Even if you're the type of person who shies away from
spur of the moment snapshots, you've gotta love a good photograph especially
if you and your mate are the stars of the show. After all, this type of
expressive photography is more art than happenstance, a very different breed
than the average point and shoot image.
Although it can take a lot of planning to set the wheels in
motion, being photographed with your sweetie offers evidence of your feelings
for each other.This makes-couples photography the perfect way to spend a little
time together.
Don't be fooled into thinking the actual photography session
will be a no-brainer, though. Couples photography is vastly different from the
solo version. That's because it all depends on the nuances of your
interactions, rather than the singular flash of the pearly whites you've been
accustomed to. The good news is that whether you're in the market for a quirky
way to announce your engagement or celebrate a pregnancy, there's no shortage
of ideas to commemorate the two of you.
Couples Photography Ideas
The location of your photography session often dictates what
ideas you can incorporate, so choose carefully. If you've always dreamed of
sharing a kiss on a merry go round (and having the moment immortalized), you'll
want to book a photographer who can take you to the nearest theme park instead
of the studio.
A location with personal meaning adds a level of depth to
your photograph that just can't be replicated on a green screen. If he proposed
under the massive oak tree at the local park, it only makes sense to use the
location for your engagement session. Plus, you'll both be more comfortable in
a place that's familiar and this will translate into shots that capture your
unique relationship.
If you both let your guard down, you don't run the risk of
looking cheesy. The best photographers will bridge an unnatural divide: posing
you while still managing to capture the "in between" candid moments
that, on camera, appear as if the two of you were alone.
As for poses, well, there's an app for that. We found several
mobile apps full of categorized poses that allow you to earmark your favorites
and show them to your photographer before your session. The same is true of
images gathered from magazines, which also can serve as inspiration for your
own shoot.
For a romantic pose, lean your head against your beloved's
shoulder as he tenderly kisses your forehead. For something a little more
unusual, stand back-to-back, each looking at the camera. And, for a fun photo,
there's nothing quite like documenting the moment you both burst into laughter.
In the end, posing is as complicated as making sure your finger is following a graceful curve and as simple as your natural body
language. This is especially true during a pregnancy photo session, which
focuses on an expectant mother's growing, changing body. If you'd like to break

Couples Pregnancy Photography
A beautiful photograph of your burgeoning belly documents a
moment in time one you'll cherish more and more with age. If you're tired of
seeing the same old belly pics (you know, the ones with a partner's arms
wrapped around a pregnant waist), give your session a sense of personality.
For starters, make sure your belly is big enough to be seen
in all its pregnant glory, but that your face and fingers aren't yet swollen in
the final countdown to delivery day. For most women, that magic number is 30
weeks' gestation. It's also the right time to get out your stretchy,
form-fitting clothes. We're not talking maternity clothes here, but fitted tops
in solid colors that accentuate your curves.
Of course, you could opt out of clothes altogether by draping
your breasts and southern region in luxurious fabric while exposing your
beautifully plumped belly or wear your husband's button-down shirt, or his
fireman pants and suspenders, or any other kind of uniform that illustrates
what he does for a living or hobby. It's a great way to pull him into the scene
in a non-traditional way.
There are a number of sweet poses that capture the
relationship parents have with their baby in waiting. Classic sensibilities
include a partner's cheek to bare pregnant belly, or a pregnant woman leaning
back into the arms of her beau and tipping her chin to receive a kiss. For a
fun angle, lean your heads together and have the photographer shoot from below
the belly to capture your facial expressions. It may look a bit like an eclipse
of the moon, but it's a memorable way to bear witness to a changing body. After
all, that's exactly what maternity portraits are meant to do.
