5 Tips to Feel Comfortable and Confident in Front of the Camera

Hey I completely get it! I get uncomfortable in front of the camera as well. But you know what? That feeling of feeling awkward, nervous, and uncomfortable only lasts for a few minutes and afterwards you will be comfortable and having a blast! 

Here are my top 5 tips so you feel comfortable and natural during your session with me! 

Favorite Side: 
Knowing your favorite side (left or right) will help you feel more comfortable and have an idea how you like to look. Now, it’s also my job as your senior photographer to guide you on posing during your senior session. If you don’t have a favorite side or don’t know, I will help you. 

Bring Your Friends With You: 
One of my favorite additions to any senior session is your favorite people. If you want to have your best friend(s), significant other, parents, pet or anyone else join in your photos, they are more than welcome! If your session is entirely about you and you want a few friends to jump in, they are welcome to join, and the last few minutes of your session we can capture a few friend group images.  If you are splitting the session cost with your friends, we will get plenty of individuals and group photos of y’all

Wear Something Comfortable . 
Choosing what you will wear for your senior session is a huge decision that can make or break your senior session! If there are pieces in your closet that make you feel self-conscious or uncomfortable, don’t include them in your senior portrait wardrobe. Choosing flattering silhouettes and colors that complement your natural features is the best way to ensure you’ll love the way you look in your photos.

I’ll Take Care of The Posing
Clients always tell me that they do not know how to pose and they do not want to feel weird or awkward. Well, with me, you do not have to worry about that. I got you! I will pose you during the session. I’ll let you know where to place your feet and what to do with your hands. No awkward posing or feeling weird, that is my promise! 

Stress Free Session Prep:
I will help you prepare for your session and will not leave you to figure it out by yourself. You will receive tips on colors that are best for your skin tone, how to style your body shape, where to shop for your session and local Lubbock vendors, and so much more! 

I can’t wait to meet you!
