... but how does one become more photogenic? Ya know how some people are naturally photogenic? My 3 DDs are... but out of 100 photos of me... only one will be presentable! I either have one eye half closed or a crooked smile or something awful!!

I just got done looking at wedding photos and all the people in them were so pretty. I was in a few of the professional photos at my young friend's wedding (for whom babe and I are pseudo parents and grandparents) and of course, I look terrible!!

My middle DD is getting married next March and there will have to be plenty of photos. I need to learn to be more photogenic.

Any advice???

I suppose it comes down to practice. Using a mirror, practice looking your best. Then get your Babe to take pictures--digital cameras are great because you can see the results right away and analize what you did right and what you need to change. Then just keep practicing until the pose comes naturally.

No advice here, I take horrible pictures, and I don't like to have my picture taken, never have.

Speaking of digital cameras... last night I was watching The Perfect Storm and, of course, fell asleep before the end (aarrgghh!!) and when I woke up, Babe showed me digital photos he took of me sound asleep... double/triple chin, mouth hanging open... how MEAN is that??? Luckily, they're easily deleted!

I don't photograph well either. I cringe when I see Rob's wedding pictures. Everyone looks great. But me. *sigh*
