Feel Awkward in Front of the Camera? Here's How We Fix That at EW Images

we start with a conversation, not a camera

Before we even pick up a camera, we take the time to get to know you. What’s the session for? What do you want your photos to say about you? Is there anything you’re nervous about?

This casual, pre-session conversation helps us break the ice and align on your goals. It’s also the perfect time for us to give you tips on wardrobe, posing, and anything else that helps ease your nerves.

we guide you every step of the way

You don’t need to know how to pose. You don’t even need to know your “good side.” That’s our job.

Throughout your session, we’ll give you clear, easy-to-follow direction on everything from posture to facial expression. We’ve worked with clients of all shapes, sizes, and comfort levels—so no matter where you’re starting, we know how to help you shine.

we use light and angles that flatter

Feeling awkward is often about feeling unsure of how you look—and nothing builds confidence like seeing a great photo of yourself. At EW Images, we use professional lighting techniques and flattering angles to bring out your best features and downplay anything you might feel self-conscious about.

You’ll get to see a few shots during the session too, so you know we’re on the right track.

we create a comfortable, judgement-free environment

Whether you’re in our studio or out on location, we aim to create a chill, no-pressure vibe. We laugh, we play music, we keep things light so you can just be yourself. Our sessions are designed to feel more like hanging out than a high-stakes photoshoot.

When you’re relaxed, it shows in your photos. And when you feel good, you look good—period.

we take our time (so you don't feel rushed)

No one feels confident when they’re being rushed. That’s why we build in enough time during each session to go at your pace. If you need a moment to shake off the nerves, fix your hair, or just breathe—that’s totally okay. This time is yours.

Clients consistently tell us that our sessions feel relaxed and easy, and that makes all the difference in how their portraits turn out.

we show you how amazing you really are

We don’t just snap and go. Part of the EW Images experience is showing you sneak peeks along the way so you can see how great you look. Sometimes all it takes is seeing that first fire photo to realize, “Wait—I actually can do this.”

That little spark of confidence? That’s what we’re after.

we capture the real you (not a forced version)

Some photographers rely on stiff poses and cookie-cutter setups. That’s not our vibe. We want to capture your real personality—the little laugh, the subtle smile, the glance that says more than a pose ever could.

That’s why we take time to ease you in, keep the mood light, and make space for genuine connection.

you don't have to be a model to love your photos

At EW Images, our mission is to make everyday people feel like they belong in front of the camera. We’ve built our entire portrait experience around comfort, confidence, and authenticity.

So if you’re someone who says, “I’m just not photogenic”—let us prove you wrong (in the best way possible).
