What to Expect During Your Session with Briann Rivet Photography
Booking a photography session should feel exciting, not stressful. Whether it’s your engagement, senior portraits, maternity, or family photos, my goal is to make the experience feel natural, fun, and true to your story. Here’s a little peek at what you can expect when we work together.
A Cinematic, Storytelling Approach
My style is rooted in capturing the in-between moments that tell your story best. Instead of stiff, traditional posing, I use prompts and movement to create images that feel authentic. Think of walking hand-in-hand, laughing together, or twirling in the sunlight. These moments not only look beautiful, but they also help you relax and actually enjoy your time in front of the camera.
No Experience Needed
Worried you’ve never done a photoshoot before? Don’t be. Most of my clients start out the same way—unsure of what to do with their hands or how to pose. That’s where I come in! I’ll guide you through every step, from prompts during the shoot to making sure you feel comfortable the entire time.
Before Your Session
I’ll make sure you have everything you need to feel confident heading into your session. This includes:
Location Guidance
Together, we’ll pick the perfect spot—whether it’s golden-hour fields in Houma, a downtown backdrop in Thibodaux, or a cozy indoor studio vibe.
Outfit Tip
I’ll send over suggestions and ideas so your outfits complement each other and photograph beautifully.
Session Prep
From where to meet, to what to bring, I’ll keep you in the loop so there’s no confusion on the day of your shoot.
During Your Session
Expect to laugh, move, and have fun. I’ll provide prompts to get you interacting naturally, and I’ll always give you direction so you never feel lost in front of the camera. My job is to make sure the process feels effortless, and your only job is to show up ready to enjoy yourself.
After Your Session
I know waiting for photos can feel like forever, so I make sure to keep my turnaround time quick. You can expect your full gallery of edited images within 2–3 weeks. I deliver all sessions through a private online gallery, making it easy to download, share, and print your favorites.
Why This Matters
Your photos aren’t just pictures—they’re memories you’ll look back on for years to come. By choosing a cinematic and storytelling approach, you’ll have a gallery that feels true to you, filled with candid smiles, soft glances, and real connection.
