    Thanks for these links, Susan.

    I see-saw between formal and casual looks. I want my readers to take me seriously, but I also brim with nuttiness, and try to be down to earth. I have Mercedez Benz and Flintstone pedal-pusher tastes. Maybe I need two photos--one for each look!

    Have a great weekend,
    Jen

    Last year my then 7-year-old granddaughter took my picture! Now we have a one-day-to-be-member-of-the-family who is a photographer. And I have a bossy daughter who helps him. "Fix that hair. Your makeup is too pale. I will fix it. Turn that chain around."

    I kind of like the casual nature look. :)

    Hi Jen -

    You're welcome! I like your solution: go for both looks.

    Blessings,
    Susan :)

    I dread getting an updated photo taken when needed. I would probably go casual:)

    Those are great ideas for having a portrait done. I would have never thought of drinking more water beforehand.

    I enjoy the very casual picture on my blog. If I ever got a professional one, I'd want to revies this list. Thanks.

    Good post, Susan. My most recent photo session was last fall. I hate having my picture taken and was nervous, but the photographer put me at ease. I found it helpful to bring along copies of some author photos that I like.

    Blessings.

    Hi Terri -

    I get nervous about having a picture taken. Getting the hair and make-up right is a challenge.

    Blessings,
    Susan :)

    Hi Nancy -

    The water tip also surprised me. It would probably be a good idea to bookmark this article for future reference.

    Blessings,
    Susan :)

    Hi Jean -

    Great idea! I'll have to gather some author photos I like.

    Blessings,
    Susan :)
