What do I do with my hands?
This is THE #1 question that almost all my clients ask about.
“Where do my hands go?”
“Is it weird that they’re tense and I suddenly don’t know how to move them?”
“WHAT ARE HANDS?!”
Don’t worry, I know just what to do! Here are my top 5 go to hand prompts:
1 . Pockets are your friends
If you have pockets LET’S USE THEM! My first go-to is always putting the awkward hands in pockets!
HOWEVER! I need you to stick your little thumb out! 👍🏼
Why? Sometimes nerves can make hands bunch into fists while in your pockets, which look even more awkward. So when in doubt, Thumb Out!
2. Reach for a hand to hold
The best part about taking photos with your partner, chosen/family, bestie, or even fur baby is that you have someone there doing this with you! Take their hand and lead them somewhere, or hold their hands to spin them around!
3. Create a triangle
What the hell does that mean? I know, it sounds weird.
What I mean is by simply doing something like running your fingers through your hair, or even putting your hands in your pocket can create a triangle with your arm!
4. A little sprucing
You look absolutely amazing, and nothing about you needs to change. Something we can ‘pretend’ to do is adjust a piece of clothing like a cuff on a dress shirt, or playing with the fabric of a dress.
5., Do the weird or experimental thing
Who’s here to tell you not to? Not me! Feel inspired to dance, or place your arms/hands where ever the fuck you want? DO IT!
