During a recent portfolio shoot, Christian brought her little sister along as moral support and so she wouldn't be alone with a photographer who is a stranger(a very good idea and one I encourage because nobody can be too careful!) So when I have someone in the studio who isn't having their picture taken, I try to find someway to have them be a part of the experience so they're not totally bored. I've photographed models with their mother, their boyfriends and their (how do the kids say it?) BFF's. These sister portraits were just fun to do at the end of the session just to keep the experience for model and chaperone light and relaxed. And they produced a couple pictures that helped me understand that posing isn't just about turn this way or that way--that the best poses are sometimes just the ones you fall into when you just hang out.
