Kassy + Scott: Stanford Graduate School Couple Session

A DANA POINT COUPLE’S SESSION

Kassy and Scott both got into grad school at Stanford and wanted to do a little announcement photo shoot. They recently bought a house in Dana Point, so it made sense to take photos in their backyard. Dana Point has some great locations, but one of my favorites in the Dana Point Harbor, specifically the Ocean Institute. The tide wasn’t too hide, so we were able to go down on the beach as well.

When it comes to posing, they really wanted to show off their shirts, but still be cute and cuddly. We had to get a little creative after we did the basic “stand there and smile” shots. Don’t be afraid to get in close, snuggle, and make each other laugh. Kassy kept moving, so we were able to get some natural, in the moment photos that also look somewhat posed.

After we snapped some photos with their Stanford shirts, they switched into another outfit for some anniversary photos and headshots. We were also able to go down on the sand and they even got into the water.
