Your clients are stiff and awkward.

You are lacking creativity during your sessions.

You lack prompts and poses to allow families to naturally interact. 

You find yourself telling your clients to 'look more 
natural' instead of guiding them to actually feel natural

I've heard your frustrations...

Your clients want more than just a pretty picture, YOU want more than that too! Families want memories captured of them snuggling their baby as though they can shield them from the world forever, moments of daddy dancing with his sweet little girl and how her tiny hand wraps around his finger. Parents know they won't be that small forever so they want YOU to imprint these memories forever... 

Families 

want memories

not just portraits...

Let's face it... you are crushing it as a professional photographer. You have honed in your technical skills and editing, you are a location expert and can find amazing lighting, and are finally seeing profitability within your business... but something is still missing from your galleries and you aren't yet booking those high end clients. 

Your family sessions are chaotic (which is bound to happen with young kiddos) and you're unsure how to fix it.  

You lack control, which leads to stressed parents trying to either beg or scold their kids into cooperating. 

Your poses are often unflattering, hello hunched backs and double chins!

Your galleries are good, but you aren't producing heirloom-worthy, memory filled portraits.

I love how the Light Livin guide goes beyond only showing students how to pose their subjects for photographs. It digs deeply into the craft of producing organic and real moments. In addition to offering strategies for achieving sincere interactions and reactions, the course and guide discusses the significance of connection and emotion in photography. I was struggling with always capturing the same few poses each session. I felt I was giving the same directions over and over and I was getting burnt out and feeling uncreative during shoots. Thanks to your prompts and directions shared, I now have a plethora of poses and prompts to pull from and keep each session fresh and new. They are simple and easy to follow and remember but make such a huge difference when you are on location and shooting. Now I don’t leave for session without my bag of tricks to make sure I get those shots of the kids that my clients cannot wait to hang on their walls.
