If you’ve ever said “I’m just awkward in front of the camera,” you’re not alone and respectfully, you’re also wrong. Most people aren’t awkward, they’re just overthinking it. Looking comfortable in your photos has less to do with “knowing how to pose” and more to do with relaxing, being present, and trusting the person behind the camera. So let’s talk about it.
One of the biggest mistakes people make is over-posing. When you’re too stiff, thinking too much about your arms or whether your smile is just right, it shows. That can make things feel a bit awkward. The truly great photos? They usually happen in the moments between the poses. I’ll help guide you, but I also love to see you move naturally. Adjust your jacket, share a laugh with your partner, fix your earring. Those little genuine movements help everything look more authentic and relaxed.
Yes, literally. Talk. Whisper something dumb in their ear. Reminisce about how y’all met. Say something spicy. When you interact, you forget there’s a camera around. That’s when I catch the real magic. The intimacy, the playfulness, the vibe; it’s all in the interaction, not the pose.
Hey, I’ve got this. I’m paying attention to your angles, your expressions, the lighting. If something seems off, I’ll take care of it. And if I tell you it looks good, it really does. Just relax, let go of trying to control how you look, and instead focus on how you’re feeling right now. That genuine energy is what really matters and what people will pick up on every time. Breathe. You don’t need to “perform,” you just need to be. Whether you’re naturally reserved or super affectionate, I want your photos to reflect your real personality.
You don’t need to “know what to do” in front of the camera. You just need to show up, be yourself, and trust the process. My job is to make you look and feel good. And I’m pretty damn good at my job—so relax, and let’s make some magic.
