Posing and Smiles
A professional portrait should show someone looking relaxed, confident, and approachable-- which can be a bit difficult with a giant camera lens pointing at you. The photographer will never just drop someone in front of a camera without helping them get the best smile. Each person is coached into different poses and angles to get the most flattering look from shoulders to hip, and is given cues, tips, and instructions for getting different types of natural-looking smiles and facial expressions. Everyone is different and can look more like themselves from different angles and in different poses, so the photographer will get multiple smiles and angles to choose from- making sure we get it right the first time and each person walks away with a photo they can be proud of.
