Feeling Awkward in Front of the Camera? 5 Posing Tips for Natural Senior Photos

Spoiler alert: almost every senior I work with starts by saying “I’m so awkward in photos.” And yet—every gallery turns out so good. Why? Because we focus on natural, movement-based posing that actually feels good.

Here are 5 quick posing tips to help you relax:

1. Move often. Walking, twirling, adjusting your hair—movement = magic.

2. Laugh at nothing. Fake laughing turns into real laughing pretty fast.

3. Breathe. Inhale, exhale, loosen up. You don’t have to hold a stiff pose.

4. Hands matter. Play with your hair, grab your jacket, hold your skirt—it gives your hands a job.

5. Trust me. I’ll guide you every step of the way (and yes, I’ll tell you when something looks weird).

Still unsure, I can help!
