Book a yoga photo shoot with a professional yoga photographer! No need to worry about setting the timer on your iPhone and running back and forth to check if you captured the perfect selfie shot or not.
No more yoga selfies! Don't be afraid. Breathe, make shapes, and let the photographer guide you through your session as they capture your beautiful shapes.
Practice the yoga poses you picked for the photo shoot for a few weeks before the photo session.
Pro Tip: Try to hold your breath for a few seconds while holding your pose. This will help to maintain your pose while the photographer takes a few pictures.
Choose a couple of outfits (3-5) and props that reflect your personality. Bring water and snacks to keep hydrated and energized.
Pro Tip: Choose solid, neutral, or muted colors for your outfit. They blend well with any environment. Bright colors tend to reflect on the skin. Get creative and bring a dress and a pair of jeans.
I recommend any pose that you are comfortable doing. Also, I encourage you to try out new and more difficult poses.
Favorite photogenic yoga poses:
• One-Legged Wheel Pose (Eka Pada Urdhva Dhanurasana)
• Dancer Pose (Natarajasana)
• King Pigeon Pose (Eka Pada Rajakapotasana)
Follow and study other yogis that you love and inspire you on their social media yoga accounts. Save the images that you want to use into a collection for your yoga photoshoot ideas. Bring your list of yoga poses to assure your shoot goes smoothly.
Yes! Definitely bring a yoga friend to your photo session for support. I do offer a discount if they decide they want to shoot with you.
Bonus: They can help with any props and yoga poses.
Ask your photographer to size and format them for social media posts.
Instagram Size & Dimensions
Horizontal Posts (16:9) - 1080px Minimum
Vertical Posts (4:5) - 1080px X 1350px
Square Posts (1:1) - 1080px X 1080px
Instagram Stories (9:16) - 1080px X 1920px
Personally, I use 3000px instead of 1080px for my clients. It’s convenient to have one set of images that you can use on any platform and send to get printed and framed. However, I do keep Instagram Story Posts at 1080x1920.
Pro Tip: Be sure there is enough space around portrait shots to accommodate Instagram's crop.
