii has a harder time below that) and my fstop is anywhere from wide open at 1.2/1.4-2.2 I love bokeh!!
Thank you for some amazing ideas for poses. I would like to see BTS videos and maybe some on lighting. :D
Wow. Thank you so much for the tips. I’m shooting an engagement this weekend and I’ll totally apply these.

Liked AND subscribed. 🤟🏼
Thank you for this, I just started taking pictures for couples.
great great great!!! and so simple! Thank you for this video!!!
Great video! This will help me get more emotion from my clients. They also look so static and posed, so this will help lots!
Please keep creating videos!! I loved this
who do you focus on while clients are doing the hip bump?
This was so inspiring. I will try them all. I think the 'nosepainting' will be my favorite. :D I would love to see more videos like that from you!
Love this!! I really hope you'll upload more videos!
Kara Bubolz Thank you so much! I definitely will!🥰
This was so helpful!! Thank you!
When you’re moving so fast with your feet, do you use manual or auto focus on the lens? Thanks for this video!!
Totally auto! The only time I switch into manual focus is if the sun is shining in my lens and I can't catch focus! Or for video!
This was super helpful!
I love this and it was very helpful! I'd love to see more of your promptography!! From couples, to families
these are amazing babe. why do you only have 2 videos?!!! please do more
This video was incredibly helpful! Would love to see more from your channel.
Fantastic video! Thank you so much!
That was so helpful 😇. I'm gonna use ot tommorow for my shoot.
This is great! How would you suggest broaching the prompts with your clients, when they’re expecting a more posed picture?

Im just starting portrait photography and the camera that i have right now is a nikon d3300 do you have any recommendations for a good lens?

I just discovered this channel, I really do wish she posted frequently
Facts
You guys are so sweet! I had no idea people would find these videos helpful! I came back to find such amazing compliments last month so o have a few in the works!😍
This is great! Do you have any tips for getting new couple clients?
When you are just starting out, I would definitely reach out to couples that you feel would help you create content you want to attract. You attract what you put out there. Do some free shoots (with contracts) and let them know the exact terms and that they will get free photos as they help you build your portfolio. Then hashtags on IG alllll day, SEO and Pinterest!
