Overview this course

POSING COURSE – The Connect and Capture Method by Becca Cannon is a practical, step‑by‑step training for photographers who want to move beyond stiff, Pinterest‑style poses and create images that feel alive. Built from Becca’s real experience working with couples, this course teaches a simple framework—Connect → Direct → Capture—so you can guide clients with confidence, cultivate genuine emotion, and walk away with galleries full of natural movement and micro‑moments.

Instead of memorizing a hundred poses you’ll forget under pressure, you’ll learn how to read the room, warm up even the shyest pair, and use prompts that spark interaction. The result is a client experience that feels effortless and fun—and photographs that look like your couples actually are: honest, playful, intimate, and unposed.

Each lesson is concise and actionable. You’ll get repeatable scripts, field‑tested prompts, and on‑shoot decision trees you can keep on your phone. Expect a curriculum that strengthens both your artistic instincts and your on‑set leadership, so sessions run smoothly and your clients leave saying, “We felt like ourselves.”

At its heart, this program is about confidence. You’ll trade awkward pauses for clear direction, replace guesswork with structure, and build a personal posing style that supports your brand—whether you shoot engagements, elopements, weddings, or lifestyle couples.

Why should you choose this course?

• A framework you can rely on. The Connect and Capture Method is not a random list of poses; it’s a repeatable system for any couple, location, or light.

• Client experience first. Learn how to make sessions feel safe and celebratory so your couples relax quickly and give you real emotion.

• Prompts over stiff posing. Use movement‑based prompts, micro‑games, and conversation cues to spark laughter, tenderness, and quiet connection.

• Confidence under pressure. Walk in with a plan: warm‑ups, flow sequences, transition cues, and contingency options for weather, crowds, or nerves.

• Creative variety fast. Build mini‑sets (pose stacks) that deliver 15–30 unique frames from one setup—ideal for storytelling and album design.

• International learner friendly. Clear, jargon‑light instruction and examples you can adapt to any culture, language, or comfort level.

• Practice tools included. Checklists, prompt banks, and rehearsal routines that help you internalize the method before you hit the location.

If you’ve ever left a session thinking, “I wish I’d directed more intentionally,” this course shows you exactly how to do that—gently, clearly, and creatively.

What You’ll Learn

1) Connect: turn strangers into collaborators

• Pre‑session trust building: inquiry to shoot—how to set expectations, share a simple wardrobe guide, and co‑design the session vibe.

• Warm‑up sequence: 10 minutes that dissolve stiffness—walk‑and‑talk, hand‑checks, breath sync, and a first laugh to break the ice.

• Emotional safety: consent cues (“Is this okay?” “Anything off‑limits?”), inclusive language, and ways to honor different comfort zones.

• Energy matching: read your couple’s baseline (playful, quiet, high‑energy) and pair it with appropriate prompts so nothing feels forced.

2) Direct: prompts that create movement and meaning

• Movement‑led cues: keep them in motion to avoid stiffness—drift and return, lead and follow, “comma then pause” timing.

• Micro‑prompts for hands and eyes: the difference between “hug” (stiff) and “circle their shoulder, pause at the wrist, rest your forehead” (authentic).

• Dialogue prompts: short questions that unlock stories (“Tell them one thing you admired this week”), followed by a capture‑worthy reaction.

• Environment as a partner: use wind, walls, stairs, furniture, and water lines to give structure and variety without breaking flow.

• Pose stacks (mini‑sets): from one anchor (e.g., back‑to‑chest), rotate through five variations in under two minutes: eyes open/closed, hands switch, micro‑turn, step in/out, whisper cue.

3) Capture: timing, angles, and the moment after the moment

• Angle discipline: top‑third headroom for intimacy, negative space for narrative, and quick reframes (wide → mid → tight) during one interaction.

• Light‑first decisions: how to position for clean skin tones, use backlight without haze, and shift couples into “pockets” of open shade on the fly.

• Reaction timing: shoot the beat after the cue—the exhale, the grin, the softened shoulders—where authenticity lives.

