No, you don't, and for sure I will help! Oftentimes the idea of posing has us thinking of the stiff, awkward photos we sometimes see as a result of a studio set-up. There is a saying in the photography industry that really resonates with me and guides my photography philosophy. When it comes to perfection, I will always jeopardize the perfection of posing in order to achieve authentic emotions in the image. I always take care to make sure that the lighting is flattering to you and your family first. Then, I will position you so that you feel comfortable and can move freely while still presenting your perfect self. After this is the part that comes naturally for you and your family - the emotions. These are unique to you and are what happens spontaneously when you interact with your loved ones. The result is a non-posed image with natural emotions and authentic smiles.
