Tip #1

Make Yourself Comfortable

Take a start from the comfiest area of your home – your bedroom. You might not have posted pictures of you lying down on the bed because it needs enough space for the photographer to make the post-work. To make the perfect pose, use your bed and a flower vase.  If it is sent by someone special, express your happiness by looking at it lovingly and let your personal photographer capture the moment.
