Relax & Breathe:

Don’t hold your breath! Sometimes we do it subconsciously when we’re nervous or unsure of ourselves. Take a deep breath, relax your shoulders, and be yourself.

Tall Posture

Be sure to stand up straight with your shoulders back and chest up. Having good posture makes you look much more confident on camera!

Movement:

You do NOT have to stand completely still, I actually discourage stillness! Feel free to shift your weight, adjust your clothing/hair, change up your arms, etc.

Personality:

 Don't hold back! Feel free to laugh, vibe to some music, crack a joke, whatever you gotta do to FEEL & BE YOURSELF.

Communicate:

If a pose feels awkward or uncomfortable, let me know. I’ll help guide you into something that feels right.

Have Fun & Trust the Process:

I'll let you know when adjustments are needed, or if a pose needs changed up. Candid energy creates super authentic, beautiful images! So relax, trsut the process, and try to have fun.
