I’m very insecure about my smile especially after i got braces and i tend to look awkward when i smile in pictures so this helped me to smile better in photos. thank you so much
Aww I'm so glad to hear that this vid helped you. Thank YOU for watching and for commenting. I had braces growing up as well and think it is the #1 best investment haha can't wait for you to rock your smile during and after your braces come off!!
That is one wat of looking at it. However most state i hear couple of times... i dont know to smile. I knew from a point that smiles is genuinely from the eyes but this is much educational. Thanks for sharing. 🇧🇪
Yep. Just recently realized I don't smile a lot and that affects my interactions with others. Also my face literally strains when I have to smile. The sensation feels weird in my muscles.
I came here cause... In the last years I hate how I come in photos... I looked at my pictures from years ago and did try to smile like that... I couldn't... I can't do it. I used to be so sweet and natural... Now my smile it's forced and.... Ugly and makes me look ugly or I see myself like so.... And took a moment and asked myself "who stole my smile that I can't have it anymore??"......
Yeah Finally~ She is the one who taught me how to smile when taking pictures back in 2014. Was it Koba(??) the 순두부 restaurant. It was so awkward and shy for me to smile on camera because Koreans are not used to, but Katrina and Tania always made me genuinely smile on camera. By the time I left, I was no longer shy ☺️ and actually I had a presentation in college about how I have been changed in many ways through studying abroad , and I cut in some pictures to show how my smile have changed. It’s ALL thanks to Katrina. Thank you Kat and Miss you so much
Daheeee!!! T_T I love and miss you and your beautiful smile so so much hehe thank you for your comment 🥰 It means so much to me. I know you've been wanting to see this video for years :))
every time I watch your vids, I always thought that you have the most genuine and contagious smile :') I looked back at my pics and started smiling at myself in the mirror for the past few years and those are definitely tried and true methods LOL. everything in this vid is on point!
That skit made me laugh and the video was very helpful, because I get nervous when people take my pictures and in turn my smile looks fake even if I am having a good time. So I will practice these tips, thank you very much!!
@@katrinastacie i didn't think you would see this but hii!! i love your vibe and your smile is so contagious. you r so pretty. the video with your mom made me smile so hard it was adorable. you made my day
@@bruisedvi0let hehe I read all my comments! T_T and aww your comment made MY day. thank you so much for watching and for leaving such a sweet comment :")
I was smiling the whole time throughout this video and my face hurts lmao, but on a serious note I have braces and it makes me insecure abt my smile every time. Most of all...my friends make fun of me, when I show my teeth bc of braces but this video helped me a lot to overcome it! thank you so much
Awww I am so happy to hear this 💛 😊 I truly believe braces are one of the best investments my parents made on me! I can’t wait for you to get them off.. but in the meantime, I hope you will smile proudly even with them on! You got this ~
I'm a cosplayer, and for whatever reason whenever I try to take a picture where I'm smiling in cosplay, I get this awkward "deer-in-the-headlights" sort of look, which is especially frustrating because I really enjoy cosplaying bubby, cheerful characters. Thanks for the tips, they seem like they'll really help to practice my smile for photos!
I have the same problem. Something I have found works is getting someone that makes you laugh to take the photos. Ive gotten amazing natural photos since I started doing that
Heyy!! I found this video and I had to click on it, because you look very friendly and kind. The video also shows that you definitely want to help people in a good way. 🤗🤗 I hope the tips will help and thank you!
Thank you so much for this! I have a Dance Recital coming up and we always do pictures before it. Every other year I feel like my smile is fine but this year it just seems off. This really did help me, so thank you again!
Tis destiny Katrina 🙂if you'd made this vid. 4 yrs ago I would have missed it. Recently into photography & challenged by the topic. You have an entertaining delivery style & a gr8 SOH. The detail about duchenne & non duchenne smiles, the muscles involved, the tips etc are ever so helpful. Thank you. 🙏👍📷
I really want to try and change my smile. I do actually have a very duchene smile, but I want to change it up to look prettier. I use the right muscles, but squeeze my eyes way too much, causing closed eyes and extreme wrinkling around the eyes. So I will use your tips to try to keep my eyes open when smiling. During your video I already found out that my smile changed after childhood, making my eyes wrinkly (only when smiling) and my cheeks seem to have lost there natural dimple in my new, uglier smile. So I just need to reinvent my old smile!
For some odd reason when I smile for pictures, especially birthday pictures, I often twitch around my eye area. Thus, making my eyes and smile look awkward.
Wow Dear Catrina Thank you so much. I really liked how you are so comfortable and friendly and I wish you to be happy all your life long😍😍😍🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💓💓💓 Thank youuuu
We went on a schl trip and we clicked so many pictures and all my frnds looks so pretty and natural and i look like a creep and ugly..i feel so insecure that i wore a mask all the time
Really laughing While Watching the Video and wondering what you said to do and imagine myself I would do it as you are doing 😂🤣🤣😂 Your Video İs The Reason Of My Smile Thanks For Making Such A Content
I'm very insecure about my smile, my friends told me my smile is fake so many times they thought I'm so attitude....I try my best but I'm so insecure about my shape of my face , I have round face but my chin is kinda a long when it expand, basically I felt so ugly.,🤧
Aww I’m sorry that they said that and made you feel more insecure. Personally, I feel like when I see someone smiling genuinely, all I can see is the authentic joy on their face rather than focusing on their features. We are definitely the most critical of ourselves! 💛😭
I’m such an awkward turtle when other people take photos of me but I can do legit photo shoots just fine o___O I need to work on group photos more and when my friends or family take pics of me cuz I’m always awkward with those kinda photos if it makes sense
OMG thank you😄 I learned one thing immediately and that is to notice how my muscles feel when I smile/laugh genuine. For instance the muscles at the very end of my eyelids must be relaxed.
Im the type of person that smiles by just widenning my lips. No teeth. While the rest of my family is photogenic. If i show my teeth they are sort of shifted?
aww I hope you can embrace your dimples and smile! My face shape also makes my face look bigger, esp. in certain angles.. but hopefully you can find an angle that makes you feel good! Also, having a bigger face isn't bad either! I think the most important thing is that you feel and look joyful - your smile will shine brighter than anything else
I am insecure about my looks in picture. I don't know why I feel like I look pretty in the mirror and selfies but when it comes to back camera pictures and video calls, I don't feel pretty... specially my smile and eyes looks different than the mirror, selfies and real life...I don't know what to do about this...🙂.
My face also looks rounder when I smile :) you can also focus on angling yourself in your favorite way! I like my left side best so if you see in this video and most of my pics, I’m always showing the left side of my face. 😊
I hope that you can grow to like it.. I think the most beautiful part of a smile is when it’s genuine and shows that you’re feeling joy 😄 and that may mean that we look a bit rounder… but it’s ok :)💞

