The most romantic time of the year is here—Valentine’s Day! Whether you’re celebrating with your partner, your best friend, or simply indulging in some well-deserved self-love, this is the perfect moment to capture the magic of your connection with a couple portrait session.
At Odette Photo+Art, I believe that love—in all its forms—deserves to be documented beautifully. From sweet and playful to bold and passionate, couple portraits are a wonderful way to freeze a feeling in time. So, if you’re looking for creative, meaningful, and stylish couple portrait ideas, you’re in the right place.
1. Classic and Timeless: Black and White Portraits
There’s something deeply romantic about a classic black-and-white portrait. These images focus on expression, emotion, and connection—stripping away the distractions and letting your love shine through. Think soft lighting, close embraces, and quiet smiles. They never go out of style.
2. Lifestyle and Laid-Back at Home
One of my favorite ideas for couple portraits is capturing you in your element—at home, cuddled on the couch, dancing in the kitchen, or sipping coffee on the balcony. Lifestyle portraits bring a cozy, real-life charm that’s incredibly authentic and relaxed.
3. Golden Hour Magic
Sunset sessions are pure magic. The golden light adds warmth and intimacy to your photos. Whether it’s on the beach, in a park, or strolling down a quiet Coral Gables street, golden hour portraits radiate romance and softness.
Pro tip: bring a bottle of champagne to toast during the shoot!
4. Artistic and Editorial Vibes
Want something unique and bold? Let’s get creative. Think of dramatic lighting, playful styling, or even themed outfits that tell your story. If you’re the kind of couple who loves doing things a little differently, an editorial-style shoot is a great way to make your portraits stand out.
5. Celebrate Self-Love Too
You don’t need a partner to celebrate love. Valentine’s Day is also a great excuse to book a solo portrait session and celebrate the relationship you have with yourself. I always say: buy yourself the flowers, the chocolate, the wine—and get in front of the camera!
Let’s Make Magic Together
