Cute Best Friend Poses for 2

Let’s start cute because having an adorable shot with their best friend for life is a must!

So if you’re more of the cheesy, sweet, and adorable kind - check these out! Here are some cute best friend poses for you and your bestie to rock!

1. The shoulder-on-shoulder top pose

First things first - make sure this cute pose is shot from the top! Lay on the ground with your bestie. Lay on opposite sides and rest your heads on each other’s shoulders. Look straight at the lens as the picture is being taken from a top angle. Here’s your cute bff shot that whispers “You’re my support and my safe place to rest on!”

2. One from a lower angle

If high angles are not your cup of tea, go for a lower one! A more creative and still cute bff shot is one captured from a lower angle while you and your bestie stand. Make sure you look down to the lens while opposing one another. A bonus tip is to hold hands to make it extra sweet.

3. Beauty maintenance together

Now, what is cuter than two besties having some self-love time together? So if you’re the “I love to take care of you” kind of friend, you’ll like this idea. Lay down with your bestie while you both put cucumber slices on your eyes. Choose to have this photo shot from the top or the side.

4. Casual and cute

For a really cute outcome, choose to be spontaneous with your bff! Sit in nature while doing something you both love. It can either be sipping on wine, painting, reading a book, writing, or taking some pictures. Simply be authentic and yourselves, with one another. Have your photographer capture casual and spontaneous moments of your sisterhood or brotherhood!

5.The spontaneous smile pose

You can still shoot a spontaneous, incredibly cute bff pose while not being too elaborate! An idea is to simply stand or sit as you and your bestie proceed with making each other laugh! You’re besties, I’m sure you’ll know exactly what to say to start a giggly moment. So say, or do that thing that will spark that funny moment and let your photographer shoot this cute, fun, and authentic bonding instant.

6. Dare to dance?

Do you dare to dance, with your BFF, in front of the camera, to have this moment forever captured in time? If your answer is yes, then go ahead and have the most fun with your bestie. Put on that song you both adore so much and get crazy as if no one is watching (get everyone to watch later!)

Cute is not everyone’s cup of tea! So if you don’t care too much about being adorable, but prefer being aesthetic and cool, we’ve got you!

Here are some best friend poses for the stylish duo who truly wants to stand out.

7. The personalized b.f.f. pic

Stylish equals personalized! So for this pic, truly get out your coolest personalities! Are you and your bff skaters? Maybe surfers? Maybe dancers? Whatever you love doing the most, show it through this pose. For example, pose with your skateboards and your favorite urban outfits.

8. Best friend’s picnic pose

Picnics are so aesthetic! They are also a great way to bond with your bff! So if you want a stylish photo, here’s a tip! Dress up in countryside-style, floral outfits.

9. The urban pose

If you’re less of a floral countryside lover, you might prefer urban and artistic settings! If this is the case, then go ahead and pose with your bff in front of a graffiti wall or a nice urban scenery! Get dressed in a cool, casual outfit and pose while confidently looking at the camera.

10. “Too cool for you” pose

Where are the hipster lovers at? If you’re more of this kind, then don’t overthink your outfit selection too much! Go shopping with your bestie and buy the same shirt. Make sure it’s a cool hipster shirt that identifies with both of you! Then why not add some accessories like hats and/or sunglasses to make the overall result even cooler?

11. Glam up besties

Now, stylish girlies, this is especially for you! Glam up with your bestie and don’t play small! Go hard with glitter, blush, eyeshadow! Then wear colorful, eccentric outfits and pose as your most glam self!

12. Pose and shine, b.f.f.

If you’re less of the colorful eccentric and more of the elegant bestie type, we’ve got something for you too! Dress up in a plain, pastel color dress - make sure you both choose the same color! Then sit, mermaid style, on the ground. Even better if you choose an outdoor location surrounded by plants and flowers, or by the beach. Look at different sides while smiling and looking like your most graceful selves.

16. Gossip girls pose

What’s a BFF if not that safe space to go to, to share secrets, gossip, and stories? So for this pose capturing this essence is key! A way to do so is to have the two of you lay comfily in bed. Especially if you have long hair, make sure your hair hangs from the side. Then shoot this picture from a side angle that only captures the hair falling down from the bed as the two of you lay with your bellies up. A true gossip girl pose!

It can be one on the PlayStation, a card game, or a table game! Make sure it captures something the two of you love so that you get to capture your fun through the camera too.

18. The takeaway team pose

Let’s be honest: one of the best times with a best friend involves buying takeaway pizza and having a cozy movie night together! So if this is the case, go ahead and buy your favorite pizza! Then capture your joy as you pose with it in your home outfits! Bite it out, open the pizza box, and have the most fun with it! It will be a win-win!
