It has taken me years to perfect posing my clients

It has taken me years to perfect posing my clients (in fact, I’m still not and won’t ever be perfect), but if I could give one piece of advice, it would be this:

✨ DIRECTION >>> POSING ✨

You want to give your clients direction rather than sticking them in poses. Something I’ve learned to do over time is notice how a couple interacts with one another, and ask them to repeat certain things they’ve done with just a little more direction. By that I mean in regards to lighting, shifting for a better background, bending a knee slightly, standing up a little taller, etc. These little adjustments can make a good photo great, and because you’re basing it off of a natural action your clients have already done, they will feel more comfortable and relaxed. Plus, their images will feel true to them.

These two were naturals and I asked them to do very basic movements over and over again, but I’m so glad they trusted me!

One of the very many sessions I’ve been working

One of the very many sessions I’ve been working on the past few weeks. Despite these images turning out gorgeous and how beautifully this mama to be is glowing, don’t let it fool you- we had just run from a snake. 😅

Thankful for all my clients for trusting me with their lives for the pic 🥴

Just running through to let y’all know that I ha

Just running through to let y’all know that I have a new vlog on my YouTube channel! I also reveal the dining area I have been teasing for over a month now. Hopefully I’ll be posting biweekly at least on my channel so you can see more of my day to day :)

Sessions like last night’s at Belle Isle fire me

Sessions like last night’s at Belle Isle fire me up. There’s always that one session- the first one in warmer weather. The first one with lush green leaves and a warm breeze. Ahhhh. Yes. And that car ride home with the windows down listening to The Paper Kites. IN 👏🏻 MY 👏🏻 ELEMENT 👏🏻

The secret’s out- we’re starting a podcast 😳
