How to Trick Your Husband, or Partner into Loving a Photoshoot (Sort of)

So, you’re trying to book a family, or couples photoshoot, but your partner would rather watch paint dry? You are NOT alone.

Here’s how to convince them it’s actually a great idea:

1. Bribery Works (No Shame Here)

✔️ Their favorite dinner? Done.
✔️ Full control of the TV remote for a week? Easy.
✔️ “Just one photoshoot, and I won’t make you take selfies for a MONTH.” (We both know that’s a lie, but they don’t need to.)
✔️ Or, you know… nighttime favours? Not saying you actually have to.

2. Assure Them It Won’t Be Awkward

No stiff poses, no fake smiles—I’ll guide them through fun, natural prompts (think laughing, moving, and NOT standing there like a deer in headlights).

3. The “One & Done” Promise

Remind them this is a one-time thing… until they see how good they look and start planning the next one. 😉

At the end of the day, it’s just about capturing you two being you. No stress, no weird poses—just some fun together. You got this!

4. Not Comfortable Going Out? No Problem!

If your partner is cringing at the thought of being out in public, that’s totally cool. We can keep it private with an intimate session at home! No one will see the photos except for your family, friends… and, you know, everyone on social media. 😅 But hey, you’ll be comfortable, and that’s what matters.

5. “It’s Not Worth the Money” – YES, IT IS!

I get it—spending on a photoshoot can feel like a splurge. But hey, you're only getting older, so might as well look this good while you can! These photos will be memories you’ll cherish forever. And don’t worry, we can break it up into instalments. So,—it's totally worth it!

6. You’ll Be Glad You Did It

At the end of the day, a photoshoot is about capturing real moments between you two. No pressure, no stiff poses—just fun, laughter, and memories. And when you look at the photos later, your partner will be thinking, “Okay, that was actually awesome.” I promise!

You got this—let’s make it happen!
