“Don't worry about being ‘photogenic.’ Everyone is. The secret is to relax, trust the person behind the camera, and focus on enjoying the moment instead of trying to pose perfectly.”

"What's closest to the camera is the biggest. Lean slightly forward in photos. For group photos, get in the middle—the edges are the biggest (I call it the fat spot!)."

"One of the biggest things people overlook is light. Before I even think about posing, I always look for where the light is coming from because light shapes everything. Soft, even light coming from in front of you is almost always the most flattering. If the brightest light is behind you, it can leave your face dark and underexposed unless you have additional lighting to balance it. Simply turning toward the light can completely transform a photo."

"The best photos feel natural, so don’t be afraid to move, interact, and have fun instead of trying to pose perfectly. For a flattering photo, slightly turn your body instead of standing completely straight-on and focus on genuinely enjoying the moment!"
