The way you pose and hold your head in a photo can create or eliminate a double chin. And usually, it's just one simple adjustment you have to make that will fix the issue. Push your chin (head) toward the camera. Yes, like a turtle. "Turtle your head" It will FEEL weird, also like your a chicken, but it looks great from the front and eliminates a double chin! I do it on ALL my clients. I did a short Facebook Live earlier this year where I demonstrated it. Here's the video: (don't ya love that screenshot of me 🤪) That's all there is to it! Some super basic adjustments will completely eliminate the issue. I hope you enjoyed this tip.

I am the photographer behind the women’s glamour studio, FiftyCentLove Photographie, here in Christiansburg, Virginia. I'm all about empowering women and helping them see the beauty within themselves.One thing I've found though is that a lot of women are really self-conscious about how they look in photos. They don't like their arms, they want to look slimmer, they think their smile is fake - you name it! So to help with this, I hopped on Facebook Live earlier this year to help women with the basics of posing. And let me tell you - my Facebook audience loved it! It got such a good response that I decided to organize the videos into a FREE POSING GUIDE series so I could help more women love themselves in pictures. You'll get one tip a week. At the end, you'll get my bonus series about What to Wear for my photoshoots.

"Every woman should have the experience I have had working with the incredible photographer, Debbie Smith. Debbie skillfully and professionally captured not just my outward appearance, but also the sparkle in my eye and the confidence in my smile. But the most important part was not just the pictures, but the experience. As women, we are constantly beat down by ourselves, other people, and the media. We are told that we are not enough......not thin enough, not smart enough, not pretty enough, not successful enough. But we are made in God’s image. We ARE enough. And this experience and these pictures are a tangible reminder that this is how God sees me. Beautiful and captivating in every way. I am and feel like a princess of my almighty King. As long as I live, I will treasure this experience, pictures, and new friendship with Debbie." - Kari Stohler If you'd love to see the sparkle in your eye and confidence in your smile, contact me HERE and I'd love to talk with you! Helping women in the NRV, Christiansburg, Blacksburg, and Roanoke Virginia feel beautiful in portraits.  "I don’t think we ever see ourselves as others see us. Thank you for letting me see myself through your eyes!" - Sheila H. What do you see when you see a picture of yourself? Every flaw, right? Me too, but that's not how others see you! Others see a beautiful friend, a loving mother, a devoted grandmother and so much more. Why? Because others see "the inside" too. When we look at photographs of ourselves we only see the outside. In my photoshoots, I help your "insides" shine through on the outside so that you can see yourself as others see you. Because feeling beautiful radiates from the inside out. ✨ If you need to feel beautiful, contact me today to find out more about Glam Sessions.

Christiansburg Va Portrait Photographer specializing in Glamour and Headshots for Women.  A Glam Session is a magazine style photoshoot for the everyday woman by FiftyCentLove Photographie in Christiansburg Virginia Let's take a peek at what's it like during a photoshoot with me. In the first picture I’m showing Becky how to pose on the wall. I’m telling her to turn 45 degrees from me, lift up her toe and bend her knee and place hand on her thigh. This gives her more of an hour-glass shape and looks relaxed and not stiff.  Debbie Smith, photographer, showing client how to pose in her studio in downtown Christiansburg, Va In the picture below, I’m telling Marie to twirl side to side and throw the wrap. I don’t have a shot of me actually doing this, but before I had her do it I showed her exactly what to do. Then I said “Go” and while she twirls to the right, I snap, snap, snap and then I say “ok keep going, you’re doing great!, keep twirling back and forth, Yes! You got it”  Behind the scenes with Debbie Smith of FiftyCentLove Photographie at a Glam Session They are both in their 40s. Aren’t they gorgeous? Hair and Makeup by Tarah

You gotta see my new purple chair! Isn't it wonderful?!?!  Debbie Smith, photographer lounging in her new purple chair from Pier 1 for her Glamour Photography studio in Christiansburg Va I love it so much and got to use it this weekend with some new clients. I saw it in Pier 1 a few weeks ago and couldn't stop thinking about it. Have you ever seen something at the store, left, then it was in your brain for the next week or so saying "Buy me, you can pose women on it. Buy me, I promise you'll get your money's worth, Buy ME!" Haha. So I bought it and I haven't regretted it. 2. Charmaine from CharMarie Salon will be my Makeup Artist on 7/14!! I have 1 spot open on July 14th at 9:00am.

Tuesday Tip - How to use window light to take a better selfie  Christiansburg Photographer, Debbie Smith, demonstrating how to use window light to take a better selfie Picture #1 (left) 😝: I was standing with the window on my left side. Side light adds harsh shadows and shows LOTS of imperfections. Not flattering.
Picture #2 (middle) 😕: I did a 180 turn so the window was on my right side. It's darker and my eyes are dark and still shows too many imperfections that we aging women do not want to show. Picture #3 (right) 🙌: I turned directly towards the window. THIS is how to do it. The light is totally even on my face. This is called "Flat Lighting" It magically hides wrinkles, fine lines, skin texture, and sometimes pimples. This is one way I light my clients in Glam Sessions. It's flattering and it's the best way to take a selfie indoors. |
