Occasionally when taking part in photo shoots at the Photo Studio, Zoey the photographer will suggest a special pose for you to do for the shoot. The special pose sometimes will feature an item specific to the theme of the photo shoot, i.e. an umbrella or flowers.
After taking two photos, Zoey will tell you she has an idea and ask you if you would to try a special pose. The bottom 3DS screen will have two options available for you to choose:
- Ok, work you magic! (Select this for the special pose)
- I'd rather choose my own pose. (Select this to choose you own pose from the ones available)
Here are examples of photos with the character using a special pose suggested by Zoey.

Taking a photo for fun costs a fee of $50 each time you take a photo. Once you've selected the option, Sasha will ask how many people you

Now you can select the location you would like to take the photo at. Sasha will ask you where you would like this photo shoot to take place and she will give you three options: Studio, Caprice Chalet or Outside.
Studio
Select the Studio option to take a photo with a themed or coloured backdrop. With this option, you do not have to wait through a traveling loading screen. When you unlock new brands in the game, a themed backdrop will become available at the Photo Studio. Here are images of the 41 backdrops available in the Studio option.
In Style Boutique 2/Style Savvy 3, a new job is available that allows you to become a model and take part in photo shoots. There is a wide range of photo shoots available to complete throughout the year and completing these will unlock special miniatures to use in decorating rooms at the Caprice Chalet.
Visit Station Square and you will find the photo studio. Here you can take photos for fun or choose from a list of available themed photo shoots. The photo shoots that are available change throughout the year and when you have complete all the ones available, you will need to wait until new ones appear which can take a few weeks or happens with the change of season. To start, select the photo shoot you wish to complete and Sasha will give you the rundown of what the photo shoot is about.
When completing photo shoots, you are able to style your own outfit and look to match the theme of the shoot. The first step is to pick an outfit. You can choose from the items you have available in your wardrobe, which is every single item you have purchased from the Exhibition Hall.
Next, you select the hairstyle and make-up you wish to use. You can only use hairstyles that are available in your hairstyle portfolio which is made up of the last 30 hairstyles you have done at the Hair Salon. You can alter the colour and highlights of your hair. For make-up, you can choose from the make-up sets you have in your make-up box.
Once your outfit is complete, it's time to head out to a location within the city with Zoey to take some photos.
Taking photos is simple, you get to take three photos in different poses and then you choose which one you like to best. Zoey will point out what type of photo she will take; full body, waist up or close up. She may also suggest a special option for you, but you are given the option on whether or not you wish to take this.
When taking photos, the bottom screen of the 3DS will display a screen that allows you to change the position and facial expression of your character. Use the pink and blue arrows to cycle through the options. Clicking the green frame option at the bottom will remove the text displaying the photo shoot screen from the top screen.
Zoey will take three photos during the shoot and then you will head back to the Photo Studio to show the photos to Sasha. You are given the option to choose which photo you think is best from the three photos. Select the photo you like best and Sasha will comment your performance (don't worry, she always says something positive).
Billboards around the city will now change to the photo you selected. After completing the photo shoot, Sasha will gift you a special miniature that you can use for decorating rooms at the Caprice Chalet.
Here's the photo I choose from this photo shoot that was themed around rainy days. This pose was a special one suggested by Zoey. More examples of Zoey's special poses can be found in this guide.
