Natalie asked if taking couples photos in her kitchen would work and my immediate answer was "Yes!" I could not get to their home fast enough, I am always down for a fun and unique way to make photos memorable and this was definitely going to be memorable! Scott and Natalie wanted to use their kitchen for a romantic and intimate location to take anniversary photos. This was so personal and created images that showed off their fun-loving sides with a bit of adventure sprinkled in while also highlighting a deep connection.
Embracing the Everyday
The kitchen is often the heart of a home, filled with love, laughter, and countless memories. By choosing this familiar setting, Natalie and Scott wanted their anniversary session to feel genuine and relatable. We moved around their kitchen, trying playful poses like sitting on the counter, sharing a sweet kiss, and of course dancing. Each moment reflected their love story. A kitchen may not be the typical backdrop for a photo shoot, but it can be a canvas for authentic, heartfelt moments.

Intimacy in the Details
Focusing on small details—like a gentle touch or shared laughter—allowed me to take photos that showcased their affection in ways traditional portraits can't. One image shows Natalie playfully embracing Scott from behind while she sits on the counter, the fruit basket in the foreground gives the feeling of looking in on their candid moment together. These images do more than depict a couple; they tell a story rooted in love, friendship, and adventure. This approach works beautifully for adventurous couples who want their photos to reflect their journey, and not just generic poses.
The Joy of Spontaneity
Some of the best moments happen when you relax and enjoy the moment. This is why I always try to offer a good mix of direction posing my couples while also using prompts to bring out genuine reactions from people. Our session was filled with laughter and spontaneous interactions! These playful moments highlighted the fun atmosphere of Scott and Natalie's relationship, resulting in vibrant images that captured their playful spirit. This energy is precisely what adventurous couples often desire: a true celebration of love that resonates with their personalities.
