Mod Little Tip Thursday - August 27

Today’s tip is to lean back when posing for your photos! Now you’re probably asking yourself, umm you want me to lean back when I pose? Yes! Trust me, this posing tip will correct your posture and make you appear leaner in your photos! ⁣

When attempting this pose, you want to make sure that you are standing up completely straight. No slouching! No sloppy or rushed posing. Now that you’re standing completely straight up, with your chest out, slightly place one foot behind the other, just as I have done in the photo. Lean back ever so slightly, making sure your hips are aligned backwards, and you stomach is tucked underneath your chest. I tend to suck my stomach in a bit to help with my posture. ⁣

Make sure you have pretty arms and hands when posing! (I’m a former pageant girl, and have vivid memories of having pretty hands yelled at me when practicing my poses). One trick I use for this pose is lightly resting my one hand in my pocket and the other hand on my thigh. ⁣

Hold this pose, and snap those gorgeous photos! Swipe to see what not to do! ⁣
