What advice do you give couples to help them feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera, especially if they're not used to being photographed?

In many instances clients express concern about not knowing how to pose or not being photogenic. One of the things that puts a client's mind at ease is photographer's confidence. Just letting them know that I will pose and direct and guide the session is enough to put them at ease.

I also like to take an experiential approach to photo sessions. Meaning the session is often centered around the client doing something. We also have conversation while shooting instead of resting solely on posing and prompts.

Love the idea of an experiential approach!
