Magic moment

 

This picture is by Lola Melani. I have multiple clients wanted the same pose. However, I told my clients that I can put them in that pose but we may not be able to get the same "feel." The picture captured the "moment" between those two couple and we may not be able to capture the same. We can try but we need to go with the "flow."

So I would start my clients with the similar pose and then I let the magic happen. Here is an example on how I like to let it "flow" and let the pose "evolve."

So my advice is: don't fixate on a particular pose. Just let it evolve and watch for the magic moment(s). Keep moving and shifting. We may not be able to have picture with that exact pose but we will have good pictures of that magic moment.
