10 tips to posing
    • Stand or sit tall by rolling your shoulders back and down to elongate your spine and to project confidence.

    • Instead of facing the camera straight on, rotate your body to add dimension and prevent a flat, straight-on look.

    • When standing, place your weight on your back leg (the one farthest from the camera) for a slimming effect.

    • Rest your hands naturally at your sides, on your waist, or in a pocket. Keep your fingers soft and relaxed. Add interest by holding a prop, placing your hands with intention or by creating a connection. Avoid pressing your arms tightly against your body.

    • A slight gap between your arms and body helps create a slimmer shape and makes you look more dynamic.

    • Cross your feet at the ankles or gently stagger your step. Avoid standing with feet too far apart or too close together, aim for a natural, balanced stance.

    • Extend your face forward and angle your chin slightly downward to accentuate your jawline and minimize the appearance of a double chin. Take a breath and exhale to soften your expression to create a calm, relaxed look.

    • Create a physical connection in a group or with your partner by holding hands, leaning in, or touching arms.

    • Make eye contact with the camera, your partner, family, or pet, or glance away from the camera for a more candid and thoughtful look. Lower your gaze to create a quiet, reflective moment.

    • When you feel confident and at ease, it shows. Be yourself, always have fun and enjoy the moment.
