Hi friends!

As you can tell from the title I’ll be sharing a few ways to pose with food and drinks! I did this shoot in the comfort of my own apartment, but you can also try these in public at restaurants, parks, or wherever you choose. I love food, snacking, and drinking so I’m excited to share. Enjoy!

Holding your food and/or drink while smiling off to the side

Drinking and reading a book or magazine (or staring at phone)

Holding drink while reading phone or book/magazine

Thanks for reading! I’m hoping to do more posts like these once we move, but I’m glad I had time to create this one!

Xx,

Toni
