Stranger Sessions
Thank you so much for your interest in a Stranger Session!
What is a stranger session?
Think of a blind date, setup by a photographer. Stranger sessions are a fun and creative blind date to step outside of your comfort zone! This is a fun, creative photoshoot where two people who have never met are paired together for a couples-style session. The goal isn't to force a love story - it's to capture real reactions, genuine connection, and a unique experience you'll never forget. Whether you leave with a new friend, a funny story, or something more, I promise to make it a fun experience! Because I receive a large number of applications, I carefully review each one and pair people based on compatibility, location, and the information provided in your application.
