When it comes to posing couples, the first thing I do before taking ANY photographs, is to run through some simple posing guidelines, and teach my couple some foundation poses based on five feet positions. The idea of this being, that once you know some basic posing techniques, you will relax and feel more confident during your portrait session.

Like the couple featured in this blog, most of us have only ever posed for awkward school photos and so we worry that we wont be any good at posing for professional photographs. Let me reassure you that with a little guidance anyone can learn to pose for photographs, and the great thing is that once you know how to pose, you can take what you have learned and apply it again in different situations (like when you have to pose for photos at a friends party).
