DID YOU KNOW…
Michelle is a Master of Posing?
Specializing in photographing women for the past 15 years has allowed Michelle to master the art of posing in the most flattering ways.
From the hundreds of women photographed, Michelle has developed 8 signature poses.
These poses create a flawless hourglass figure, and her posing techniques used will naturally slim the body to look at least 10 lbs lighter.
Her signature poses eliminate any "double chins,” and you will be expertly instructed from your head down to your toes.
Don’t worry - Michelle will also guide you on where to put your hands.
You may have noticed that all of the Michelle Citrin Studio clients look like models or that they look really comfortable in front of the camera.
That's all thanks to Michelle’s master posing instruction. Our clients are attorneys, doctors, financial professionals, authors, realtors, and women in business—regular women who were nervous before their photoshoot, just like you.
We know you HATE being photographed, so we invite you to see how different the Michelle Citrin Studios experience is when being photographed by a Master of Posing.
