Dear couples, this Valentine's Day, let's drop sweet couple pics on Instagram, MINUS the awkward vibe! Follow these tricks for cute poses with bae! 

1-  Side Profile Check

Some ladies might not be photo-ready when they're bare-faced. But, when the lighting & mood is right, you'll need that picture for the Gram.

Keep your side profile mysterious as so:

- Pretend to kiss his ear & hold the pose as his arms are wrapped around you.

- Or, bury your face into his neck while he looks into the camera.

- Or, stand facing the camera. But, look away behind you as he gazes at you. 

- Or, let your hair cover up your face! Works when he lifts you off the ground & your face is angled down towards his. 

2- Add Movements

By moving around, there's a natural flow in your pose. Your photo becomes lively & bright instantly.

 Try these steps:

- Lift your foot behind with your arms wrapped around his neck. 

- Or, get a friend behind you to snap a shot of you & bae walking while holding hands. 

- Or, he can spin you around with his arm farther from the camera. A flattering skirt will make your twirl more adorable.

3- Don't Love Him

At least, not too much in your poses! Ladies, we get that you love your man but don't lean over & snuggle too much like a hunchback. Your posture becomes unattractive.

Instead, do this:

- Stand tall & a little apart from his body. Hold hands to keep it intimate.

- Or, turn your back to the camera & angle your body 45° away. Wrap one arm around his neck & look back over your shoulder. 

  He can wrap his arms around your frame & gaze at you/ the camera. 

- Or, go for the 'bear hug' when he wants to hold you in his arms. 

4- Mask Your Height

If the height difference is too extreme, it will be difficult to look natural & comfortable with poses.

Here's how to make up for it:

- Add distance between both of you. Let the tinier one stand a feet apart or forward while y'all hold hands. 

- Or, let the guy crouch in a swag pose while the girl stands on his side.

- Or, try a sitting-down pose while holding hands. But, make sure to sit up tall. Don't hunch. 

We keep this love in a photograph. -Ed Sheeran
