My Face On The Web?
June 24, 2008
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
Kelly over at WAHM 2.0 posted about the face you show everyone on the web.
She made some great points like how it might not be the best idea to post your graduation photo unless, of course, you’ve really just graduated! Or how it’s probably best not to post a photo of yourself after having imbibed a bit too much…..and how it’s ok to NOT have a photo of yourself if you’d rather not.
She also shared some great pictures and she inspired me to take some new ones of myself to share, especially since I just got a new summer hair cut with snazzy highlights that cover the gray just the right way 
My daughter got out the camera she took silly pictures for quite awhile until I realized that it wasn’t going to get much better….and just choose one of the passel she took. 
….then I had to get brave enough to share!!
Now, if you’ve been hanging on to that old, although flattering, picture of yourself, I challenge you to share your new photos with us by leaving the link in the comments section.

Good for you Tracy! I like your top pic best and I love the one of you and your daughter.
Your daughter has such a humor filled smile!
I’ll tell you a couple tips about taking pics:
- Don’t sit down, stand up!
- Choose a room with lots of bright light (so you don’t have to use a harsh flash.)
- Have your picture taker stand on a chair so that they get the camera a good foot or so above your head – about three or four feet away from you.
- Smile up to them and have them shoot away.
I’ve had the best results with this set up
Hi Tracy (& Chrys!),
Love the photos! It’s funny, I was in this mode a couple of weeks ago. (I linked to the post.) What’s funny is that an old friend from college randomly found me, and sent me an e-mail saying “yes, the new shot definitely looks more literary.” I was sporting the old hippie-mama look (LOL) before the new head shots, and it does make a difference–depending on how you want your pict to reflect your personal brand.
