Couple Tips for Shoots: Top 5 Tips to Feel at Ease in Front of the Camera
Have you ever felt awkward or uncomfortable when facing the camera? You're not alone! Many people feel this way, especially during important occasions like weddings or professional photoshoots. Here at Ezzo Studio, we believe that every photo session should be a fun and enjoyable experience. That's why we've compiled a list of top tips to help you feel at ease in front of the camera.
1. Know Your Best Angles
Before the photoshoot, spend some time in front of the mirror to find out which angles and poses work best for you. This will help you understand how to position yourself during the shoot and make you feel more confident.
2. Trust Your Photographer
Remember, your photographer is there to help you look your best. Trust their guidance and direction during the shoot. They know how to capture the best lighting, angles, and moments.
3. Be Authentic
One of the best ways to feel comfortable is to be yourself. Don't try to mimic others' poses or expressions. Instead, let your personality shine through. Authenticity always translates well on camera.
4. Practice Relaxation Techniques
Feeling tense? Practice some deep breathing exercises to relax your body and mind. This can help you feel more at ease and look more natural in your photos.
5. Have Fun
Most importantly, have fun! Don't take it too seriously. Enjoy the process, laugh, and let loose. The best photos are often those where people are genuinely having a good time.
We hope these tips will help you feel more comfortable and confident in front of the camera. Remember, every photo is a memory – make it a good one!

Choosing the Perfect Location for Your Engagement Shoot
Choosing the perfect location for your engagement shoot can feel like a daunting task, but it doesn't have to be. We believe that every love story is unique and should be captured in a way that reflects your individual style and story, this is what makes Ezzo Studios special. Here are some tips to help you select the best backdrop for your engagement photos.
Consider Your Shared Interests
The first step in choosing the perfect engagement shoot location is to consider your shared interests as a couple. Do you love hiking in the beautiful Michigan outdoors? Perhaps a forest or state park could serve as the ideal setting. Are you more of city-dwellers who love the hustle and bustle of Detroit? A downtown setting with urban architecture might be perfect.
Maria and DJ’s love of nature brought us to the Romeo Lavander Farm for beautiful shots with the flowers (not just Lavander).
Think About the Aesthetics
When considering a location, think about the aesthetic you want for your photos. For a more romantic and timeless look, you might consider a location with lush greenery or a beautiful garden. For a more modern and edgy look, an industrial setting or cityscape could be ideal. Remember, the location should complement, not distract from, the love between you two.
Caitlyn and Chad suggested an urban setting and Wayne State’s campus in Detroit was a great choice to work with many modern/contemporary facades in their shoot.
Plan for the Michigan Weather
Michigan’s weather can be unpredictable. When planning your engagement shoot, consider the season and how it might impact your chosen location. Remember, there's beauty in every season - the blooming flowers of spring, the vibrant greenery of summer, the fiery colors of fall, and the snowy landscapes of winter can all make for stunning backdrops.
It was cold outside for Heather and Max’s session and what better way than to do a shoot of them in Cannelle Detroit, perfect spot for a coffee date by the way!
Accessibility and Convenience
While a remote waterfall might make for stunning photos, it's also important to consider accessibility and convenience. If you or your partner are uncomfortable or stressed about reaching the location, it can show in your photos. Consider locations that are easy to reach and where you can feel relaxed and at ease.
Taylor and Johnny came prepared and brought a whole picnic setup for their engagement shoot. One of our cutest shoots so far!
