There’s something undeniably magical about a Blue Hour session—the way the fading sunlight casts a dreamy glow, the soft hues of twilight wrapping everything in an intimate embrace. Bekah and Cliff’s recent couple’s session at Aliante Nature Discovery Park in Las Vegas was a perfect example of how story-driven photography creates timeless and heartfelt moments.
Capturing Playful, Authentic Love
Bekah and Cliff are the kind of couple whose love radiates through every glance and shared laugh. From the beginning, I knew this wouldn’t be a session filled with stiff, structured poses. Instead, I took a relaxed, interactive approach, allowing their natural chemistry to shine.
Rather than directing every movement, I used open-ended prompts like “Sit together however feels natural.” This simple suggestion led them to instinctively fall into a comfortable embrace, capturing their genuine connection. To spark even more emotion, I added playful cues like “Hug each other like you’ve been apart for a month.” The result? Pure, unscripted joy and warmth that told their love story effortlessly.
Thoughtful Details & A Nostalgic Feel in Story-Driven Photos
Props have a way of adding depth and personal significance to a session. For Bekah and Cliff, we incorporated a picnic blanket, a vintage picnic basket, a film camera, and an old book—all elements that reflected their personalities and interests.
One of the standout moments was when they lay under a tree, flipping through the pages of a well-loved book. As they read together, the world seemed to slow down, and I captured the authentic intimacy of a couple completely immersed in each other’s presence. These little touches transformed their session from simple portraits to a visual story—one filled with nostalgia, romance, and genuine connection.
A Tailored Photography Experience
Every couple I work with has a unique love story, and my goal is to tailor each session to reflect that. With Bekah and Cliff, it was all about embracing their playful, easygoing energy while incorporating elements that felt personal to them. Beyond the session itself, I love adding thoughtful details to make the experience even more special.
A few days after their session, I sent them a small gift: a couple of Polaroid prints from their shoot along with a handwritten note. Bekah’s response was the sweetest: “Just got your letter in the mail! You’re too sweet ❤️.” Moments like this remind me why I love what I do—not just capturing photos but creating memories that couples will cherish forever.
