When it comes to portrait sessions, having models pose on a cube can be a real game-changer! It’s a great way to add depth and context to your shots. By experimenting with how the model sits or leans on the cube, you can create a range of different moods, from relaxed and thoughtful to bold and glamorous. Sitting poses are also perfect for highlighting natural curves, especially in maternity or boudoir shoots, giving the photos a warm and intimate feel. And don’t forget to play around with angles and lighting – they can completely transform the look of your portraits, making them truly stand out!

Here are some tips to remember when you pose your models sitting on the CHAIR:
- Arch the Back: Encourage the model to gently arch her back to showcase her baby bump. This creates a flattering curve and emphasizes her pregnancy silhouette.
- Soft Hands: Remind the model to keep her hands relaxed and gentle. Avoid clenched fists, which can appear tense in photos. Soft hand placements add a delicate touch to the pose.
- Straight Toes: Keep the model’s toes pointed or straightened to elongate the legs and maintain a graceful posture. This contributes to a more elegant and flattering pose.
If you’re interested in exploring more posing techniques and learning how to use studio light to showcase your pregnant models in the best and most creative way, join us for a ONLINE CREATIVE MATERNITY PHOTOGRAPHY ACADEMY.
But if you more up to personal learning experience – let me invite you to in person workshops. These workshops are available in various locations.

TIP: open this link on your phone, screenshot the below images. Create folder: POSING on your phone and save all your posing charts in one place so you can have easy access to them when you need them on your maternity or portrait session.
Alternatively: print the pictures and attach them to your mood board – mine hangs close to the place, where I stand while takich shots during my maternity sessions.
