Posing 101: Advanced Techniques

Yesterday’s guitar performance got Sophie feeling her main character energy, so naturally Elena seized the teaching moment.

Posing 101: Advanced Techniques

shows the master class in session - Elena demonstrating her signature ‘effortlessly casual’ pose while Sophie takes mental notes.

Posture lesson in progress

captures the hands-on instruction phase. Elena’s adjusting Sophie’s shoulders and explaining the importance of angles and lighting. I love watching these two together - Sophie pretends to be embarrassed by her mom’s confidence, but she’s clearly absorbing every lesson.

Student becoming the master

shows Sophie practicing independently, and honestly? She’s a natural. That Hartwell main character gene is STRONG.

Like mother, like daughter

is the money shot - mother and daughter striking identical poses, both absolutely nailing it. Elena’s created a monster and she couldn’t be prouder.

Watching from behind the camera, I’m realizing I need to up my photography game. These two are going to demand Oscar-worthy documentation of their daily looks.
