Hey everyone!
I just had these done, and am wondering which you like best, as well as age range/type?

Thanks! : )

I really like the 3rd one, lots of character Nicely done.

While I agree that the third is the best of the four you have posted, I am not sure these pictures are going to help you. You have a great look, but you seem uncomfortable in these shots. Even in the third, there's a bit too much tension in your mouth.

The good news is that you should be able to get great shots in the right hands. Find a photographer with a portfolio you love, but then make meet them ... to make sure you feel comfortable with him or her. If you feel relaxed and are able to have fun with your photographer during your shoot, you will get great shots.

Good luck!

I have to agree with Ron, you are very pretty but something is a little off and uncomfortable feeling.

In the first shot it's the head tilt and open mouth...

The second feels a little "squinty" where your right eye is more squinty than your left and it creates a little bit of imbalance in the picture. ...

Third the wind is a little too much and your lips look tense and a little chapped. (Are there any in a similar position to this with a full smile? I suspect you have a beautiful one.)

And the last is ok, though I'm not crazy about your top, and the smile doesn't look totally genuine.

Lighting in all these is great. It's just these little things that need to be fixed...

Haha, thanks for the feedback guys!
Yeah, I was very uncomfortable with the photographer. He was kind of micro-managing, and it was tough to make any conversation with him.
Thanks again for your responses! I'll go think about what to do from here. . .

You're in LA ...so are Zampano and DK. Check them out. Both are excellent!

Who was your photographer?

(You can tell me privately if you like, I just want to know who to avoid...)

The 3rd is the best of them all. The first two you have a slight open mouth- that sends mixed signals in a photo and normally should be avoided. The last one is a bit distracting with your choice of shirt and you definitaly look uncomfortable in the shot.

If these are your only choices then go with the 3rd until you are able to have another shoot.

The most important thing in a photo shoot is comfort. If you are confused or uneasy then it will clearly show in the photo. You need to have your personality show through your eyes and any straying thoughts will conflict with that.

With that said, you definitely have a good look.

3rd is way cute.

I LOVE the third one, I think you look great in it...if I was going to be picky, the bottom left corner of the photo is a bit distracting to me. I wish the shirt sleeve was longer, my eyes get drawn to that corner for whatever reason...great shot though.

I like the 3rd one too. But like the guy who posted above me ^ the corner on the left bottom is distracting. Maybe you could crop it out? Great shot though!

These aren't amazing but I agree you should go with the third.

Hey... I love the third one the best. You're pretty and your complexion is beautiful! I do feel like you're not letting it out in those shots though. Perhaps, you might want to find a better photographer or somebody who could help you convey your expressions and emotions better. Your eyes look slightly squinted (like they were avoiding the sun) in these pictures. I do think you can do something better.

Wow, thanks for all the responses! I think I will get the third one touched up a bit (my lips were chapped because I had my stupid wisdom teeth taken out), and then have it printed to see how it looks. Hehe, and Newbie, I agree about the shirt sleeve-- I'm glad you said that because I think I'll crop it to where the shirt ends.
Anyway, thanks a lot everyone!
