Natural Photos: What to Know

Great results come down to good light, the right location, and a relaxed approach to your natural photos.

Almost everyone feels a little awkward in front of a camera at first. Here are the tricks I use to help clients look relaxed and natural in their photos.

How do I relax in front of the camera?

Movement is the secret — walking, laughing, and interacting keep you from freezing up. We use simple prompts so you’re doing something real instead of holding a stiff pose.

What do I do with my hands?

Give them something to do: hold hands, touch your partner’s arm, or adjust your hair. Relaxed, busy hands instantly look more natural.

How do I get a genuine smile?

Real smiles come from real moments, so we joke around and capture in-between expressions. The candid moments between poses are often the best ones.

Tips for Better Natural Photos

Plan your outfits, choose the right time of day, and trust your photographer to guide you to the best results.
