“I’m so ugly and awkward in photos!” “I never know what to do with my hands!” “I’m just not photogenic!”
If I had a dollar for every time someone told me one of these things before their session, I’d be rich! 😂
Here’s something I wish more people understood: Knowing how to pose your clients is one of the most important skills a photographer can have!
Every person who steps in front of my camera is different, and that’s exactly why I don’t pose everyone the same way!
I wouldn’t pose a 6-foot-tall woman the same way I’d pose someone who’s 5 feet tall. Some people have broader shoulders, some have narrower frames, some have curves they want to accentuate, and others have features they’d prefer to minimize. Even the smallest adjustments to your shoulders, chin, arms, or posture can make a HUGE difference in how a photograph turns out!
There is no one-size-fits-all approach to posing!
Anyone can pick up a camera and click a button, but understanding how to use posing, angles, and lighting to flatter your subject is what truly makes a difference.
And please know that you do NOT need to know how to pose yourself before your session. That’s what you’re hiring me for! 🫶🏼
I’ll guide you through everything so you can feel comfortable, confident, and beautiful in front of my camera.
Because at the end of the day, it’s not your job to be photogenic. It’s my job to know how to photograph you. 💕
