Feel Awkward in Front of the Camera? You’re Definitely Not the Only One



Most couples don’t jump at the idea of being in front of a camera.

And honestly? That makes sense. It can feel weird, especially if you’ve never done it before. You’re not sure how to stand, where to look, or what you’re even supposed to do with your hands.


The good news? That’s normal.

The better news? That’s not your problem to solve — it’s mine.



You’re Not Supposed to Know What to Do


As a photographer in Lafayette, LA and Baton Rouge, I’ve worked with plenty of couples who start out saying the same thing:

“We’re not photogenic.”

“We’re awkward.”

“We don’t know how to pose.”

The truth is, most people feel that way — and it’s usually gone within 10 minutes of starting a session. My job isn’t just to take photos — it’s to make sure you feel comfortable while I do it.

I’ll give you simple direction, keep things moving, and make sure nothing feels forced or overdone.



Engagements, Weddings, and Everything in Between


Whether you’re booking engagement photos, planning a wedding, or just want to document this chapter of life together, it doesn’t have to be a huge production. You don’t need to wait for a major milestone to have photos that actually represent who you are as a couple.

If you’re looking for a wedding photographer in Lafayette, Baton Rouge, or anywhere in Louisiana, I keep things straightforward and stress-free. Real moments, no fake stuff.



Here’s What Helps Before a Shoot


  • Wear something you feel good in. No need to overthink it. Stick with clothes that fit well and feel like your style.
  • Don’t stress about posing. I’ll guide you — no awkward prom-style setups.
  • Just focus on each other. This isn’t about performing for the camera. The best shots come from real interaction.



You Don’t Have to Be "Good at Photos" to Get Good Photos


I’ve said it before: it's not your job to be photogenic — it's my job to make you look and feel your best. That’s what I do.

Whether we’re shooting downtown, out in the country, or at your wedding venue, I’ll handle the technical side so you can focus on just being yourselves.

So if you're searching for a couples photographer, need engagement photos, or want a reliable wedding photographer in Louisiana, I’ve got you.

Bottom Line


You don’t have to have it all figured out before showing up for your session. Most people don’t. If you bring your partner and show up as yourselves, I’ll take care of the rest. And yeah — you’ll probably end up having a better time than you expected.
