CoupleS Sessions
Just the two of you?
Need save the date portraits? Celebrating a recent engagement or a milestone anniversary? Just wanting to capture a special time in your life? I would love to help you preserve this time in your life with your special someone.
We will have a pre-session conversation to discuss the best locations and clothing choices. During our session, I will take a variety of photos of the two of you together, both posed and natural interactions. I will guide you on what to do, how to stand and prompt you for how to interact with each other. Yes, it can feel weird but we won’t make it that way!
After our session, you will be presented with a password protected online gallery of your best images.

Frequently Asked QUESTIONS
-
Use the Inquiry Form found on my contact page or send me an email to hello@letthelightinphotography.com or phone (703) 986-9209.
First time clients: I like to set up a time to talk via phone to discuss the packages, location choices and I will answer any questions you may have!
Once we set our date and time, I will send you the online contract.
Your session is considered scheduled and date held once I receive your contract and retainer fee.
-
I schedule any where from 3-6 months ahead.
I encourage clients to always book early to get their best choice of dates.
Spring and Fall Weekends fill up very fast! Mid March to end of October, weeknight sessions are available.
It is never too early to schedule!
-
The best light of the day is about an hour and half before sunset if we are doing an outdoor session.
For in-home sessions, I typically start between 10am -2pm.
-
If it rains we will schedule for our next date that both of us are available. I may ask for some flexibility if I need to back your session up to a previously scheduled session.
-
I travel within a 25 mile radius of my home in Northern Virginia, which includes a wide variety of great locations. Your home is also an option if you would like an In-Home portrait session. Please see my Locations page and portfolio for places that I recommend in the local area.
Outside of the 25 miles radius, I charge a $75 travel fee.

This depends on your package selection. All of my packages include some digital images and a print credit.
The digital images are chosen by you from your gallery. I include a print credit with my packages because I believe that when you invest in photography you should have something tangible to see and display in your home.
The digital images included in your package, you will have the print rights up to an 8×10 size. You are able to print at your lab of choice 8×10’s and smaller. So this means you can use the digital images for small gift prints for family, your holiday cards, social media posts etc.
Why do I restrict your rights above and 8×10 size?
Because there is a huge difference between consumer labs and professional labs. If you print something large on your walls, I want you to have the best quality available. I give you a print credit included with all packages so you can have a large print in your home that is professionally printed and looks stunning in your home!
Check out my Packages & Pricing page for all the details.

Typically about an hour. We typically move to a few different spots within our location to have some variety in your images.
If you think that you will need more time or would like a more extensive session with more than one location you can add an hour to your package for an additional $100.
-
I have tips for you in my What to Wear Guide - linked here.
You can also send me a message with outfit choices you are considering and I can help.
-
I suggest a small bag to put your phone, keys, sunglasses, or any extras you may have.
-
The best thing you can do is to try to relax! The stress is actually on me!! Relax, no need to be nervous.
If you feel uncomfortable, you are going to look uncomfortable. No need to worry, I will take care of everything during your time with me.
I will prompt you for interaction with each other and your nerves will settle quickly! Our goal is to have fun together and capture some great images of you together.
-
Of course! There is a release section on my contract that allows you to mark if you release your images being shared on my website or social media pages.
I do not ever use client names or even first initials. Some clients choose to see their images first and then allow them to be shared after they view them. Whatever your decision is, I respect it!
-
Ah… the waiting is the hardest part! I will do a sneak peek for you of 2-3 images within 72 hours of your session. Your full gallery will be available to view in 3 weeks after your session.
-
Pinterest is a great place to find ideas. If there is a pose or two that you really like, we can try to emulate it but know that traditionally the image will not necessarily look the same.
I try really hard to have unique images that capture YOU as a couple at your best! Use Pinterest as a source of inspiration but we want what is beautiful and unique about YOUR relationship.
