No Idea How to Pose?


One of the biggest questions I hear before a couples photoshoot is: “But what are we supposed to do?”

The good news? You don't need to know how to pose!


While every couples session I photograph is different, I have a whole library of poses and prompts in my back pocket to help couples move, interact, and genuinely connect in front of the camera.

Here are 36 of my favorite go-to couples photography prompts:

💕 Movement & Playful Prompts

  • The Twirl
  • The Tipsy Walk
  • The Runaway
  • The Surprise Spin
  • The Blurry Run
  • The Just Keep Walking
  • The Follow You Anywhere
  • The Piggy Back
  • The Airplane

💋 Romantic Prompts

  • The Dip Kiss
  • The Hand Kiss
  • The Temple Kiss
  • The Forehead Kiss
  • The Elevator Kiss
  • The Chin-Up
  • The Foot Pop
  • The Movie Lift
  • The Titanic

🤍 Connection-Focused Prompts

  • The All Wrapped Up
  • The Got Your Back
  • The Lead the Way
  • The Back and Front
  • The Ring Around
  • The Take in the Scenery
  • The View Above
  • The Photographer

📸 Seated & Stationary Prompts

  • The Lay & Look Up
  • The Sit & Stair
  • The Sit & Stand
  • The Leg-Over Sit
  • The Stool Sit
  • The Wall Lean
  • The JC Penney
  • The Out of Focus
  • The Silhouette

These Are Prompts, Not Rules


The goal isn't to force every couple into the exact same poses. I adjust each prompt based on your personalities, your connection, your comfort level, and the location we're photographing in.


Sometimes the best photo happens in the few seconds after the "pose"—when you laugh, move closer, look at each other, or simply forget I'm holding a camera.

That's why I love using prompts instead of expecting couples to know how to pose themselves.


So save this for your next couples session… or just hire me so you don't have to remember any of these. 😉
