Location!
Our favorite park - Round Rock Memorial Park has a creek,
waterfall, trees, grass, rocks, funky walls, picnic tables, railroad tracks,
softball field, ducks and walking trails. The light is terrific and the
possibilities are endless. 
Comfort counts
We believe that you should be comfortable! You should be able to “play” in your clothes meaning able to sit on grass, rocks, railroad tracks, dip and kiss and even ride piggy back. If you want to wear high heels…great, but bring flip flops or other flat shoe for walking to the various locations.

Clothes
Your engagement session should “feel” like you! Do you usually wear boots and jeans? Do you live in a sundress and sandals? Do you always wear a bow tie? Go with what is natural to you.
Makeup and nails
The bling is the thing…. And we will photograph your hands. You don’t have to get your nails professionally done, but we don’t want to capture chippie nail polish. Take a few minutes to care for your hands. If you are doing your own makeup, wear a matte foundation since it photographs best and avoid glitter in powder and eye shadows.

Watch the weather—and the clock
Our favorite time to photograph is right before sunset. Sunlight is best during sunset and we refer to it as "photographer's golden happy hour.” Shooting midday is fine if there is not much sunlight. A lot of clients mistakenly assume that lots of sun is good, but in fact it's not. Often the light is too harsh during sunny afternoons and can cast unflattering shadows on your face. Clouds and an overcast day often provide the most vibrate colors.
Show your love for each other
Have fun with each other. Engagement sessions should really be seen as a fun day out with your fiancĂ©, except with us there to capture the moment. Of course we will pose you, but be natural and don’t be afraid to show affection and laugh. Don’t stress about this session!
Pets, props and hobbies
Play
softball together, love to read, bike, hike or play chess? You name it… we can
incorporate your hobby. Make your shoot personal to you as a couple. Is your
pup important to you? We are dog friendly and love to add in your furry family
member. Have a sign or prop to use? Bring it!
