Relax your face and jaw before the shot
Take a deep breath and exhale slowly
Think of something genuinely happy
Keep your lips slightly parted or softly closed
Lift the corners of your mouth gently
Smize by engaging your eyes
Avoid forcing a wide smile unless it feels natural
Practice different smiles in a mirror
Angle your face slightly toward the camera
Keep your posture open and confident
Relax your shoulders
Blink just before the photo if needed
Hold the smile briefly and naturally
Let the photographer give you a cue
Smile with your whole face, not just your mouth
