I always surprise people when I ask them to fake laugh. It’s not something everyone looks good doing, but I try it anyway if I haven’t gotten a ton of emotion out of the person yet (and because attempting to fake laugh almost always results in real laughs).
I didn’t have to tell Tyler to fake laugh once – we were laughing and joking around with each other the whole time. It’s so much easier for both photographer and client when the two are friends.
It’s definitely senior picture season – I’ve scheduled three seniors in the next week. Contact me if you’re interested!
