With over 250 wedding, engagement & portrait sessions I have worked with a tremendous variety of clients.
...and I can tell you that the "success" of the session and how HAPPY the clients were, depending MOSTLY on how well the posing went...
Good posing makes clients FEEL good about themselves and feel connected to each other.
Bad posing feels stiff & awkward and the photos look it too.
I realized that the success of my sessions relied heavily on my ability to pose my clients in a way that felt natural and true to them
.
The truth is, consistent great posing doesn't happen by chance. And in fact, I struggled with natural posing for a long time because unless you have someone there to help you, you just don't know what to do different.
Sadly, I wasted the first couple of years snapping photos of my clients that I thought was artistic and creative and cool - but the poses were nothing short of awful. You can see some of those photos below - it's painful to look at now!
Thankfully, I finally figured out some tricks to natural posing that made my clients look and feel amazing which turned into more word of mouth and rave reviews. I am not sharing these secrets with you!
I developed a posing flow with several tried and true, go-to core poses that are easy to remember and implement with any couple

Lucky for you, this posing field guide will walk you through it & make great posing easier than ever before.
