Strike a Pose (Part 1)

Your wedding photos are some of the most important photographs you will ever take. Let’s face it, each of us is concerned with how those photos will turn out. Your hair and makeup will be perfect, you will look Strike a Pose photo 2radiant and you want it to translate in photos.

For over 20 years, Tania has taught models how to pose in front of the camera and every photo shoot requires a little practice beforehand. Here is how you can strike the perfect poses and look your best on your wedding day!

  • Remember the basics – take a deep breath, exhale deeply, raise your chin slightly and twist your head slightly away from the camera. Then focus your eyes either a little above your natural eye line or back down at the camera.
  • Natural emotion is more beautiful than forcing your smile through compressed lips to hide your teeth. If you’re not confident with your teeth, let your photographer know – that is what post-production is for.
  • Think happy / excited / romantic / confident thoughts and it will come through in your smile. Don’t forget to smile with your eyes!
  • To soften “profile” photos, turn your face 45 degrees from the camera, rather than 90 degrees.

My favorite lip conditioner for the season

When the fickle weather has got you reaching for every product on the shelf…one thing I know for sure.  The MAC lip conditioner works fast to soften, smooth out dry chapped lips.  Also, I suggest using a tinted color choice in pink or mocha for daytime to repair your lips and restore your confident smile while offering you a soft lip color to compliment your beauty look.   Other suggestions to repair lips from the harsh weather, try using a warm cloth placed over the lips, then use a toothbrush to gently brush off any peeling skin.  Other organic ways to heal the lips,  try 100% shea butter but why stop at the lips, it’s good to use all over the body.
