What’s your most flattering pose?
My go-to flattering pose is shot straight on with my feet crossed, and one shoulder slightly higher than the other. I let my arms fall naturally (or put one hand on my waist). I also lean forward a smidgen if I want to angle my tummy away from the camera. It’s done with ease while giving my body an hourglass shape.

Any tips for how to pose to disguise a tummy?
There are so many tricks that can be conjured up to hide a tummy during bathing suit season. I’m sure the list is endless. I always have a great sheer or crochet mini-dress cover-up, or an over-sized scarf to tie around my upper waist like a skirt. Now that high-waisted bikinis are on trend, you could rock that look too!

What’s your #1 tip for taking a flattering swimsuit photo?
Realize that the way the curves of your body flow is going to make or break the photo–so accentuate them!
