I'm LIVING for these videos! I love to see your interaction with the couples, and seeing how comfortable you make them! I can't wait for more videos :)
Thank you so much for these videos! I struggle a lot with confidently directing people for photos so it's nice to kind of have this to refer to in my head. I love that you start with the different poses but all of them end up personalized because of the action that you direct them in.
Becca! I love you and these videos! It's so helpful and just really freaking cool seeing you interact with your couples and how you capture them and their love!
Love love love the way you work and capture such stunning images!! It’s giving me ideas and a bit of courage to get out there and try shooting again xxx
These are a great series. Please keep them coming. Used some of these techniques from your last video this week and they turned out great! Thanks for the awesome content

Becca.....so GREAT!!!!! Do you mind sharing your camera settings? I am curious about your shutter speed with all the movement and your FStop since you are so close to the couple and they are both in focus. Thank you so much!!!! :)
I LOVE your behind the scenes videos! They are the most helpful posing/prompting videos I have found on youtube! I'm from MA but plan on taking a trip to TN within the next year or so that way I can book a couples session with you! You are sooo gifted, girl! :)
You’re so talented and these videos truly help us aspiring photographers! I’ve used a few of your tips and tricks for my shoots and they truly do wonders. I feel more confident in directing and see a difference in clients and then feeling comfortable. Keep up the amazing work! We appreciate it 😀
Becca, you take such amazing photos. I am taking photography classes now. You inspire me to continue what I'm doing and hopefully go into either wedding photography or portrait photography
I bet there are quite a few fuzzy ones in the bunch, and she takes a ton really quickly to make sure she at least gets some sharp ones while the motion is happening. She isn’t going to show the fuzzy ones haha, she’s only gonna show the best! So, just keep that in mind. She only showed maybe 50 photos throughout the video, but probably took at least 1200 during the session. With that ratio, she only needed 1 in every 24 to be sharp. If she delivers 150 images, that means only 3 out of every 24 (or 1 in 8) needs to be sharp. So, it’s not all that crazy if you think about the numbers ✌🏼 Just some things to think about 🙌🏼
If I took those photos, I’d retire! Haha. Awesome and thanks for the BTS. The couple is amazing and so are you and your hubs haha. Can’t wait to see what you are working on.
You really have a nice way/demeanor with the couples with encouraging them to love up on each other in a wholesome and earnest way. Have you thought about nd filters? I love your blown out look and would love to see where you go with that technique. Best to you.
Uh oh I was wondering as well! Maybe she is on aperture priority, ISO would be auto and for the shutter speed she has set up a minimum (of which I cant do on my canon.. meh) so it wont go too down resulting in blurry images. Just a guess.
I have my focus point set to be in the middle. I keep it there and focus on the subject but then move the camera to compose the shot. I do this very quickly for almost every shot I take. The lighting doesn't change much throughout the session so I don't need to change my settings often. I probably changed my settings between prompts a little bit but just cut it out of the video
I love your videos! Thank you for sharing these behind the scenes! Awesome photos! You don’t happen to be selling your own preset or using a particular one that we could purchase online? Thank you!
You are amazing. So inspired by you. I wish I had more time to practice however finding it hard as my son is only 9 months old. Do you use spot metering when doing backlighting? I can see you must use super fast shutter speed. Do you prioritise shutter over aperture if needed? I assume you also increase ISO as high as needed depending on lighting situation? Are these best prior to sunset?
Another great video! I noticed you're snapping a lot of photos and I can't figure out how you're focusing so fast between clicks. Are you moving focusing points, using back-button focusing, or some other technique? Would love to know! Thanks so much :)
Hey! Do you focus with the single spot mode while doing the movement photos? :) I have a Nikon as well (D750) and am always asking myself which focus mode to use while movement photos.
So I am a photographer (I work in a studio and I'm a fine art student so I do a lot of fine Art photography as well) but my fiancee and I are getting our engagement photos tomorrow so I've been binge watching your videos to help me pose families and couples but also things to think about while we're posing.
Love the way you interact with the people you photograph in all your videos. You have a special gift of putting them at ease. Did anyone teach you that or are you just a natural? Your laugh is cute and it comes out even more when the couples are really being playful. It's adorable to watch and listen. 😍 I think you'll be the next big photographer on TH-cam that everyone looks up to. Keep up the awesome work! I guess the only drawback is you got that ring on your finger... 😭...LOL. BTW, do you sell your presets? Also, I can't wait to see the projects you're working on.
