Many years as a professional photographer did NOT teach me how to be comfortable having my own photo taken, but I’d like to think I’ve learned a few handy tips over the years: 1. Make a beverage or two of your choice. (Feel free to use your imagination here.) 2. Invite a great photographer over to your house so you can later marvel at how cute your place is. 3. Respond to emails while she works and look up & smile occasionally. Thanks @kelseypagephoto for making this shoot quick & painless - you’re the real MVP. I’m curious, what are some of your favorite tips for feeling comfortable in front of the camera?
