Walthamstow Portrait photographer
So, there was this one time when my sister wanted a snap shot of the dog, then mum with me on the side.
As I twisted a smile like the nervous teenager I am was, I jerked my neck taut. Which resulted in an awkward photo booth moment.
Being the camera shy woman that I am, I threatened ‘don’t put that on Facebook, so I kind of defeated the purpose of the photo – a happy snap shot of all the family together.
I forgot one thing. Mothers see the beauty in us, especially our flaws.
Well, this post is an attempt to turn back time and help you avoid the same mistake.
Session tip – wear something that makes you feel confident
Portrait tip 1 – take the pressure off yourself Choose a simple outfit and accessorize with a single, eye catching necklace, scarf or fur lined coat.
The best way to look good is to feel confident about your choices. Know you’ve made the right decision and accept yourself.

Portrait tip 2 – fake confidence A confident women is a beautiful women. The more you practice, the more you’ll feel it. In no time at all, you’ll believe it yourself.
As you start to project confidence, the world will reflect it back – so get out there, look people in the eye and smile right back at them.
Portrait tip 3 – smile (no really, let the light shine) Giggle, chortle, tease, joke and smile ’til it reaches your eyes. The camera loves a relaxed face and the energy it creates.
