How do I pose?

Striking a pose is often something clients struggle with. Our preference is not to do this at all. Fluid movements are more effective in terms of developing a natural look. We find it is best when we have you move around into natural positions or against objects and find a comfortable rhythm. Most people tend to relax and enjoy the process when we use this method. We are looking for a candid shot at the moment with a natural appearance. For this reason, we take many photos to increase the odds of that special moment.

Do keep in mind if you have a particular pose you want to try we are all for working those in. We like to work with clients who know what they want. Often for power poses we see the arms crossed or perspectives from below elevating the subject in what is often referred to as a “hero” pose. Alternatively, we can take one from above for a different perspective.

With animals, we prefer to get down to their level giving the pictures an eye-level view not often seen. These photos tend to come out really well. We want your photos to be uniquely you and the more natural they are the better. For this reason, we avoid staying in one position and keep engaging in different ways to find a special way of looking at the subject.

Either way, we approach it our goal is to have you relax and enjoy the process. Whether we are going for a serious-looking portrait or a fun action shot, the process should always be pleasant process with an amazing outcome.