I have a Nikon camer as well and having a hard time finding videos on settings for my camera to use manual settings and getting the movement shots I want. Do you have a video about your settings?
Love your videos, I have reached a point where I am getting more from behind the scenes stuff than actual tutorials. You are the back light master. Also, in a d750 girl (50mm), but I miss my 35. I might have to drag it out on my other camera and play. I assume you spot meter to their cheeks to get them exposed, do you have to lower your highlights in post at all?
Absolutely! Unless they are very old and crippled! But even then you could still do a lot of these because everyone is young at heart. I would definitely try a lot of these with older couples like my parents. I've done poses like these with my grandparents and they turned out soooo cute! They're in their 80's
You are brilliant :) It's a pity you don't live in Poland. It would be nice to meet you :) I wish you success and I look forward to another interesting relationship :) Regards, Mateusz.
Becca
Heather, you guys are adorable! Can I ask where your wrap was from?
Brooke Nelson thanks! It’s a couple years old but it’s from Free People!
You both are a cute couple!
I'm LIVING for these videos! I love to see your interaction with the couples, and seeing how comfortable you make them! I can't wait for more videos :)
Thank you so much for these videos! I struggle a lot with confidently directing people for photos so it's nice to kind of have this to refer to in my head. I love that you start with the different poses but all of them end up personalized because of the action that you direct them in.
These videos have taught me so much on posing and interacting with my clients, I need more!!! I've watched these all like 1000 times!!
I have looked for videos like this for sooo long. Thank you so much for making them!! They are wonderful, and I also really love your editing style!!
These videos are ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. Please, please keep these coming
ALL OF THESE BEHIND THE SCENES VIDEOS ARE AMAZING! YOU ARE SO TALENTED!
I love how you direct them and your pictures are AMAZING!!
Becca! I love you and these videos! It's so helpful and just really freaking cool seeing you interact with your couples and how you capture them and their love!
These videos are so helpful!! I could watch them all day💛
"Faith it till you make it "......YES
william Maness YES I love her shirt!!
I needed that quote just as much as I needed the video. Great job.
You. Are. So. Talented. Like I can't even express it. I am so inspired by you.
thank you!
I wish we could see a video of the customers reactions to their photos!
Love love love the way you work and capture such stunning images!! It’s giving me ideas and a bit of courage to get out there and try shooting again xxx
Love this video! I would love to see how you edit the backlight photos, 'cause they are stunning!
Or even just her raw imagines to see how she starts with them.
These are a great series. Please keep them coming. Used some of these techniques from your last video this week and they turned out great! Thanks for the awesome content
Awesome!!! So glad they've been helpful!
Can you do plus's sized couple and a video about when the dude is shorter?
Yes and also a midget transexual couple please! Where the man who used to be the woman is taller
@AbelR91 that slaps 🤣
I love your laughter... I love how genuine you are while you shoot..

Becca.....so GREAT!!!!! Do you mind sharing your camera settings? I am curious about your shutter speed with all the movement and your FStop since you are so close to the couple and they are both in focus. Thank you so much!!!! :)
I always wish to know what focus settings photographers use when the subject is fast moving
OMG! You are the best! I never get tired of watching your behind the scenes videos :) thank you so much!
I LOVE your behind the scenes videos! They are the most helpful posing/prompting videos I have found on youtube! I'm from MA but plan on taking a trip to TN within the next year or so that way I can book a couples session with you! You are sooo gifted, girl! :)
that'd be awesome!
I really do love your work. Natural light all the way is what I love as well !
You're awesome. Thanks for sharing this shoot and letting us all learn from you! Bless you!
I love how you guide them😍 Thank you 😊
How do you keep everything in sharp focus, like when they were twirling?
Fast shutter speed
You’re so talented and these videos truly help us aspiring photographers! I’ve used a few of your tips and tricks for my shoots and they truly do wonders. I feel more confident in directing and see a difference in clients and then feeling comfortable. Keep up the amazing work! We appreciate it 😀
I just found your channel & I am obsessed with your videos its been helping me so much as a new photographer keep them coming!!
Becca, you take such amazing photos. I am taking photography classes now. You inspire me to continue what I'm doing and hopefully go into either wedding photography or portrait photography
I love the shots of the rock and sky and no trees in the back ground
PLEASE KEEP THESE COMING! SO SO HELPFUL!
