📷 Family Posing Cheat Card 🎯 Pose Strategy Basics - Use layers/levels (standing, sitting, kneeling) to avoid everyone in one row - Encourage interaction & movement — chasing, walking, hugging bring natural emotion - Keep directions simple & playful (kids lose focus fast) - Use props or context (blanket, picnic, swing, stairs, doorway) - Alternate between posed and free play Pose Ideas & Scripts Family Tower / StackedMom & Dad stand or sit; kids stack (one on shoulders, one in arms). E.g. Dad holds the 2-year-old, Mom carries or supports the 4-year-old. Capture both close & wide. Walk & ChatWalk toward (or away from) camera holding hands. Let kids talk, laugh, look around — catch candid moments. Sitting TogetherOn blanket, steps, low wall — parents at ends, kids between. Mom leans in, Dad leans back, kids snuggle. Piggyback / Back RideEach parent gives a piggyback (4-yr on one, 2-yr on the other). Swap or mix it up. Huddle / Group HugBring everyone tight. Kids look at parents, parents at kids, or all at camera. Try overhead angle. Kid Focus with Parent FrameKids interact (play, whisper); parents stand behind framing them (slight blur or edge focus). Lift & SpinParents lift or spin kids (safely). Great for joyful expressions. Whisper / SecretWhisper something to each kid (one parent at a time). Capture their reaction, then the group moment. Line Up by Height / StepsUse stairs or steps: Dad highest, Mom next, kids descending. Slight stagger so faces all show. Play / InteractionToss leaves, bubbles, petals. Light “tickle attacks.” Parents chase kids. These often yield emotional, candid shots. Silhouette / Sunset ShotIf light allows — silhouette the family holding hands against a bright sky. 🎬 Mini “Pose Script” for Tonight Warm-Up / Looser Shots (5 min) - Ask kids for their favorite dance move or “funny face” - Walk toward camera, holding hands, chatting Structured Posed Shots (10 min) - Tower Pose - Sitting Hug - Piggyback swap - Line up steps

This is so good for anyone who wants to make more content in their world

You’ve probably heard me talk about TAYA — “They Ask, You Answer.” It’s a brilliant book and framework by Marcus Sheridan, and honestly one of the simplest ways to make your content matter. Pair it with AI, and you’ve got one of the best tools to grow your website traffic — and stay visible to both Google and AI tools like ChatGPT. Here’s how I put it into practice (and how you can too): 1. Start with real questions. Your clients are literally giving you content ideas every day. I use AI to dig into forums, Reddit threads, and niche groups to find the exact words people use when they’re stuck or searching. That’s the foundation of TAYA: answer their questions. 2. Cluster questions into big themes. Instead of writing a hundred tiny posts, I let AI help me group similar questions together into “ultimate guides.” Think long-form resources that become your go-to authority pieces. 3. Make it conversational AI can spit out headings that sound just like the way people actually ask things — which is exactly how they’ll type or say it in search. 4. Add the human layer. This is where your voice matters. I edit AI drafts to connect emotionally, what Marcus calls “teaching with trust.” It’s not about dumping facts; it’s about helping your reader feel understood. 5. Optimize smarter AI also points out what your competitors are missing, like FAQ schema, “how-to” markup, or other structured data that gets you into Google’s Featured Snippets. That’s the space where visibility lives. 6. Keep improving. The content game isn’t one-and-done. I retrain my prompts and my process based on which posts actually show up in search results. AI helps me track that, but the strategy stays simple: keep answering the right questions, the right way. The takeaway? Content in 2025 isn’t about chasing trends. It’s about clarity, trust, and answering real human questions better than anyone else. TAYA gives you the framework. AI just makes it faster.

This is super fun, we played with this last week on a AI workshop https://gemini.google.com/gem/storybook
