Love is as diverse as the people who experience it. Whether they’re finding it in the intimate moments between them or the shared bonds of a polyamorous network, every love story deserves to be told with authenticity and care. As a photographer, it’s not just about capturing faces; it’s about reflecting the depth of relationships, the nuance of human connection, and the celebration of love in all its forms.
I invite you to read on as I dive into various approaches to photographing both monogamous couples and polyamorous relationships—whether in the controlled environment of the studio or the natural world outside.
Monogamous Couples
Monogamous couples often bring a sense of closeness that is deeply personal. These relationships focus on the intimacy between two individuals, whether they are newly in love or have shared years together. For me, photographing monogamous couples is an opportunity to capture the quiet, tender moments that reflect the bond they share.
Studio Photography:
In the studio, I can control the lighting, the backdrop, and the mood. This setting allows for a space that feels intimate and private—a place where couples can truly be themselves without distractions. The studio provides the perfect setting for creative shots, whether it’s dramatic lighting that plays with shadows, or soft, natural light that brings out the warmth of a couple’s connection.
Focusing on posing, body language, and emotional expression—capturing not just the physical closeness, but the energy and love between the couple. I aim to document those little, seemingly insignificant moments—the way they smile at each other, how their hands meet, the laugh that escapes during a candid moment. These elements are what make a photo special.
Outdoor Photography:
When taking a couples outdoors, the environment often serves as an extension of their relationship. Whether it’s a walk through a city park, a secluded forest, or a quiet beach at sunset, the location plays a key role in shaping the story of their connection. Nature provides a breathtaking backdrop that can be used to reflect the beauty of a relationship.

Outdoor shoots often feel more organic, spontaneous, and relaxed, allowing the couple to interact freely with each other and the environment. The beauty of natural light—especially during the golden hour—adds a softness and warmth that’s hard to replicate in a studio. The surroundings encourage couples to engage with each other more openly, and it’s lovely capturing those real moments of laughter, contemplation, and connection.
Celebrating Polyamorous Relationships:
Polyamory is a beautiful relationship dynamic that often includes multiple partners who share emotional and romantic connections with one another. The beauty of photographing polyamorous couples lies in the opportunity to explore love from a broader lens. Polyamory can encapsulate many different kinds of connections, and I am dedicated to create a space where all forms of love are celebrated and honored.
Studio Photography for Polyamorous Groups:
When photographing polyamorous people in the studio, the key is to honor each person’s individual relationship dynamics while capturing the shared energy between all parties. With multiple people involved, it’s important to balance the representation of each person’s connection to one another. Whether it’s a trio, a larger polycule, or more, I aim to create a harmonious blend of individual personalities, emotions, and interactions.
I may work with different lighting techniques to create different atmospheres within the same space, ensuring that each connection is depicted with clarity and beauty. This requires a thoughtful approach to posing and positioning, as I carefully arrange the individuals in a way that feels natural while also highlighting the various relationships within the group.

The process can be challenging, but incredibly rewarding. I make sure everyone feels seen, valued, and comfortable in front of the camera, so that the result reflects the depth of their shared experiences and bonds.
Outdoor Photography for Polyamorous Folks:
Taking polyamorous groups outdoors can be especially powerful. Just like in monogamous relationships, outdoor settings provide a space where people can express themselves in a way that feels natural and less confined. Whether it’s a large group in a sprawling meadow or a couple of people sitting on a park bench, outdoor environments allow for a more fluid, organic portrayal of relationships.
I find that natural settings often encourage even deeper connections between individuals, whether they’re sharing a quiet moment or celebrating something unique in their relationship. These moments are spontaneous, authentic, and serve to tell a story of interconnectedness that might otherwise go unnoticed in the rush of daily life.
Respect and Sensitivity:
Regardless of whether I am photographing monogamous or polyamorous individuals, respect for everyone’s boundaries, privacy, and personal narratives is my top priority. Each person I photograph is unique, and each relationship dynamic comes with its own nuances. The trust placed in me to document such intimate moments is something I do not take lightly. Creating a safe space where people feel heard and understood is integral to the process.
Celebrating Love In All Its Forms
I am deeply passionate about telling the stories of all kinds of love. Whether you are part of a monogamous couple or part of a larger polyamorous network, I am committed to creating beautiful, heartfelt portraits that celebrate the connections you share with your partners. I seek to capture the authenticity, complexity, and depth of your love story—whether in the studio, in nature, or in any space that allows you to be truly yourself.
Love is diverse. It’s personal. And it deserves to be celebrated. If you’re ready to have your relationship captured in a way that reflects its true essence, let’s connect and start telling your story through my lens. It would be my honor to be trusted with capturing your love!
