Ever look at a friend’s stunning photo and think, gah, I want a nice headshot like that?
Life is busy, it can be hard to find time to treat yourself. But that’s what our Model for a Day promotion is all about–finding the time to spoil yourself, or your daughter, your mom, or even a friend. Our goal is to bring out your natural beauty, with a little help from a stylist, a makeup artist, and me.
Here are just a few of the gorgeous shots we have taken during our Model for a Day promotion in the past:
Our Model for a Day promotion is back by popular demand. Check out the details below and book soon, as sessions fill fast:
Know Your Best Side. Most of us do not have perfectly symmetrical faces and we usually prefer one side over the other. If you don’t know which is your “good side,” take a few moments to look in the mirror. Look a little to the left, then to the right. Which side is your favorite? Need help deciding? Try taking a selfie, just remember to do it with your front facing camera, or you will have a flipped mirror image of your face.
Barbie Arm. If your girlfriends haven’t let you in on this trick it just might change your photo world. ;) To avoid your arms looking larger than life (an oh-so-common complaint), hold your hand on your hip and bend your elbow slightly toward the back. This creates a nice slimming effect which utilizes the white space between your body and arm.
Mind Your Assets. Push your assets to the back (ladies, that means booty and hips). The other leg (the one closest to the camera) should be slightly bent. You do this by putting your weight on the foot that is farthest from the camera and push your front hip away from the camera. This causes you to lean a little towards the camera so the eyes are the closest thing to the lens! It always looks lovely.
Lean In. If you lean forward a little bit (not too much), with shoulders back, it can define the chin, elongate the neck, highlight the eyes, and allows your hair to fall forward over your shoulders, creating a stunning feminine look.
Wait for it. To get a more authentic, natural smile, wait until just before snapping the picture. Holding a smile fatigues your facial muscles, so take breaks between shots. Even better, when it’s time to smile, if you can think of a favorite thing, something that naturally makes you happy, hold that thought while you show your pearly whites.
Hair. Try different hair styles ahead of time to determine which look best on you–the ones that really compliment your face and body: hair down, behind one shoulder, all forward, swept up, whichever it is play up your best look, by posing not only your face and body, but your hair as well.
