Booking a photo session can feel exciting… and maybe a little nerve-wracking.
If you’ve never had professional photos taken before (or if it’s been a while), you might be wondering:
What do I do with my hands?
Will it feel awkward?
What if I’m not “photogenic”?
If you’re looking for a Spokane photographer and feeling a little unsure about what the experience will actually be like, this guide is for you.
My goal is simple: I want you to leave your session feeling confident, comfortable, and genuinely excited about your photos.
Here’s exactly what you can expect.
Before Your Session: Planning & Personalizing
Every photo session in Spokane is different because every person is different.
Before we ever step in front of the camera, we’ll talk through:
- Your vision
- The vibe you’re drawn to (moody, bright, cozy, adventurous)
- Outfit ideas
- Location preferences
- Any preferences or concerns you would like me to be mindful of
Whether you’re planning senior photos in Spokane, engagement photos, or a lifestyle session, I guide you through the details so you don’t feel overwhelmed.
You don’t need to have everything figured out. That’s my job.
During the Session: Relaxed, Natural, and Guided
You will not be left standing there wondering what to do.
Most of my clients say the same thing at the start:
“I’m awkward in photos.”
And almost every single one says at the end:
“That was actually so fun.”
Here’s why.
Instead of stiff posing, I use prompts and movement. I’ll guide you gently: where to stand, how to shift your weight, when to laugh, when to lean in. But it will never feel robotic.
If you’re booking senior photos in Spokane, we’ll incorporate pieces of your personality: favorite spots, hobbies, meaningful details.
If you’re a couple booking engagement photos in Spokane, we’ll focus on connection. Movement. Real interaction.
You don’t need modeling experience.
You just need to show up as yourself.
The Spokane Locations
We Will Use
One of the best parts of being a Spokane photographer is the variety this city offers.
From golden hour fields and forested trails to downtown brick walls and lakeside views, we can create a setting that reflects your story.
And if you’re not sure where to go? I have suggestions ready.
Your location will complement your outfits and your personality, not overpower them.
After Your Session: The Exciting Part
After your session, I carefully edit your gallery with intention.
My editing style is natural light, dreamy tones, and balanced warmth - a mix between moody and bright. I want your images to feel timeless, not trendy.
When your gallery is delivered, my hope is that you don’t just see “pretty pictures.”
I want you to feel that moment again.
The laughter.
The nerves before the proposal.
The pride of graduating.
The quiet confidence you didn’t realize you carried.
You Don’t Have to Be “Photogenic”
You don’t have to know your angles.
You don’t have to practice poses.
You don’t have to be extroverted.
Your job is to show up.
My job is to guide, create, and capture you as you truly are.
If you’re searching for a Spokane senior/graduate photographer, engagement photographer, or lifestyle photographer; I would love to help you feel confident in front of the camera and leave with images that feel deeply you.
