Single Girl:
• Spinning pictures are always cute, especially in a dress.
• “Show me your best Instagram pose”
• You could start by putting her in your desired position and telling her you’re just taking some
test shots while you get your settings set. She’ll likely relax and you might get some good ones.
Then say: “Ok, now just look as awkward as possible for a second” – and it should make her
laugh and relax even more!
• Give them something to do with their hands and then make them laugh
• give me your cheesiest smile (you will get a real genuine smile from it)
• Pretend you’re walking on a tightrope and try to balance ( usually they get off balance and
laugh a bit )
• Have her run away from you then run back to you.
• Play with your hair, mess it up a little
• Show me your “vogue” look
• I always tell my clients to fake laugh, and then I do a ridiculous fake one as an example, which
always makes them have a real laugh.
• for a serious face – breathe through your mouth to separate your lips slightly
• Do your best Taylor Swift shake it off dance with me. Take a few pictures while dancing and
then after y’all stop they are usually smiling and laughing and loosened up a bit.
• “Hands on hips, now lean forward. More. More. Moooore. Don’t fall! Why are you are going
that far?”
• Twist your hair like you’re flirting
Couples:
• Walk towards me and bump your hips!
• Piggy back rides!
• Tackle her from behind!
• Smile! Now pretend that you’re sexy tigers!
• Look at each other without trying to smile!
• Hold hands and spin!
• Run up behind her and grab her like you’re kidnapping her
• Get as close as possible but no kissing till I say so”
• Take your partner’s face into your hands and kiss your favorite part.
• Slowly move her hair off her shoulder / tuck her hair behind her ear and kiss her on the neck.
• Guy: go in for a kiss. Girl: Nah girl, MAKE HIM WORK FOR IT.
• Girl: give your hair a good ol’ shake. Guy: get super close and tuck your girl’s hair behind her
ear.
• Hold her tight from behind and whisper in her ear
• Lift her up and spin her around
• Bring her hands up like you are warming them up. Then kiss each and every finger soft and
