Check out out easy guide to posing...


First up is the "Pageant Queen", our easiest pose and the one we usually start all our photoshoots with.

To help you recreate the "Pageant Queen" pose, you can follow these detailed instructions:


1. Stand on the Beach:

- Find a spot on the beach with a clear view of the ocean in the background.

- Ensure the sand is smooth and free of any debris for a clean look.


2. Body Position:

- Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, one foot slightly in front of the other to create a natural, relaxed stance.

- Angle the body slightly to the side, turning the torso towards the camera. This adds dimension and elegance to the pose.


3. Hand Placement:

- One hand should rest on the hip. This creates a confident and strong stance.

- The other hand should hold the edge of the dress, lifting it high above the shoulder to create a dramatic, flowing effect.


4. Holding the Dress:

- Ensure the dress is held securely but gracefully, with the fabric extended to create a flowing line that mimics the wind blowing.

- The fabric should be taut but not stretched too tightly to maintain a natural flow.


5. Facial Expression and Head Position:

- Tilt the head slightly towards the hand on the hip.

- Keep the expression confident and regal, with a slight smile to convey grace and elegance.


6. Leg Position:

- The front leg should be straight, and the back leg can be bent slightly. This pose creates a dynamic line and adds to the overall elegance.

- Ensure toes are pointed slightly inward or forward for a natural stance.


7. Dress Flow and Wind Effect:

- If possible, have a dress assistant help with creating the wind effect by lifting and releasing the fabric gently.

- Time the photo to capture the moment when the dress is at its peak flow.


8. Final Touches:

- Check the overall alignment and make sure the pose looks natural and fluid.

- Adjust any small details, such as the angle of the head or the height of the dress, to perfect the pose.
