Recently I had the delightful experience of visiting my local photographer Ana for a photo shoot at her studio for some new author photos.
First stop: my favorite hair dresser Joanna's Glamorama for a styling. Then, cross the street to Ana. (I love small town life in Vermont!)
Ana also runs Anastasia's Closet a wonderfully curated vintage clothing store, so our session became a great dress up afternoon as well. What fun!
First, Ana helped me get comfortable by channeling my inner Mary Poppins...
Then we got started on head shots. Only afterward did I realize that the dominant colors of both clothing and backgrounds were red, white and blue...fitting for an author of American historical novels, isn't it?
Then came the job of choosing among many expressions. For that I enlisted my readers on Facebook. I was delighted with the result...everyone had an opinion, it seemed! Can you guess which of these was the favorite for my new official photo?

Takes courage to have pictrues taken. I had my fill of that as a child when my grandfather used to take me to the photographer and I had to sit and sit.
ReplyDeleteThanks for that support, Janet...yes, it IS a difficult thing to submit to getting your inner light recorded... oh, the things we do for our ART, right, my friend?
ReplyDeleteI like all the pictures where you smile. Your inner light shines through them all. :-)
ReplyDeleteAll good but I like the one with the horseshoe necklace. I too was taken to the studio by my older sisters every year as a child so haven't been to one since I was about 12.
ReplyDeleteI hate having my photograph taken so kudos to you for doing it so well. I do like This One! but also have to agree with Tricia that the one with the horseshoe necklace was also very good.
ReplyDeleteI love the one you chose! It's colorful and bright! Great picture.
