These videos are amazingly helpful and I am truly enjoying them. Thank you.
I noticed that they are generally geared for average height couples who are also hae similar stature. What types of poses would you recommend for couples where there is a significant or unusual size difference?
For example, I am 5’3″ and slim, while my husband is 6’5″ and built more like a linebacker. Most of these poses would probably not work in our situation.
I also know a couple where the woman is probably 8″ TALLER than the man. I’m guessing they do not want this accentuated, but a top down/bottom up would have the reverse effect when both are in the same photo.
Thanks in advance.
