Hey girl, I am a photographer, so I will come at you from that which says a thousand words. You know what would be fun? Have the most creative person or expressive person you know get the digital out and snap 100 portraits of you. The photo session should not take any more than 10 minutes. Don't think you must "pose" for every shot. Just start shooting and be quick. Don't stop until you image from every angle you can think of. Use flash to give a little fill if the sun is casting strong shadows. And if it is within your personality, have total fun with it. Change your expressions. Laugh, giggle, profiles, from the top, change your hair, let it blow in the wind, raise an eyebrow, snuggle with your baby, etc... Out of the 100 photos, you will have 3 great shots. Think of the 10,000 images Sports Illustrated shoots for their Swimsuit issue. All I am saying is that a good photographer searches for that single and extraordinary 125th of a second snap that most people never observe with their naked eye. On a photo shoot I will shoot at least 250 images, and then edit out all but a handful for the sale. Works everytime. Give it a try and let me know. :)