• Sequencing for story: openers, context frames, details, hero portraits, and closers so galleries feel cinematic and complete.

4) Prompt banks you can use tomorrow

• Playful: “Walk toward me shoulder‑to‑shoulder and bump hips on three… now keep going.”

• Tender: “Hold hands and breathe together; on the exhale, touch foreheads, no rush.”

• Confident: “Stand side‑by‑side, both facing me; now each turn your chin slightly toward the other—own the frame.”

• Movement: “Spin slowly until you face each other, then stop with hands still connected.”

• Quiet: “Close eyes, three slow breaths; open them and say the first word that comes to mind.”

• Hands: “Trace the outline of their jaw like you’re memorizing it; pause at the corner of the smile.”
  (You’ll get many more variations categorized by mood, energy, and environment.)

5) Solving common posing challenges

• “We’re awkward.” Use side‑by‑side anchors first; no face‑to‑face pressure. Keep cues simple and celebrate small wins.

• Height differences. Create natural height parity with stairs, leaning, seated options, or one‑knee setups—no hunched shoulders.

• Stiff hands. Give hands a job (pockets, fabric, hair, necklace) and coach micro‑touches that look intentional.

• Blank expressions. Ask tiny, specific questions that produce micro‑reactions; shoot during the answer.

• Busy locations. Shoot in‑between moments while walking; use foregrounds and framing to isolate your couple from crowds.

• Windy or bright sun. Turn with the light, create shadow with bodies, and lean into motion rather than fighting it.

6) Building confident leadership on set

• Voice and cadence: speak calmly, at conversational speed; one cue at a time; pause to let moments unfold.

• Positive reinforcement: narrate what’s working (“That shoulder line is perfect—stay there”) so couples trust your eye.

• Managing tempo: alternate high‑energy prompts with stillness to prevent fatigue and widen emotional range.

• Respect and consent: model professionalism; always offer opt‑outs and adjustments.

7) Crafting variety without overwhelm

• The Rule of Threes: for each setup, capture three distances and three emotions to multiply storytelling options fast.

• Micro‑location sweeps: squeeze 10–15 frames from a doorway, a patch of shade, or a panel of light by shifting angles, heights, and hand positions.

• Props and layers: jackets, hats, flowers, or coffee cups as connection tools, not distractions; keep the couple the subject.

8) Practice plans that actually work

• Solo rehearsals: practice prompts out loud; time your sequences; film your hand gestures to make direction smooth.

• Friend sessions: 20‑minute drills with a couple of friends—one location, two light conditions, three prompt sets.

• Debrief loop: after each session, mark three wins and three refinements; build a personal playbook you’ll carry into every job.

9) Editing and delivery that respect the story

• Cohesion over filters: keep skin tones true; avoid heavy stylization that fights the emotion you worked to create.

• Narrative curation: deliver a rhythm—open with a strong connection frame, build with motion, close with stillness.

• Client guidance: provide a short “what to expect” note for print rights, album picks, and sharing etiquette to protect the experience.

10) Professionalism that elevates your brand

• Session flow outline: arrival → orientation → warm‑up → core sets → cool‑down.

• Clear boundaries: gentle scripts for crowds, timelines, or unsolicited opinions on set.

• Inclusive communication: small language shifts that make every couple feel welcome and seen.

Who Should Take This Course?

• Wedding and elopement photographers who want galleries that feel cohesive, emotive, and editorial without stiff posing.

• Lifestyle and couples photographers seeking prompts that unlock natural interaction indoors and outdoors.

• Newer photographers who feel the “awkward phase” at the start of sessions and want a reliable warm‑up and flow.

• Experienced shooters ready to refine directing, elevate client experience, and increase variety per location.

• Brand‑minded creatives who want their posing style to become a signature that clients recognize and recommend.

• International photographers who need adaptable prompts and a respectful approach that travels well across cultures.

If you value images that are honest over images that are merely arranged, this course gives you the tools to make that shift—session after session.
