Wow, I guess the current trends are really spreading fast on the internet!
So I'll add my 2 cents about how I think my images work for my couples.

"Wear your smile" – When you are getting dressed to go out you know what looks good on you and you look in the mirror to make sure. You can do the same for your smile! If you don’t like your smile take some time to check it out in the mirror like you do when you are getting dressed!

I work with many first time models, coaching guys and girls a like on how to be in front of a camera. This is exactly what I tell them to help teach them get better headshots. When either couples of models ask me how to give better smiles this is what I always tell them.

The best smiles come from laughter so laugh at your self in the mirror and few times and see what you like. Have someone make you laugh if it helps or make it a fun thing to do with your wedding party! Nothing like a bunch of grown people making faces and laughing in front of a small mirror! If anything it should be fun! Eventually you will find something you and or your posse likes and the more you practice it the more you will remember how your face feels.

And remember folks, I'm also a member! lol I know this works because being the kind of picky person I am about things I hated my first senior portraits in high school. The next day I made an appointment with a photographer I liked and practiced for 2 hours the night before (I'm a bit excessive sometimes, so I don't know if you need a whole 2 hour. What can I say, I love alone but shop at Costco) and had great results the second time around!

I’ll write more when I get a chance, but feel free to contact me if you have any questions, aloha everyone!
