15 Poses in 5 Minutes

Have you ever started a session, camera in hand, and suddenly felt stuck? Your couple is standing there, looking at you, waiting for direction… and your mind goes blank.

Maybe you’ve memorized a few poses, but they don’t flow naturally. Or you get into a groove, only to realize you’ve been doing the same three poses over and over again.

I get it. Early in my career, I struggled with the exact same thing. I would go into a session hoping to “wing it,” only to leave feeling like I didn’t capture enough variety. I wanted my couples to feel comfortable, confident, and natural—but instead, I felt like I was just moving their arms around and hoping for the best.

That all changed when I developed a repeatable system for posing. And now, I’m sharing it with you!

The Game-Changer: “15 Poses in 5 Minutes”

I’ve put together a FREE guide that teaches you exactly how to create effortless variety in your posing—without overcomplicating things.

With this freebie, you’ll learn:
✅ A proven framework to move through 15 poses in just 5 minutes
✅ How to naturally transition between poses so your couple never feels awkward
✅ A system that works in every setting—from engagements to weddings to family sessions
✅ How to get a full, diverse gallery without running out of ideas

This is the exact approach I’ve used for 16+ years to create natural, beautiful images that make my clients feel incredible. And when your clients feel amazing? They rave about you. They share your work. And they send referrals your way.

Why This Will Transform Your Photography

Photographers often think that posing is just about making people look good. But the truth is, posing is your #1 marketing tool.

Here’s why:
Confident posing = confident clients. When clients feel relaxed and guided, they enjoy the session more—and that energy shows up in the final images.
Great posing leads to referrals. When people feel amazing in front of your camera, they’ll tell their friends!
It saves you time and stress. No more freezing up mid-session. This system helps you flow seamlessly from pose to pose, keeping things natural and effortless.

Grab Your Free Guide!

I want you to walk into your next session 100% confident, knowing you have a clear plan for creating variety without overthinking it.
