December is packed with parties, family gatherings, and plenty of photo ops. If youâre like me, you want to look good without feeling stiff or awkward. Here are five easy tips that make a big difference:
1. Angle Your Body
Standing straight on can feel harsh. Turn your body slightly to the side for a softer, more flattering look.
2. Drop Your Shoulders and Breathe
Tension shows up in photos. Take a breath, relax your shoulders, and let your face soften. It makes you look natural instead of posed.
3. Find the Best Light
Lighting is everything. If you can, face a window or a light source. Avoid harsh overhead lightsâthey create shadows you donât want.
4. Lean In for Connection
Photos feel warmer when you show connection. Put an arm around someone or hold a kidâs hand. It looks genuine and feels good too.
5. Act a Little Silly
A small laugh or playful moment can turn a stiff photo into something fun. It helps everyone relax and creates real smiles.
Try these out at your next holiday party. Youâll look great, feel comfortable, and maybe even love the photos this year!
