It’s almost second nature to be self-critical. We hit our hair, our cuticles, our figure. The truth is that we are hardest on ourselves, and others very easily see the beauty in us, even when we have a hard time seeing it ourselves. Unfortunately, this often means we put off taking pictures until we’ve lost those “last pounds” or until our teeth are perfectly white, or until, until, until…
The problem with waiting until everything is “perfect” is that, well, you might be waiting a while to finally take those photos. There’s always an excuse not to do it if you have that mindset. We might be a little biased, but putting off portraits indefinitely means you’re missing out on meaningful photographs that you and your family will ultimately treasure as the years go by.
To help you feel more comfortable during your next photo shoot, whenever possible, we’ve summarized some tips below.
