Eva’s favorite poses
Many couples feel nervous about getting their photos taken. If I’m not holding a camera or a guinea pig when someone takes my photo, I tense up. My tummy hurts just thinking about it. It’s a lot of pressure. No matter how awkward you think you are, if you show up to your shoot ready to be silly and have a good time, the photos won’t feel or look awkward at all.
I know that when I’m feeling nervous, I like to think through the plan & start imagining it, so here are some of my go to poses so you can start imagining our session together.
My Favorite Poses
Hold hands and walk towards me
Why I love it:
I like to start our session with this prompt and keep coming back to it throughout our shoot because it’s easy & we get lots of cute candids. It’s low stakes and helps us loosen up. Capturing photos of you two walking together & exploring feels like such a perfect representation of this journey you’re on — just strolling through this big beautiful life together.
HOW TO DO it:
Hold hands
Walk towards me
As you walk, look at each other, look around, smile at me.
surprise hug
Why I love it:
This is my favorite pose of all time because it’s so silly and gets us giggling — which is what I love.
HOW TO DO it:
Partner 1 will stand and face me.
Partner 2 will take a few steps back and will “sneakily” run up from behind and surprise Partner 1 with a big hug.
Then we’ll switch, and Partner 1 will surprise Partner 2.
Snuggle in Close & Smile at Me
Why I love it:
We get a lot of candid & movement with other poses, so I want to make sure we get a good smiley one at me!
HOW TO DO it:
Snuggle into a hug, facing each other.
Smoosh your cheeks together and smile right at me.
From here, I’ll have you two look at each other and then do whatever feels natural after that — a smooch, hug normal, kiss on the cheek, etc.