I’m so glad you exist! 🖤
you have so many good posing ideas!!😍i love watching your videos. they inspire me! :)
I love you "Faith it til you make it shirt"!
I love these videos!! Thank you! You’re such an inspiration!!💕
Really glad I found you guys,specially like your use of movement . Makes one think outside the box.
LOVE THIS , how do you get such sharp pics with the quickness you take these ??? and what settings do you use PLEASE ??
Try increasing your shutter speed. That usually helps capture tack sharp motion pics
I bet there are quite a few fuzzy ones in the bunch, and she takes a ton really quickly to make sure she at least gets some sharp ones while the motion is happening. She isn’t going to show the fuzzy ones haha, she’s only gonna show the best! So, just keep that in mind. She only showed maybe 50 photos throughout the video, but probably took at least 1200 during the session. With that ratio, she only needed 1 in every 24 to be sharp. If she delivers 150 images, that means only 3 out of every 24 (or 1 in 8) needs to be sharp. So, it’s not all that crazy if you think about the numbers ✌🏼
Just some things to think about 🙌🏼
WOW! so fun to watch your videos and feel I'm there with u guys.
I learned from you a lot to my couple session.
Thank you so much!!!
Ylevyp 📷
Yeeesss I really loved this BTS again!! Can't wait to try some of the poses this weekend at a wedding 😍
Love your videos and is such an amazing help to get me out of my comfort zone
If I took those photos, I’d retire! Haha. Awesome and thanks for the BTS. The couple is amazing and so are you and your hubs haha. Can’t wait to see what you are working on.
I don’t see the link for your camera strap. I loooooove your style of shooting..it is fantastic!!!! Everything about your photography is awesome!!!
You really have a nice way/demeanor with the couples with encouraging them to love up on each other in a wholesome and earnest way. Have you thought about nd filters? I love your blown out look and would love to see where you go with that technique. Best to you.
I notice you seem to spend no time changing focus or iso, what are your settings? These videos are so helpful!!
Uh oh I was wondering as well! Maybe she is on aperture priority, ISO would be auto and for the shutter speed she has set up a minimum (of which I cant do on my canon.. meh) so it wont go too down resulting in blurry images. Just a guess.
Same question! I was in awe. You don’t look like your decomposing at all either
Re-composing
I have my focus point set to be in the middle. I keep it there and focus on the subject but then move the camera to compose the shot. I do this very quickly for almost every shot I take. The lighting doesn't change much throughout the session so I don't need to change my settings often. I probably changed my settings between prompts a little bit but just cut it out of the video
So amazing!!! Your flow is just amazing! Oh how I wish I could be that way!
LOVED THIS!!! Becca, do you shoot fully wide open or keep your aperture at 2 or 2.2, for example?
I shoot around 1.8-2.8 depending on how I feel! I rarely shoot at 1.4
Absolutely awesome!! Thank you for giving your skills and tips for FREE! You work! Amazing gallery!
More more more never stop making videos !!
This is incredibly helpful! Would love to see a shoot with a middle aged couple. Like maybe in their 50s.
These are precious and the tutorial is extremely helpful!
I absolutely love the coloring when you edit as well, do you hand editor or use a preset if you don't mind me asking?
Thank you for these videos! So inspirational, absolutely love your work 💕
You are amazing and an inspiration! How long do your couple's sessions usually last and how many photos do you deliver?
they last a couple of hours and i'll deliver around 250 images
Great job! I love it!
Great video!!! Loving the BTS! What is your shutter speed for these pictures??
1000 or faster
Thank you for sharing! Love watching your videos! Love the pictures! :)
I love your videos! Thank you for sharing these behind the scenes! Awesome photos! You don’t happen to be selling your own preset or using a particular one that we could purchase online? Thank you!
I use my own and will be selling them soon!
Wedding party candid!
You are amazing! Thanks for the inspiration ❤️
You guys are super brilliant!
Fantastic video. What aperture and shutter speed do you use with your movement shots?
You are amazing. So inspired by you. I wish I had more time to practice however finding it hard as my son is only 9 months old.
Do you use spot metering when doing backlighting?
I can see you must use super fast shutter speed. Do you prioritise shutter over aperture if needed? I assume you also increase ISO as high as needed depending on lighting situation?

