How to Pose Like a Pro in the Studio (Even If You’re Nervous!)

Let’s be honest—posing in front of a camera can feel awkward, especially if you’re not a model or you haven’t had photos taken in years (or... ever). That’s exactly why I made this video: to show you how easy, empowering, and even fun posing can be when you’re in a safe, supportive space.

At Jenny Puranen Photography, I specialize in helping everyday people—moms, professionals, actors, and anyone who says “I’m not photogenic”—look and feel incredible in front of the camera

🎥 In This Video:

I walk through a few of my go-to studio poses that instantly elevate your confidence and flatter your shape. You’ll see how small changes—like where you place your hands or how you shift your hips—can make a huge difference.

Whether you’re doing a headshot, a boudoir session, or a branding shoot, the foundation of great posing is simple:
➡️ Relax your shoulders
➡️ Create soft angles
➡️ Lean into the camera with confidence (literally and emotionally!)

💡 Jenny’s Top 3 Posing Tips from the Studio:

1. Hands Matter. A Lot.
Your hands tell a story. Gently rest them on your hip, thigh, or waist—don’t clench or hide them. Soft hands = soft energy = gorgeous portraits.

2. Chin Forward + Down Is the Magic Combo
Sounds weird, but this subtle move defines your jawline and brings the focus right to your beautiful face.

3. Shape is Everything
Whether you’re curvy, petite, tall, or somewhere in between, I guide you into flattering shapes that show off your natural confidence—no stiff, awkward poses here!