Which Katrina was your fave? 😜
- Photographer Katrina
- Badass Katrina
- Blue Ballerina Katrina
- Conceited Katrina
- Shy Yellow Katrina
- "I hate picture day" Katrina
- Smiling Katrina
I feel photographer Katrina's struggle - I audibly lol'd at the "oof" after Conceited Katrina's photo hahaha
Kathy Lam LOL Kathy!! Haha thank you for watching 😄 glad it made you laugh hahahah
Watching this on the bus to picture day
Love that!!! Hope you like how your photo turns out 🤗
Your smile has to be genuine period. When I fake a smile in pictures, I always look distorted and bad.

Okay, now share with us how to get those godly dimples

Thank you so much :')
i have one good smile on a candid photo and to this day i cant recreate that nice smile :(
I’m such an awkward turtle when other people take photos of me but I can do legit photo shoots just fine o___O I need to work on group photos more and when my friends or family take pics of me cuz I’m always awkward with those kinda photos if it makes sense
Very nice smiles. 🥰
learned from the best ;)
Your smile is working on me 😍
I like you voice and the way u r speaking more than your smile
You are so funny!
LOL thank youuu richard! :D
My annoyance is my face looks round when I smile
Mine too! But I think it’s also a marker of genuine joy :) maybe turning/angling your face to the side can help a bit
OMG thank you😄 I learned one thing immediately and that is to notice how my muscles feel when I smile/laugh genuine. For instance the muscles at the very end of my eyelids must be relaxed.
Nice
Im the type of person that smiles by just widenning my lips. No teeth. While the rest of my family is photogenic. If i show my teeth they are sort of shifted?
I cant do this bc I cant look in the mirror without crying
practice makes better : ) and crying is okay as well. you got this!
Hey I too have dimples but when I smile for a photo they make my face look so big... Why so?! I am very insecure about my smie and face
aww I hope you can embrace your dimples and smile! My face shape also makes my face look bigger, esp. in certain angles.. but hopefully you can find an angle that makes you feel good! Also, having a bigger face isn't bad either! I think the most important thing is that you feel and look joyful - your smile will shine brighter than anything else
If your teeth are as wide as your smile that helps. Mine aren’t especially as I’ve aged
I am insecure about my looks in picture. I don't know why I feel like I look pretty in the mirror and selfies but when it comes to back camera pictures and video calls, I don't feel pretty... specially my smile and eyes looks different than the mirror, selfies and real life...I don't know what to do about this...🙂.
