The Art of the Selfie: Sophie's Masterclass

I’ve been watching Sophie practice selfies for the past week, and today she finally went full commitment mode in the kitchen.

The Art of the Selfie: Sophie’s Masterclass

The concentration on her face as she tried to find the perfect angle was honestly adorable - and very familiar. Like mother, like daughter, right?

The review process is crucial

The review process is where the real magic happens. I watched her delete probably fifteen photos before moving to better lighting by the window. She’s learning that natural light is everything - a lesson that took me years to master.

Finding the perfect lighting spot

Seeing her find her spot and work the angles made me realize she’s been taking notes on all my ‘candid’ morning coffee shots.

And there’s the money shot

When she finally got the one she was happy with, the genuine smile was worth all the practice shots. She’s definitely got Elena genes when it comes to knowing her good side. Marcus walked through during take number 23 and just shook his head - he knows better than to comment on our selfie process by now.
