Anyone who hasn’t been in front of a professional camera before or simply doesn’t like photos can end up looking a bit stiff when posing.

It’s completely natural to feel nervous before your senior photoshoot, but you still want your images to look natural and highlight your personality and style.

Here are a few ways that you can pose more naturally and enjoy your upcoming session.

It’s important not to overthink your session. When you get too nervous about doing the right thing, the anxiety will automatically affect how you look in your photos. Do something that will help you feel more relaxed before your session and let your photographer help you with the rest. Most importantly, have fun!
