Tip 2: Belly Button To Hip
This is such a great pose to help the ladies look slimmer! Have the guy stand straight on towards you and then have the lady put her belly button to his hip bone! This one I use often!
Helpful Tips:
You can have the lady turn her shoulders in to the guy and have her look slightly over her shoulder for a really flattering look
Have the guy pull her in like a belt. It will look super romantic and make her look slimmer.
Have the guy put on hand in his pocket so he has something to do with his hands!
