Alvina & Ben’s sweet Themed E-Session

Here’s another cute Themed E-session done at my French Couture Loft. This year I’ve been getting lots of couples booking for our Themed E-Session. I love planning for these type of shoots. It is a lot of work, but I love coming up with different concepts that tell a unique story/style of each couple. Alvina & Ben met at their work place, so for their session I thought it would be interesting to bring that element into their shoot. Also Alvina loves sweets and cakes, and their work place is always filled with candies and toys. I thought it’s perfect to set up a table full of candies, cakes, and computer! Alvina and I also did some of collaboration on ideas and preparing props. They also included their beloved dog Brownie in the shoot. Here’s some photos from the session!
