Having your photograph taken by a professional is a truly transformative experience that may spark your creativity and elevate your self-confidence. But still, so many women shy away from the camera due to fear, shyness, body shame, self-consciousness, or lack of self-esteem.

Of course, working as a model for almost 20 years, I have a slightly different view because it is something I love to do. I use the experience to express myself, ignite my creativity and inspire and empower others to stand up and use their voice, without even saying a word. I am also forever a student in front of the lens, always learning. It is my honor to share with you what I know!

Are you scared to be on camera? Think you’re too timid to stand out & shine? What’s your hesitance to having your photo taken? I want to help women gain confidence standing in front of the lens, so they can transform their self-image and self-worth and inspire other women to do the same. This has nothing to do with vanity (though it can if you’d enjoy that as well), but sharing your truest, best self with the world. You can tell the world who you are and what you stand for without even saying a word!

I’m sharing my top 3 secrets from my experience in the modeling industry to help you gain confidence in front of the lens and overcome your hesitance to having your photos taken once and for all. Let’s have some fun!

Embrace your beauty.

What do you love most about yourself? Let’s focus on that and only that! That is your beauty. You don’t need a perfect body. But you do need to feel perfect in your body. When you are comfortable in your skin and confident in who you are, you are not only empowered, but you are transformed from the inside out. By focusing on what we love about yourself and highlighting those things, you take attention off the things you don’t like. You can’t think good and bad at the same time. Getting confident and empowered is all about concentrating on what you most love about you. Blinders up to the rest of it!

Just be yourself.

Expressing who you really are is a matter of using your voice. It is your creativity, your essence. In my work, I spend a lot of time helping people find their voice and express themselves, which is key to creating a transformational experience on camera (on the inside and out). On a photoshoot with trained professionals, who care about you, you are perfectly safe to fully express yourself and shine. Show YOU!

Dress in clothes you love.

If you’re a female reading this, I think it’s safe to assume you love to play dress up. When you approach getting dressed as a fun, playful endeavor, it’s more fun and more likely you will love that person you see in the mirror! If choosing clothing is not a favorite past-time of yours, it may be a good idea to work with a wardrobe stylist, a photoshoot coach (like me), or consult your photographer on the best choices for you. Having fun = relaxation > confidence > photoshoot success. Let’s play!

Getting on camera with confidence and charisma is a matter of presence not perfection. It is about allowing yourself to shine from the inside out vs. evaluating every bit of your outer shell with a magnifying glass. Your outer physical attributes will look and feel just perfect when you are confident and comfortable in your skin, excited to share yourself with the world, and proud of the image you see in the mirror.
