Before we get into this, if you’re still defaulting to the same pose you’ve used for years and wondering why it doesn’t quite work anymore, I’ve made a free guide that shows you exactly how to fix it. Fix Your Millennial Pose the FREE guide, walks you through the small adjustments that take you from the old go to pose to something more flattering and current, using clear before and after examples....

You sit down for a quick snap and then see the photo later… suddenly your tummy looks bigger, your posture looks slouched, and your arms and legs seem wider than they are. Sitting down is one of the fastest ways to look larger in photos, but it is not your body that changed. It is how the camera sees you when you sink into a seat.

The Fix: Move to the Edge of Your Chair

Instead of sinking back...

My previous blog showed you how to stand in the classic headshot pose. Here, I want to show you the most common mistakes I see women making in that pose, and the quick fix that instantly makes your photos look more polished, more flattering, and more like the “professional headshot” you’re actually going for.

The classic headshot pose (done properly)

The classic headshot pose is simple, but it...

If you’re doing the classic headshot pose but your photo still looks a bit off, there’s a good chance it isn’t your face, your hair, or your lighting.

It’s your arms.

Folding your arms feels like the easiest thing in the world. It’s comfortable and it gives you something to do with your hands. But in headshots, the way you fold your arms can completely change the vibe of the photo, and it can ac...

If you’ve ever needed a new headshot quickly (for your website, Instagram bio, LinkedIn, speaking event, or a last-minute opportunity) you already know the problem…

You either:

• crop yourself out of a wedding photo

• use a selfie and hope nobody notices

• or avoid updating it altogether

The good news is: you don’t need a professional photographer or studio to fix this. You just nee...

We’ve all been there. Someone whips out their phone and catches you side-on in a chair. The result? Wide, compressed, and not the least bit flattering. It’s the kind of photo that makes you want to untag yourself immediately.

But here’s the good news: you don’t need to leap into a dramatic pose or completely rearrange yourself to fix it. You can take that unflattering moment and, with a few small...

You know the one. Hands on hips, elbows out, sharp little angles pointing to either side. The classic “triangle arms” pose.

It feels powerful, right? Strong. Like a don’t-mess-with-me kind of stance. But here’s the truth: the camera doesn’t read it that way. Our eyes take in the entire shape, not just the body inside it. So when your elbows shoot out, the frame expands. Suddenly, you look wider t...

Hands are small, but they have a huge impact on how your pose looks in photos. Where you put them acts like a spotlight - drawing the eye to certain areas of your body. And here’s the kicker: your hands might be the reason you hate a photo, even when everything else feels fine.

A common mistake I see is resting your hands right over your belly, thinking it will hide or minimise it. Logical, right...

Ever look at a photo of yourself and think - why doesn't that look right?You can’t quite put your finger on it, but the vibe feels awkward. Chances are, it’s not your smile, your outfit, or even your pose. It’s your feet.

Foot placement is one of the sneakiest culprits for making a perfectly good photo look weird. When your feet are off, the whole photo feels off. There are plenty of photos where...
