The L&A Posing Playbook

For Photographers

January 30, 2018

It was 2010 and I remember it vividly. It didn’t just happen at one session I booked. But instead, every single one.

I’d arrive to a session already stressed out about the poses I was planning to coax my couple into… I’d sit there in the car for a few minutes before meeting them: frantically looking through other photographers work just HOPING enough of the posing ideas would stick in my mind long enough to avoid awkward pauses during the shoot!

Like a recurring bad dream, I’d begin the session and execute the short list of poses I could remember… but before long, I was doing the same thing over and over.

I’d freak out, freeze up, and my mind would go blank. All the while *heart racing* hoping on the inside that my couple wasn’t bored with the same poses they were doing on repeat (#snooze). Or worse: that they felt as awkward as I did.

Can you relate?!

POSING. It’s not easy without a system… in fact, it’s actually really hard to remember countless different poses while also trying to get to know your couple, make them feel comfortable, pay attention to what the light is doing, *and* get all your camera settings right! Stress!!

THANKFULLY there is a silver lining to this story! Fast forward to 2018 and I actually can’t believe I once was that girl described above! Insecure, unsure, unprepared, and nervous out of my mind… that was me!

But! The system I’ve developed over the years has made posing feel so easy, fun, and natural… and now, it’s one of my favorite parts of shooting! (The Caroline of 2010 wouldn’t believe her ears.)

It’s taken my work from posed, stiff, & unnatural copies of other people’s work…
… to natural, inspired memories for my couples!
Along with my friend Annamarie Akins (who’s walked this very same road!), we built The Posing Playbook so you can easily and confidently (!!!) create candid, natural, AND flattering images too!
