The Truth About “Not Being Photogenic”

I hear it all the time: “I’m not photogenic.” “I never look good in photos.” “Everyone else looks natural, but I don’t.”

Here’s the truth — people don’t look awkward in photos because they aren’t photogenic. They look awkward because they feel unseen. Because they’re trying to be who they think the camera expects them to be instead of who they are.

My job isn’t to pose you into someone you’re not. My job is to help you feel comfortable enough that your real self — the one your family loves — is the one that shows up. And that version of you? That version photographs beautifully every single time.
