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.

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!

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.

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!
