20 senior picture poses for girls (standing, sitting and candid)

Natural senior pictures come from small movements: shifting weight, touching your hair, walking, laughing between frames. Angle your body slightly away from the camera, keep your hands soft and busy, and let whoever is shooting take lots of frames while you move. Here are 20 poses.

Standing

1. The angled stance. Body turned 45 degrees, weight on the back leg, face to the camera.

2. Hands in hair. One or both hands lifting the hair, eyes closed or looking away.

3. Hand on the hip, elbow back.

4. Leaning on a wall, one foot up.

5. Over the shoulder. Back to the camera, face turned.

6. Holding a jacket over the shoulder.

Sitting

7. Cross-legged on a blanket in a meadow.

8. On steps, knees together and angled, hands on knees.

9. On a fence or wall, legs dangling.

10. Lying in the grass, shot from above, hair spread out.

Movement

11. Walking towards the camera, looking down and smiling.

12. Spinning in a dress. Burst mode (swipe the shutter left and hold).

13. Hair flip.

14. Walking away, looking back.

Close-ups (2x or 3x)

15. Chin on hand.

16. Looking up through the lashes.

17. Laughing, eyes closed.

18. Flowers near the face.

With props

19. Holding a bouquet of wildflowers.

20. With your hobby: a camera, a book, an instrument, a horse.

Posing tips

• Angle, do not square up. Square shoulders look wide and stiff.
• Soft hands. Touch lightly; do not grip or press.
• Space between arms and body. It defines the waist.
• Chin slightly forward and down. Defines the jawline.
• Breathe out before each frame. Relaxed shoulders look natural.
• Camera at chest height, 2x zoom. The Portrait 2 guide puts your head on the top third line at 2x.
