Dash & Boheme

Here’s a little secret most photographers won’t tell you… the most emotional, jaw-dropping, heart-skipping photos? They don’t come from stiff poses and perfectly placed hands.
They happen in the wild, unscripted, beautifully imperfect moments.

That’s exactly what I create for my couples.
Photos that look like art and feel like you.
No awkward posing, no forced smiles — just genuine connection, movement, and fun.

If that sounds like your vibe, you’re in the right place. Here’s your guide to getting those natural, fun photos you’ll love forever.

Movement Is Everything

The fastest way to forget there’s a camera pointed at you? Move.

When you run, spin, twirl, swing each other around, or sneak in for a spontaneous kiss you’re not thinking about posing anymore. You’re just having a damn good time with your person, and that’s what makes photos feel alive.

Some of my favorite ways to keep the energy up:

✨ Run towards each other like you haven’t seen each other in weeks
✨ Spin her around like you’re dancing in the kitchen at midnight
✨ Twirl in your dress and don’t worry if it’s perfect
✨ Run away and make them chase you

I promise, you’ll love the way you feel in those moments, and the photos will be even better.

Wear What Feels Like You

Let’s be honest if you’re tugging at your outfit, you won’t be fully in the moment.

Wear clothes you feel confident, comfortable, and yourself in. Something you can move in, snuggle in, run in. Soft, easy, and natural photographs best.

And if you’re not sure what to wear? I send all my couples a style guide and create a moodboard to help you pick pieces that’ll make you feel incredible and look beautiful on camera.

Below is the mood board for this session!

The Little Touches Matter

Those tiny, natural gestures you don’t even think about? They’re everything.

💫 Hold hands like you always do
💫 Brush her hair out of her face
💫 Tug on his jacket
💫 Rest your head on their shoulder
💫 Pull each other in close

It’s those small touches that tell your love story without a single word and I’m here to capture them all.

Fun Prompts That Feel Natural (and Just the Right Amount of Cheesy)

If you’ve ever worried about what to do in front of the camera, don’t. I’m basically your personal hype person and unofficial third wheel.

Here’s a sneak peek at some of my go-to prompts:

❤️ Hug her and kiss her all over – forehead, cheeks, nose, wherever
❤️ Run away and make them chase you (bonus points if you both laugh like kids)
❤️ Whisper what you’re most excited for on your wedding day
❤️ Pretend you’re on the cover of Vogue and give me that serious model face
❤️ Lean into him like it’s the last slow song of the night
❤️ Practice your first dance right then and there, no music needed

These aren’t staged moments — they’re memories in the making.

Let’s Make Photos You’ll Love Forever

At the end of the day, my job isn’t to pose you. (I mean don’t get me wrong, I will definitely direct you, and not just leave you hanging to stand there and feel awkward.) It’s to create an experience where you can be yourselves, move, laugh, and forget the camera’s even there.

That’s when the best photos happen the ones that feel like home and look like art.
And those are the photos you’ll still be obsessed with 50 years from now.

If that’s the kind of story you want to tell, I’d love to document yours.
I’m currently booking 2025–2026 weddings, elopements, and couples sessions.
Let’s get wild, get real, and make something beautiful together.
