The best guide you never asked for on how I pose my couples - during engagement photosessions or just-because.

When Jill reached out after finding me from a mutual friend, she was so excited to plan something that would surprise her girlfriend while also making sure she could make it an experience she would love. When the time came for us meet downtown at the top of Church Street in Burlington, we were both in for a surprise.

Can I share too many images of engagement sessions on Lake Champlain? No. No I can’t. Whenever I have the chance to combine my love for the waterfront in Burlington with taking bright and golden engagement photos with awesome couples, you best believe I’m one happy chica.

Here’s the scenario: after a ton of research, you’ve booked your dream wedding photographer, picked a date for your engagement photo session, maybe even have a great location in mind. The one thing you still don’t know - how the heck are you ever gonna look good for those photos!?

This summer engagement session was the stuff of my dreams - soft cloud cover, golden hour lighting over Lake Champlain, and two incredibly wonderful people to photograph it all with.

After we had a picked a date for a couple’s photo session in early May, Arlo secretly emailed me to tell me he was planning on proposing to Anne during the session.
