Frequently Asked Questions

Do I really get over 100 posing ideas?

Yes! This guide has over 100 poses with instructions, tips and tricks, and photo examples for poses that I use during family sessions including photos with the whole family, mom with the kids, dad with the kids, the kids alone, and just mom and dad!

What makes this different from other posing guides out there?

I include photo examples for every pose, what I say to the family to achieve each pose, and tips and tricks for overcoming any potential challenges. The poses are listed in the guide in the order that I use them during a session, so you can take this guide to your sessions and flow through the poses in order!

Can you describe the posing style that you teach in the guide?

My goal is to include as much variety in my galleries as possible! Of course, I get those important looking and smiling photos and breakdowns of different family members, but where I really thrive is FUN candid posing. In this guide. My goal is for the entire family to have so much fun during my sessions. And I get amazing photos at the same time. In this guide, I explain which poses to use for different personality types, what to do when the kids just want to be held, what to do when the kids don’t feel like sitting still and listening, etc. If you struggle with wrangling toddlers, this guide will help you so much! If you struggle with providing enough variety in your galleries or your Instagram feed is mainly “looking and smiling” photos, you NEED this guide!

Hey! I’m Michelle!

I’m a Greenville, South Carolina motherhood photographer, specializing in families, maternity, and newborns. I help photographers grow their businesses and become more confident during their sessions.

I’ve been where you are. When I first started photographing families, my sessions felt chaotic and stressful. I didn’t know how to help families feel natural and comfortable in front of the camera. Over the years, after photographing hundreds of families, I have developed a complete posing system that families love. I create raving fans through FUN posing.

I would LOVE to help you grow your photography business and improve your sessions through posing!
