We knew from the first video chat I had with Heidi & James that they were going to be an amazing couple to work with ☺️. What a beautiful wedding day! So much love, joy, excitement, and a really beautiful mix of culture and traditions creatively displayed through the whole day. Honor to have been able to meet you both along with your families ☺️🙏. Can’t wait to share with you your precious moments from your wedding day ☺️🙌. #gonzalezjphoto

Posing can come super natural to people and for others it can create some anxiety. Our number one goal is that all our couples feel at ease during any portrait session. Some ways to combat posing anxiety are,⁣
⁣
🔸Meeting before your session in person or via video and get to know each other. It helps everyone feel a little less like they are in the spotlight come the portrait time because we’ve chatted about your likes and dislikes.⁣
⁣
🔸Have fun!! We like to find out what makes our couples laugh in their truly authentic ways and bring that into our sessions.⁣
⁣
🔸Find out how they are most comfortable. When couples are very lovely dovey, we ask them to snuggle in and magic happens because they aren’t really posing.

Congrats Michelle & Steve, so happy for you guys!
