Welcome back to another episode of The Photographer’s Couch! I’m your host, Megan Joli, a portrait photographer based in North Carolina.

Today we’re diving into a topic that so many photographers and clients bump into: Pinterest boards. We love them, we hate them, and sometimes… they set us up for unrealistic expectations.

• Shows me the vibe they’re drawn to.
• Helps me understand what locations, poses, and moods inspire them.
• Gives me insight into their personality before the session even begins.

Especially with high school seniors, seeing a board of poses and looks can help me gauge if they’re shy and reserved or bold and adventurous.
