Feeling BEAUTIFUL in Your Photos!
Hey There!
All women have the same brain to some extent, right? So, I know that it is second-nature to look at pictures of yourself and nit-pick what you don’t like or how you wished you looked.
It’s also so hard when you are comparing yourself to every Insta influencer! Women are good at talking themselves down… which might make it hard for you to want to get pictures taken of yourself. But don’t skip out on the opportunity!!
You and your family deserve to have pictures of YOU in every stage of life!

Sooo, what can you do to feel more comfortable, beautiful & CONFIDENT in front of the camera?
I’ve got 3 little bits of wisdom to share with you,
keep reading!
ONE. Get a new outfit and feel your best!
Let’s start with my favorite tip!
Every girl feels beautiful in a brand spankin’ new dress or outfit. You’ll smile BIGGER and feel more confident, I guarantee! Choose something that highlights your favorite features and is comfortable for you!
Color is important too – light neutral colors are going to be the best choice to give you a bright airy feel and make YOUR beauty the highlight of the pictures!

TWO. Get Ready EARLY!
Nothing is more stressful than running late. If you’re last minute trying to get everyone in the car and yelling and screaming before your session, that tension will carry through.
But if you are able to enjoy the time getting ready, and the anticipation of a fun night out, you’ll be able to let let loose, have fun and focus on just being who you are! If you are silly, be silly. If you are shy, don’t feel like you have to come out of your shell and be uncomfortable. Let your personality SHINE through the pictures.
The poses you settle on can be a huge part of showing off who you really are.
I’ll couch you through the whole session to help you feel comfortable.
THREE. Remember the PURPOSE of your photos!!
It is important, and humbling, to remember WHY you are taking the photos that you are.
If they are family pictures, the idea is to capture the stage that you’re in, along with the culture and dynamic of your little clan.
If they are engagements or pics with good girls friends, the focus should be the relationship that you have with them!
These are just a couple of examples, but the point is…you are going to look beautiful NO MATTER WHAT! You are beautiful and deserve to feel justified in thinking so.
