If you are a fashion blogger or a person who enjoys taking pictures, then this post may be for you. I have been taking pictures for my blog and website for about 4 years. When I started I had no clue as to what I should do.

I remember following other fashion bloggers on Instagram to get photo inspiration. That quickly faded and I began to focus on what I truly loved to do. I was just like any other blogger just starting out. Taking pictures just to take pictures. I hired photographers in Dallas, New Orleans and everywhere in between. The photos were great, but I looked uncomfortable. More importantly, the photos that I was investing money it didn’t serve a purpose.

Purpose.

It truly makes a difference in the type of content you create. More importantly, it helps you to become more confident when taking your photos. For me, a few things I have learned about myself and feeling confident in my pictures.

1. I prefer to have my hair straight instead of naturally curly. It is much easier to manage, which makes it less stressful for me.
2. Wearing heels vs sandals are flats are a must. simply because being only 5″3, I prefer a little height to my photos.
3. Lashes are another must have for my photoshoots. By wearing false lashes or lash extensions they help give me a dramatic look. The best part, I don’t have to stress about having the perfect makeup.

I hope by sharing some of my tricks, it will help you on your journey of finding what works for you. So, let’s get to the tips on how you can become more confident during your photoshoots.
