Tip on how to look more relaxed for your headshot session #2.

Engage with your photographer. You should already have an idea of what your photographer is like prior to your session.

However, it can also help to ask them a few questions before your session begins to help you feel even more comfortable with them.

This is one of the reasons I offer a free 15 minute consultation, so you can get a sense of who I am. Plus I'm always happy to answer any questions you may have. Just drop me a DM, it's that easy.

Here's a tip to Look More Relaxed in your Headshots

Relax before your shoot. No duh right? But seriously; be more relaxed, look more relaxed. Whether you want to run a bath or put on your favorite playlist, do something before your headshot session that will put you in the right headspace.

You can even ask your photographer whether you can bring your playlist along with you. Remember, my sessions are designed to be fun and to run at a brisk clip to keep you engaged and avoid the deer vs. headlights look!

I know, I know, Thanksgiving was a few days ago.
Hahaha! But I don't care (sorry, not sorry); I'm going to go ahead and
post this anyway. Thankfulness isn't relegated only to one day, right?

Today, I'm feeling very grateful to all of my past
clients: the ones who have trusted me enough to
photograph them, and especially the ones who have
sent their friends my way through referrals. As a small
business, this is something I will always be thankful for.

I am also feeling thankful today for all of the NEW
clients I've connected with, who have purchased my
Cyber Monday promotion!!!
I can't wait to meet you all, and I'm glad you're as
excited about this deal as I am!

Ok, enough sappiness for today. But before I go, let
me share a quote that basically says exactly what I'm
feeling right now: “I awoke this morning with devout
thanksgiving for my friends, the old and the new.” -
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Thanks, friends. Sending love and thankful vibes to
you all today.

I hope you all had an amazing Thanksgiving!

As a photographer, I can think of very few things that are better than receiving a review from a happy client. This is one that I received recently, and it absolutely made my day! I thought it was just too good not to share.
Ashton Akridge came in for her photo session
recently, and was bubbly and friendly, but also a little nervous.

Here's what she said about the experience: "It was such a pleasure to work with Harry Pocius! He is not only professional and kind, but incredibly fun to work with as well. I am in love with my new headshots and think they capture me perfectly. I highly recommend Harry Pocius for headshots and branding. Completely wonderful experience!"

Thank you, Ashton, for sharing about
your experience! I am so glad you enjoyed it.

Yesterday I shared about a personal story where I felt a little nervous, but didn't let those fears hold me back.
Well, after posting, I stumbled across this quote, and it just resonated with me.

Today is Thanksgiving, and I may be taking a little
social media break to spend time with my loved ones, but I want you to know that I'm going to be back Tomorrow.

And... speaking of of tomorrow which is Black Friday...
I know most people will still be happily in a turkey coma so I am launching a HUGE sale on CYBER MONDAY to my exclusive email list! If you're not on my list, send me a DM!
I am SO freaking excited about this sale, and can't wait to share all the details with you.

Have you ever felt scared about doing something new? Sometimes the scared feeling is just a little
uncomfortable, and it's good to push through it.
But it's still hard, right?

Recently, I felt really nervous about flying to Brazil. Not something exactly new for me, but I hadn't flown since the start of the pandemic. The idea of missing some test or form that would leave me stranded at the airport, or worse deny me entry once I arrived was terrifying! But I was accompanying my step father back plus I had some business that needed attending to there.

So I took a deep breath and made sure I went through all the emails for my flight at least three times to assure myself I had all the necessary forms and tests. Even then I had printed out one form that wasn't quite right. Luckily the email confirmation for it was enough. The flight went smoothly and I spent two weeks in Brazil without issue.

Funny, that felt a little vulnerable to share! I know that a lot of my clients may feel a little
nervous about coming in for a photo session with me, so I wanted to be honest and let you know
that some nerves are ok (and normal!)
Bottom line: I'm so glad I went for it, and didn't let my fears or hesitations hold me back. And that is
exactly what I hope for you.

Does this resonate with you? Or am I alone here? Raise your hand if you've ever done something
uncomfortable, but later were SO glad you did.

I'd like to share a recent review that gets to the heart of my headshot sessions, this one by Rudy De La Cruz

"So I was set up with Harry thru my fiancé's friend.
I was looking for new headshots, he was looking for clients. Great, our paths have been crossed. Ok. I've done this a few times and despite being a generally outgoing guy (duh actor) I have a pretty rough time "glamming" it up for still photography.

So suffice it to say, I wasn't THRILLED to go get my headshot taken for a couple hours. Add to that that I was having a bit of a long day and well, I wasn't in the right headspace for headshots... Then I met Harry. This man is running a business but he's doing it with so much heart and class. He made me feel COMFORTABLE, he made me feel at ease, and most importantly he made me feel like I was doing a good job.

Mind you HE IS THE ONE working! But he's engaging, funny and passionate. I didn't think we'd get the shot. Again I wasn't feeling great. We got the shot. And another one. And another one. Harry was listening to the great DJ Khalid or something because shot after shot we kept getting looks that I of all people was happy with (started asking myself if I really COULD be a model...short answer is not yet but Harry had me feeling like maybe I could!).

This guy is the real deal. Get your shots with him. I know I am for the next one! You're awesome Harry! Keep it up!"

If you're on my email list, you received an email from me
yesterday where I shared that I am totally awkward and a little cringey
when I step out from BEHIND the camera and get in
FRONT of it for my own photos.
So, for anyone who may feel a little less-than-confident
about rocking your photos, just know you're not alone.
ALSO, I put together my top 3 tips for how to actually
relax and enjoy your session!
Here they are:

1. First, champagne. Hah, just kidding, don't do it! But seriously, I
DO think it's important to find a way to relax before you
even get started in the session. Here's where I've got you covered! I will loosen you up and coach you into positions and expressions that will have you rocking your headshot session.

2. Next, I recommend that you only repeat positive
thoughts in your head, through the entire session.
Positive thoughts on the inside will definitely help show through and make you feel more confident than if you
were only worrying and saying negative things to yourself.

3. Shake it up. I won't let you feel like you're getting that 'deer in the headlights' look on your face, like you've been staring straight at my camera for far too long, I'll get you to move around, relax and start your expression over. This is normal and will happen a few times during your session. It's hard work looking great in front of a camera, but I'll get you there.

Above all, I want to be sure that you're feeling relaxed and enjoying the experience with me!

Hello there! It's been a while since I've introduced
myself, so I figured today is as good a day as any to
do just that!

My name is Harry, and I am SO grateful that I get to say my
job is being a photographer!
I have loved photography since I bought my first camera when I was
18. A fluke at first, I quickly became so passionate about it I was rarely
seen without a camera!

When I'm not working with my fabulous clients, you
can find me spending time with my wife and kids doing the fun stuff (and the not so fun stuff.
Thanks for following me here! I'm going to be posting a bit over the next few days: some tips, some
inspiration, and some really exciting news (coming
next week!) Stay tuned!
