Everyone knows what an Instagram boyfriend is. Taco Bell even made a commercial about them. Either you have one, want one, or make fun of girls who have them. If the latter is you, then you don’t understand the love that boy must have for his girlfriend to do this. I, for one, am officially convinced my boyfriend ~actually~ loves me. He is patient and understanding, but most of all supportive of my blog.
Despite all the sweet things I have to say, it wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows from the beginning. My boyfriend and I got into fights taking photos, mostly because I was being insecure AF. I took that frustration out on my sweet, sweet boyfriend (Sorry Nick). Some practice and life lessons later, we are photoshoot pros together, and he is REALLY good at taking photos. See them here.

How to Get an Instagram Boyfriend
I came up with a list to help you convince and keep your Instagram boyfriend. Here’s how to convert your boyfriend into an Instagram boyfriend:
- Promise him food after – seriously, this one works the best.
- Let him express his own creativity too. You don’t have to use his photos, but it’s more fun for him this way.
- Show him how you want the photo framed first, so there’s no blame on him when the photos did not come out how you imagined.
- Let him know how you prefer he shoots (rapidly or not)
- Bring example photos you want to recreate
- BASICALLY COMMUNICATE WITHOUT BEING FRUSTRATED
- Don’t expect him to be a pro photographer
- Don’t be insecure and reflect that frustration on him
- Let him know how much you appreciate him
- Tell him how much you love his photos!! (& if you don’t, keep trying to teach him or find someone else)
Now Get You an Instagram Boyfriend
Ladies, if he knows how important this is to you and truly loves you, you should be able to convince him. I’m not saying this will work with every boyfriend, but you can try!! Seriously, try the food bribing tho.
