This is a full behind the scenes video with Becca Cannon! I had Kidron come a long on a very real photo shoot with me to film all the fun prompts and poses I have my couples do. This session was very unique because I had never met my couple before this session so I didn't have much of a chance to get to know them before hand. However, before and during the session I wanted to get to know them a little bit to help make the session more comfortable. One of the best ways to make them feel comfortable is by a lot of direction in the photos. And this is what the video is for! You can see how I am constantly giving them direction and positive encouragement to reassure them they're doing an amazing job! So if you need inspiration on how to get these natural reactions and to really see their personality come out in the photos then you will definitely enjoy this video!
***So many are asking what cameras and lenses I'm using! Nikon D750 Nikon D810 + 35mm f1.8 + 24mm f1.8

I am about to go do my first-ever couples photoshoot with strangers and I am beyond nervous trying to prepare for it. This honestly helped so so much thank you for showing us that behind-the-scenes directing I feel a lot more prepared! Wish me luck haha

How did it go?

@kassey1265 Жыл бұрын

@@Dakren12 It was actually pretty fun! The couple was pretty awkward and goofy so it wasn't as romantic as I was planning for but I was able to get some really cute photos of them! So I'd say it was a win :)

Girl! Your energy I love it! Super helpful video. Even before I saw this this is exactly how I am when I did two sessions with a couple and I felt like I was being too extra 😂 it’s good to see that I’m not alone. I’m a hype woman when taking photos and I’m always complimenting people and telling them what looks good and it makes them comfortable and open up. I’m doing a maternity session for a friend of mine, so I’m taking notes. I did her engagement photos last year so we will already know the drill and my vibe when shooting ❤🎉

I never comment on videos. Ever. But I HAVE to say THANK YOU. Your behind the scenes are the absolute most helpful and incredible content I've seen to help a photographer looking for better images out of their Engagement/Couple session. I've been photographing for about 8 years, and after watching this before a shoot the other day, I was amazing at how much it enhanced the: 1 - comfort of everyone 2 - the fun 3 - the natural-ness of the images 4 - the quality of my images. I will be using this awesome information for years to come. THANK YOU. You are awesome. Your work is incredible. Thank you

I kinda started giving up on photography because I didnt think I had it in me anymore. I have tried and tried and cant get these beautiful pictures due to editing but a big one posing. I LOVED how you explained to the couples how to pose and how easy it was to understand. I want to thank you for letting me come behind the scenes with you!
