​LEFT: Phone was held below chin and shooting upwards.  Don't do this.  Creates the illusion of a double chin, shows shadows, fine lines, and imperfections.
MIDDLE:  Phone was held straight on to face.  Looks ok, but there's a better option
RIGHT:  Phone was held just slightly higher than my eyeline.  It opens the eyes more, defines the jawline, and lights the face better.

I hope this is helpful!

Go practice this!  Take a shot below, straight on, and then above to compare.

You will be amazed!

P.S. - no filters or photoshop used.  Keepin' it real ya'll.  Shot in a bathroom. 😊

I'm a Glamour Portrait Photographer who specializes in helping everyday women look and feel beautiful in photographs.  My studio is location in Downtown Christiansburg, Virginia and is beautiful with white brick walls and natural light with windows.  

I invite you to check out my Before and After Gallery.  I know how to pose women of all ages and sizes so that they look thinner, feel confident, and never have a double chin in photos.

"I'm not scared to be seen, I make no apologies, this is me"

This my Before and After.
I'm showing you this because I want to be real with you.

It's OK to get glammed up and have a photoshoot.

It's OK to want to bring out another side of yourself that you've been hiding.

It's OK to do something for YOU for a change.Maybe you’ve recently gone through a milestone.  Turned 40, 50, or 60. 

Maybe your baby is graduating high school this month and you’re thinking what now. 

Or maybe you just want to be seen again.

If you'd like to experience a Glam Session with me, click the button below to be taken to the Book Now page.  Fill out the form and tell me how you'd like to be seen.

Step out of your comfort zone and 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 just do it.
