1. To avoid a double chin, stick your ears out, push your face forward a bit and tilt your chin down, a little bit of a turtle pose will do wonders.
2. If you tend to blink, close your eyes just before the picture and open the right before the camera shoots. NO more half closed eyes.
3. Angles, angles angles. Never take a shot straight on to the camera, it rarely looks good turn your body away from the camera then turn your face to the camera, bam you loose 10 lbs.
4. Never shoot in direct light, look for shade or turn your back from the light source. Even light always looks best.
5. Bright lipstick always.
6. No shiny make up. There is a reason that "photo finish" make up is matte.
7. If your taller than your photographer, sit down. Shots from above always look better.
---- This is where bullet point 7 comes in handy. I'm over 6 feet tall, check out my photos they are all slightly from above - just part of the magic.
Hope this helps! Happy holiday card making season.
