Four Seasons Bahamas Portrait Photographer
Bringing out inner beauty is all about making your subject feel comfortable and confident in front of the lens. When Julia told me that she was nervous about having her photo taken, and hadn't done any professional modeling before, I set aside some time before of the shoot to give her a mini-lesson on posing.
Guiding my clients through a range of poses is one of my strengths as a model turned photographer. Knowing how to move and conveying confidence in front of the camera comes easily to models with years of experience, but when it's your first time having professional photos taken in a swimsuit you may find yourself unsure of what to do. The focus of the model posing lesson is to show the client how to move naturally in front of the camera. No one wants stiff, over-posed photos. The smallest details can have such an impact on your posture and how the photos turn out. As I directed Julia through each pose, showing her the exact movements step by step, it was a joy to see her confidence shine through.
After finishing up with the swimwear photoshoot, we met up with her husband at The Four Seasons Ocean Club Resort on Paradise Island. Julia changed into a beautiful star patterned dress that we had picked out for the "Love Story" portrait session. After a quick hair & makeup check, we were ready to go!
We spent about 30 minutes in the tropical gardens capturing their love for one another. After so many years capturing memories for my clients as a Four Seasons Resort photographer, the Cloisters in my opinion are one of the most romantic locations in Nassau for a couples photography session. As sunset approached, we headed back to the beach for some final shots just before the light faded.
