Strike a Pose

A chin tipped slightly up can stretch out a double chin. But don’t overdo it or you risk an uninvited view of your nostrils. Or tip your head down, and the focus is on the eyes. Keep lips partially open or smile generously, but avoid the Mr. Ed horse smile that is all gums. This is a problem of mine! J Vamp it up, but never to the extent of appearing like a caricature of a drag queen of beauty pageant contestant. When in doubt, smile! Any flaws in your outfit or pose disappear when you look like you’re having a great time.

Lastly, don’t make the mistake of not capturing your life on film because you aren’t happy that day with your hair, arms, weight, etc. I’ve learned that I’ll never 100% love a photo of myself but I want to be able to look back and marvel at all of the amazing things we did together as a family and with friends. It all goes by too quickly and if you’re always saying “Tomorrow I will”, it will be too late.