Another great video! I noticed you're snapping a lot of photos and I can't figure out how you're focusing so fast between clicks. Are you moving focusing points, using back-button focusing, or some other technique? Would love to know! Thanks so much :)
Hi Becca, I'm new to your channel :) loved this so much! got so much idea from this. What lens do you use?
Hey! Do you focus with the single spot mode while doing the movement photos? :) I have a Nikon as well (D750) and am always asking myself which focus mode to use while movement photos.
I'm pretty sure she is using single auto focus and using the shutter button as focus as well
I do the zone focus I think it's called that. I used to do the single spot but I switched to zone to try it out for those movement shots
@@Louie_Vision I use back button focus
So I am a photographer (I work in a studio and I'm a fine art student so I do a lot of fine Art photography as well) but my fiancee and I are getting our engagement photos tomorrow so I've been binge watching your videos to help me pose families and couples but also things to think about while we're posing.
I have been waiting for ur videos
I love your videos. Thank you for sharing! I'm wondering what you set your metering mode to? I'm a Nikon user as well, and struggle with this. THanks
This makes me want to book a photoshoot ASAP lol
I very much love your photography.
A person really doesn't need to watch any other posing tips for couples photoshoots videos after watching this one.
Well done.
Do you use the same shutter speed the whole time? If so, what do you use??
Love the way you interact with the people you photograph in all your videos. You have a special gift of putting them at ease. Did anyone teach you that or are you just a natural? Your laugh is cute and it comes out even more when the couples are really being playful. It's adorable to watch and listen. 😍 I think you'll be the next big photographer on TH-cam that everyone looks up to. Keep up the awesome work! I guess the only drawback is you got that ring on your finger... 😭...LOL.
BTW, do you sell your presets? Also, I can't wait to see the projects you're working on.
Thank you! This did not come naturally at first, it took a lot of photo shoots and practice to get to this point! My presets will be for sale soon!
I have a Nikon camer as well and having a hard time finding videos on settings for my camera to use manual settings and getting the movement shots I want. Do you have a video about your settings?
Hey Becca, do you use gels for your flashes, when you shoot indoor?
Love your content!!
What time of day do you typically shoot??
Tiffany Blankenship I was wondering this same thing!
Love your videos, I have reached a point where I am getting more from behind the scenes stuff than actual tutorials. You are the back light master. Also, in a d750 girl (50mm), but I miss my 35. I might have to drag it out on my other camera and play. I assume you spot meter to their cheeks to get them exposed, do you have to lower your highlights in post at all?
Amy Pointer Photography I totally agree! I’m learning more from these bts videos than actual tutorials!
Hi Becca, I really enjoyed watching your behind the scene video, could you show us BTS on the wedding day?
What is the determining factor for when you use the 35mm vs 50 mm lens?
thank you so much, this is so helpful, as a self thought photographer!
Would this also be good for older couples anniversary? Thoughts....???
This was my question because they will be past the lovey dovey stage 😂
Maybe not the jumping and piggy back ones, but the hand holding/ walking behind shots would be so sweet at any age!
Absolutely! Unless they are very old and crippled! But even then you could still do a lot of these because everyone is young at heart. I would definitely try a lot of these with older couples like my parents. I've done poses like these with my grandparents and they turned out soooo cute! They're in their 80's
great video!
Where is this location at? I am in Arizona and Love the view! Thanks in advance!
Which lens' are you using??
I am so nervous you're going to back up and fall off that ledge during this session!
I was worried about the dog falling/jumping.
Do you take family photos or have engagement shoots where a kid is involved? I would love to see how you handle those shoots with posing.
I was curious what was your ISO and shutter speed when you were shooting at
omg you are amazing!!
More on editing and camera settings you use??
Are you using manual mode ?
yes
I have trouble understanding manual setting
Again thank you 😊 I
So do you end up with like 10 thousand photos?
I can't have been the only terrified the dog was gonna fall off the edge of the cliff!
For anyone wondering what 35mm lens she is using, I'm 99% sure she is using a sigma 35mm 1.4 art lens
Great Job
SHES SUPER SWEET! And good!!!
You are brilliant :) It's a pity you don't live in Poland. It would be nice to meet you :) I wish you success and I look forward to another interesting relationship :) Regards, Mateusz.
just want to know if you are shooting wide open
Edd
Sorry but who ever is doing the BTS is terrible, too much camera shake, the videos are not pleasant to look at
