Strike a POSE!

Hello loves. If you’re anything like my family you’ll be snapping photos and being snapped quite a bit for the next few days… and whether those photos are being snapped on an iphone, your new point & shoot or a Canon 5D Mark ii, a quality photo all begins with the right pose! After all, we all want to represent ourselves in the best way possible, eh?

This brings me to my Holiday gift to all you wonderful peeps that read my blog and ever updating facebook page:

KINA’S QUICK GUIDE TO PRETTY SKINNY PHOTOS

Rule 1:

Chin down, eyes up. (sweet and simple)

Rule 2:

Lean forward a bit when sitting or standing, bending from the waist. (believe me… this melts the pounds better than SPANX!)

Rule 3:

The smile or… non smile. Smile with your eyes, not just your mouth. In case of a serious photo op, please part your lips slightly and breath softly though them so as to avoid pursed Aunt Bertha jawline:)

Rule 4:

Composition… do not cut off anyone at a joint… feet, knees, wrists, elbow… it’s just awkward!

Rule 5:

Think 3/4 when looking at the camera rather than straight on… this goes for your body too… and an elbow up to create a pretty S curve stance doesn’t hurt either!

This is by no means the complete posing list, but I hope it makes your memories just that much more memorable this year! Thank you for being a gift to me every day with your encouraging words!! MUAH!!
