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.

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
