How to Rock a Selfie Photo Shoot

Get a portrait session done. So many of us have this on our to-do lists.

For most of us, it is likely followed by a whole bunch of conditions. I’ll be ready to get those portraits when I … (get a haircut, lose weight, get a new wardrobe, figure out my brand or business, get a bigger blogging audience, feel better about my body).

Then we put it off for someday and it doesn’t happen, right?

Yet having photos of ourselves helps us shine in our blog or business! It lets people feel connected to us when we share online and the photos themselves help us feel more confident and shine in the world.

As a portrait photographer, I love helping people radiate in their work and lives through taking their photos. You might recognize these portraits I’ve taken from the websites of some of your favourite bloggers/teachers!

Yet as a teacher of self-portrait workshops that focus on seeing yourself with kindness through your own lens, I want to tell you a secret: You can make an incredible portrait happen for yourself too.  

The powerful thing about taking self-portraits is that we realize that we are in control of our self-image, that we can choose a story of love & compassion. We realize that by being our own photographer, we know better than any one else how to take photos of ourselves that we love. I know that might feel impossible, but I’ll be your guide in this journey!

Now, if you are already thinking that you’ll need to make a lot of time to do these activities, listen up! The class is designed for you to participate in the entire class with whichever tool you feel most confident taking selfies with and I very much encourage you to use that iPhone or Smartphone of yours.  If you are a daily DSLR user, this class is for you too!

Because here’s what I know.  It isn’t about the tools we use as much as it is getting out of your own way and letting yourself shine through these photos!

During the class, you’ll just need a bit of time each day to join in on the simple guided activity for that day. Probably the same amount of time you might normally use to take selfies throughout your day.

These activities will not only get you comfortable in front of the camera but will also help you playfully get your head shots and promo images. In the final week of class, after we’ve gotten oh so inspired and comfortable in front of the lens, we’ll go out on one selfie photo shoot and use the tricks we’ve learned to get even more photos for your blog or business!

If you playfully participate in the class you’ll find yourself with:

• A headshot (or lots of them) that makes you feel absolutely radiant.
• A full body photo that doesn’t feel stiff and posed but that feels like YOU
• Images galore to use for blog posts and product launches that tell the story of you!
• A new relationship with how you see yourself in photos

Here are some examples of the types of photos you’ll learn to take in this class.  All of these are self-portraits that I have used in my business, in collaborations or for promotional images!

Class starts October 6th and registration is open! So grab your spot over here!

Don’t hesitate to send me an email if you have any questions come up (or doubts…if you’re thinking ‘I can’t take photos like that’ please don’t hesitate to connect and I’ll share with you why I believe you can)!
