Do you ever wonder why professional photos make you look so good? It’s easy to assume we are Photoshopping the heck out of you after the session. While I am happy to refine your photos with editing, you looking so great comes down to a few other (more important things) before I even hit the shutter: I find the best light to mold around you, and even more importantly I help you into poses which accentuate your best assets.
A lot of these posing principles can even be applied to your personal snapshots!
1. Turn shoulders and hips to an angle, never flat to the camera.
When you’re square to the camera, you are the broadest you can possibly be. By turning your shoulders and hips at an angle (between 45 degrees away from the camera and completely perpendicular to the camera), you are thinning your shape as well as creating a more visually interesting shape. One note, if you turn your hips completely perpendicular to the camera (where the camera can only see the side of one hip), turn your shoulders a little back to the camera (but still not flat to the camera).

I know a few of you have been waiting patiently for a glance at some of this session, so here’s a quick look at the highlights. Hay, cows, and lots of kissing….*whistles*
By the way, how cute are they?!?
Full post coming in the next week or so, after some sneak peeks at the dance session (which is coming very soon too!)

Well, hellllloooo, everybooody! This has been an exhausting, but exciting weekend for me. I had the joy of going to the Fort Worth Water Gardens with a talented lyrical/modern dancer, Holly, on Saturday! First, what a COOL location! Second, what a beautiful woman and dancer Holly is!
Then, I packed up some food and drinks plus all of my equipment and a few little extra things for a road trip to Chilton, a town outside of Waco for an engagement session with Chelsea and Chris. Besides being fun and laidback people, Chelsea and Chris live on a 400 acre farm…complete with cows! Chris was awesome enough to bail some hay in time for our session!
You’re all in for a treat when I can post these sessions. Stay tuned! Sneak peeks this week and full entries for each session in the coming weeks.
Oh, my last card finished uploading. Time to start working on the files! Until next time…
