I love working with young people. It's a generation used to taking pictures and lots of selfies.  But let's face it, it can feel pretty scary to get that black box right up in your face and yet remain calm, relaxed and looking natural. It takes practice, lots of practice to know what works in front of the camera and what doesn't.  Adding props is a great way to naturally have your hands do something and therefore look more comfortable. I still always take a few moments before starting to go over some basic posing.  Simone was awesome! I think secretly she got some good laughs on my behalf while I was trying to give her some visual concepts of what do and how to turn. Needless to say, I didn't look half as cute and adorable while walking across the bridge while doing the "runway walk" or sniffing the flowers, as when she did it.
