5 Senior Photography Prompts for More Natural Portraits happy hour with hope

For Photographers

Today I’m sharing with you 5 prompts that you can use immediately at your next shoot to create more natural, candid, and joyful feeling senior portraits! If you’ve been following for any amount of time, you know that I am passionate about posing when it comes to senior portraits! A lot of photographers really struggle with posing a client by themselves – it can feel really nerve-wracking and it’s a common pain point and common fear. But I really believe that the way you make your clients feel in front of the camera not only makes or breaks the way their images look but also the way they FEEL about the session. So I’ll walk you through exactly what I do and the 5 prompts I use to make my clients feel comfortable and confident in front of my camera.

Speaking of senior photography, I have a membership called The Senior Scoop where every 500 photographers join me on real senior sessions every month as virtual second shooters! They hear my real time thoughts about everything I’m doing at that shoot from posing to last minute location changes, tricky lighting situations, and more – and I wanted to let you in on one month for FREE! To access Brooke’s Charleston senior session from inside The Senior Scoop, click here!
