Modeling Poses - headshots


The well known - Pouty/Moody go away glance.


The Celebrity - Look away and they can't see your beautiful face.

The Look Down - look at the floor/ground/carpet so that your eyes don't show.

The Look Up - only achieved by having your photographer have 15 live birdies dancing on her head.

The Full on Mug Shot - this look is only achieved by having the photographer dangle a whole leg of lamb in her teeth, while coated in a layer of fancy feast.
My mum says sometimes it takes a bit of work to get a nice photo of me. I don't know what she is talking about, they're all great.

  1. There's no such thing as a bad shot of you, Poppy! Although I especially like the ones of you looking at the camera so I can see your pretty face.

  3. Strangely, my mum says exactly the same thing. I don't know what she's talking about either.

    Your photos always look good Poppy.

  8. Lovely pictures as always, Poppy. We don't know why the beans think it's such a chore. (Maybe because we hate the flashy box thing and run away when we see it pointed at us? Hmm....)

  9. The last two photos are absolutely lovely. Have you seen that new invention that responds to photo flashes by making a burst of light itself, for celebrities? We want one of those!

  16. Those are great pictures - I love the looking down shot - very coy! And I am impressed your mom only had to have a leg of lamb in her teeth and be coated in Fancy Feast to get that last shot - if my kitties aren't looking I don't think even that could get them to pose!

  21. I hope you got some treats after that hard day of modeling ... not easy to have every hair in place and be ready for 'that' shot ...

    Next time ... if you feel like it ... a smile too ... or was that it in the last photo

  28. That was very thoughtful of your Mum to douse herself in Fancy Feast! Did you eat it later?

  29. Oh, Poppy, tell your mum that's just crazy-talk! My photographer complains that she can't get pictures of me "doing" anything. . .

    Tell your mum ANY picture of you is a special and good picture!
