1. Choose an outfit you are confident in. If you are uncomfortable, it will show and you won't like the results.
2. Pick someone who you are very comfortable around to take the photos. If you aren't scared to embarass yourself in front of them, that's perfect.
3. Put on some music. It helps break the ice and makes you more comfortable.
4. Now, just start posing! If you need tips on posing, I'd recommend searching the vibe you're going for plus "posing tips". There are so many videos to give you a starting point.
5. Keep posing and keep moving. The more poses and the more movement, the better.
6. When you think you might be done, take more photos.
7. Sort through the photos, and don't be too hard on yourself. There will only be a few really good ones out of dozens. Those few are what we are looking for because they are gems!
To recap, the most important things are:
| Comfort | Well chosen photographer |
| Confidence | Nice outfit |
| Patience | Many many photos |
