Real Photographer Testimonials
Hear how Amie and Raymond are using Speed Posing to book more jobs and get creative!
"The first time I used it was on an extended family session. I thought it's gonna be about 12 people and then it ended up being 22 adults and 6 kids. So I basically took the idea behind speed posing and put it into play - built up and build down like we're taught in the course and it worked beautifully! And in that session, I was referred three times from the people before they even saw the image."
- AMIE
"I tried this in my most recent wedding this past weekend and I am telling you I'm gonna incorporate this into my work all the time... all the time, because I will be able to get 71 shots, 71 usable portrait photos in exactly 10 minutes."
- RAYMOND

"I struggle with lack of confidence with I know they are relying on me to come up with good poses."
"I freeze up and start to worry if they think I am doing a good job."
"I lose confidence with couple who aren't naturals in front of the camera, if there's a tight timeline, or with really large bridal parties."
"I worry that I'll draw a blank, they'll sense my lack of posing skills and it will show in their expressions."
"I'm behind my camera and my subjects are staring blankly at me... I have no idea how to proceed."

"I purchased speed posing and got to use the tools yesterday at my wedding. It worked perfectly since I only had 15 minutes to finish first look, groom portraits, bride portraits and bride/groom. I got it all finished in time! Thank you times a million for making this course!"

"I don't know if you'll ever see this but I purchased your "Speed Posing" course and it was the best investment.
I used it for a wedding I covered and midway through the wedding the entire reception gave me round-of-applause!! - appreciating me!
This was the bride's mother (that hired me) said (pay attention so some key words/phrases):
"Chima, thank you. You have created a work of art.
This is more wonderful than I imagined – the beautiful record of a few magical hours we’ll relive and treasure for years to come.
You were the stage manager and coach of the wedding – the person who made it run gracefully.
An integral part of the fun, too. Knowing we were in your gifted and capable hands, we all relaxed into the joy of Margaret and Michael’s day. I will have fun picking out photos to print, and sharing the link with family and friends."
Just wanted to say a huge THANK YOU - your course made all the difference.
Not just posing...
Why SPEED Posing?
- Most photographers pose well when they have an hour of time. But being able to pose in 10 minutes or less will save you when schedule is tight or running late.
- When you don’t have enough time it causes anxiety which leads to brain farts, disconnect from clients and hindering creativity.
- Posing needs to be easy and fast to keep your clients interested.
- Maximize quality images from a session when you have a short amount of time.
- Jump in confidently when timelines are tight and know how to get what you need quickly.
- You need the ability to move quickly while still accommodating everyone and getting good images out of the session.
- You need a strategy to vary the poses, angles and crops without slowing down.
- You have to work through the family photo list quickly while getting them to look natural in poses.
- You need to get quality, creative images from any session that are more than just “fine” for the client, but ones you can be proud of too.
- Having a plan that speeds up the staple photos means you get more time for creativity and exploration.

"Incredible Speed Posing course! I actually photograph business clients (not weddings) but this is so incredibly helpful for any portraits. I have stressed so much over "moving for new locations" and this course has taught me that is not necessary. Efficiency, light, wide apertures and good direction are my key take aways. Thank you Vanessa. "

"I just want to say thank you!! I recently purchased the speed posing course. The timing was ironic. Yesterday was a tight timeline and our one hour ceremony was dragged into an hour and a half! Leaving our 45 minute formal photo time now at 15 minutes. I was watching your videos all morning when I was getting ready. It allowed me to handle this ridiculous time frame like a Queen! Lots of photos from that 15 minutes. Thank you, again!"
