We have the same hang-ups about going grey, bald and baggy jawed. Not the best look for someone writing stories about young, happy, summer people. So I tried for the father figure look ... it might have worked.

Great tips, Rebecca, thanks! I didn't find that with makeup, but then I'm sure everyone has a different definition of "extra." A good photographer will help as will time of day--taking pics in the early morning or later afternoon is best for skin. Photographers usually use a little extra light as well to warm it up. Love the idea of thinking of your website ahead of time, though I would add to make sure the color is good on you as well as your site.

Outside shots need extra makeup as the sunlight drains us of color. What to wear - solid colors but consider your brand. For example, my website has turquoise, it is a color with warm and cool tones, so I wore a turquoise top for my photo.

Fun, Barb! Good luck. I'd say choose those colors that look best on you--that can make the biggest difference. :O)

I scheduled an appointment with a photographer at the upcoming writer's conference in Leesburg, FL. Contemplating what to wear. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Fall is a great time to get pics, Denise. Great colors and light! Hope you get a chance to go for it. :O)

My last one--not the one in my avatar--was taken by a semi-pro. I actually have a local professional to use, I've just been putting it off.
