My Favorite Prompts for Nashville Couples

Photos with your significant other can be nerve-wracking especially if you are worries about how to stand, what to do with your hands, what your smile looks like, etc. Don’t worry, that is what your favorite Nashville photographer, AKA me, is here for! 

Walk towards me and bump hips every couple of steps:

I always like to start my sessions with movement. Movement makes for less awkward just standing around photos when you are starting out nervous. To do this prompt, I start by guiding my couples to both be full facing me, hold hands in the middle and start walking towards me. Every couples of steps you will step into one another to bump hips. This produces some authentic laughter and smiles! 

Machine Gun Kisses:

This one is also a laugh inducer and requires my guys to just fully commit to the prompt and moment. For this, I direct my couples to be chest to chest. The guy will start on the girl’s forehead and give super fast kisses all over her forehead down to her chin/neck area. 

Dramatic Moment:

This is a more static pose. I ask my couples to fully face me and hold a hand in the middle. I typically then ask them to take a step apart and tell one couple to look left and one couple to look right. Another variation of this is to stay in this position apart and look in at one another. 

Pick Her Up and Spin Around:

This is really good for my playful couples. I will start with my girl facing me and my guy a couple steps behind her. My guy runs up from behind, picks her up and spins around in a circle

Drunk Walk:

This one always makes me laugh. I tell my couple to be in a stacked position (girl’s back to guy’s front). You will then reach out to hold hands and walk like you’re a little tipsy. I remind my couples it’s supposed to be a little chaotic
