I should add a disclaimer: any & all beauty in forthcoming photos is due in it's entirety to the genius that is Michelle Davidson Argyle. She somehow manages to both take lovely pictures and instruct me where to look, to put down my chin, stop blinking, smile correctly, stop drooling and all those other things that tend to create poor photos. I'd be lost without her.
So, here are my three faves:
This is my mysterious-sleepy pose. Am I happy? Am I tired? Am I just that confident and self-assured that I have nothing better to do than lean against nearby walls and smile? You may never know...
This is my watch-me-create-and-plot-out-entire-worlds-pose. Either that or my that-ice-cream-cone-looks-like-it-would-make-my-taste-buds-explode-pose...meh, those two poses look pretty much the same.
And finally, you may have noticed this one over on the side of my blog. It's my I-could-easily-write-you-into-my-book-and-kill-you-without-batting-an-eyelash-pose. Because, well...I could.
What do you think? Any particular pose you like more than the others? Why is that? Also, feel free to rename my poses if you feel so inclined. I'm flexible. ;-)

You know I adore all of these. :) It is far too early for me to be clever with renaming your poses, but I got a good chuckle out of the ones you named. :)
ReplyDeleteI thought you might like them. ;-)
Deleteyour hair color and the color of the scarf really make your eyes the focal point of the picture, which I love!
ReplyDeleteWell done, Michelle.
You are gorgeous, Jenn.
Aww, thanks! Yeah, the scarf was kind of a lucky break. I know I get more compliments when I wear that color and now I see why. :)
DeleteBeautiful, pics! I think #2 is my favorite although your eyes look amazing in #3!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ruth! I really like all three. It's hard to choose!
DeleteGREAT photos!! Nice job Michelle!!!!! I love the last one...perfect!! I so need author photos done. I have a photographer friend who wants to do them (for free!!) but he doesn't live in the same state as me...so that's kind of a problem. And right now its just not in my budget to go pay someone. :(
ReplyDeleteYeah, it's hard to find a good photographer. Michelle is fantastic, I totally lucked out. Good luck finding one that works for you, Stephanie!
Delete#3
ReplyDeleteThanks, Liana! :)
DeleteJenn, you know how much I love first one, but the second one is really nice, too! And being I am of no help, the third is great, too! But, yes, #1 for me still!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the vote, Elsie. You actually are helpful, because I feel like I'm okay no matter which way I go. Love that kind of freedom. ;-)
DeleteOoh - gorgeous!!! I love the first one and the last one the best. I can't decide which is my fave, fave, fave.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Danyelle! I think if I had to narrow it down to two right this second, those would be the ones I'd pick, too.
DeleteI think that the third picture works the best as an author photo.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Randy! I think that one is the most approachable, and I really like that. :)
DeleteFirst one and second. :)
ReplyDeleteAh the hair is just mwah!!! :D
Thank you! :) My hair is...well, it stands out, that's for sure.
DeleteThe blue of the scarf really makes your eyes pop. These are beautiful photos. You look lovely. I think the dreamy second photo is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteI like the first one! But the others are awesome too… Gah, I'm being NO help, sorry!
ReplyDeleteHaha, it is helpful! From everyone's opinions, I feel pretty safe with any of my choices. Thank you!
DeleteI like all of them. Can you use all of them on your book jacket. Will that be a bit of an overkill? I don't think so. :)
ReplyDeleteExcellent plan! I'll just plaster my book with pictures of myself. That won't be abnormal at all. I'll get with my editor a.s.a.p. about that. ;-)
DeleteLove. The. Scarf! The blue is absolutely perfect! Pretty eyes!!!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see it on the back flap of your book.
Oh, and I just had to rename your photos:
1: I write sexy books with leaning walls
2: My thoughts--and my books--are too deep for common mortals
3: Books are fun. I'm fun. My books are fun. You'll love them.
(Okay, yeah, I love #3 the best.) :)
Haha! Love it, Robin! :) So fun! Thanks for the comment!
DeleteThe first and third are my fans but you look lovely in all of them.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I totally agree. :)
DeleteJust chiming in to say they *are* lovely--and the blue just pops! Your pose names made me giggle.
ReplyDeleteLove these pics. You are gorgeous! My youngest daughter has curly red hair that I hope will be as pretty as your curls. So excited for you! :)
