Use your eyes.

Further Yvette Heiser says; use your eyes to express emotion. When you smile naturally your whole face lights over and your eyes look bright and awake. Before the print session practice smiling in the glass and use different expressions to see what looks stylish similar to your more serious face and why not just have a good  laugh.

 Relax.

Great Prints be when the subject is relaxed and confident. Let the excitement of your print session show through the lens as you take a moment and breathe, relax and just have fun. You may feel silly during this process but I'll do everything I can to help you feel more comfortable.

 Breathe.

This may sound egregious but breathing is crucial to landing a natural look. Take time to exercise taking a deep breath while smiling in front of the glass. Sluggishly release the air while holding the smile and notice how your face and eyes settle into a natural and relaxed expression.

 Move.

Staying stationary can occasionally produce a veritably offered and inelegant look. Just because you're sitting or standing still doesn't mean you can't change the angle of your body to produce a look that's fresh and inspired. Try leaning into the camera slightly to appear more engaged, shift your weight from left to right, or simply move your chin slightly over and down for different shots as this gives us a variety of facial expressions to work with. It's the small effects that make each image perfect … it's okay to move and I largely suggest you do.

 Bedeck.

This goes for everyone. Ladies, spend some redundant time getting your hair blown out, get your makeup done and choose an outfit that makes you look and feel stylish. As for the men, take a shower and slice. When you look stylish, you feel stylish and when you feel stylish, you're naturally more confident. Go the redundant afar to walk into your elderly session feeling confident, seductive, set, and inspired.
