For my new family photography podcast, TWiP Family, I interviewed Jesh De Rox.
He teaches photographers how to create spaces where the people they are photographing are feeling amazing. So, they look amazing in the photos.
Before the interview, I tried out some his simple ideas for helping people go beyond the camera smile into joyful moments.
Here are a few I talked about in the interview.

Jump Three Times:
After talking to Jesh, I tried what he calls, Same Time. I asked the people I was photographing to try to say the same color at the same time.
With this one, I asked Duncan to whisper something in his brother’s ear.
I’ve been surprised by how easy it is to get people to go past the camera smile… when I asked the right questions.
I hope you listen to the interview with Jesh De Rox. If you give any of his ideas a try, share your photos. I’d love to see if it works for you.
You can listen to the show on iTunes. Or on the This Week in Photo website.
I’m so happy I found you again, Jennifer! I’ll definitely be checking out your podcasts and these neat ideas!
These are wonderful! I love the idea of “invitations” instead of poses and stiff smiles. So much more fun for everyone!
