on 8/8/2006 Plan ahead if you know what you are going to wear in the photo shoot. Make sure that nothing you wear on the way to the shoot will put a dent or a line on your skin. A good camera with a strong lens will show any lines on your skin left from the clothes or jewelry that you were wearing earlier (it can take up to 3 hours for all marks to go away).
For example, if you are taking a picture with your back exposed, you can have a bra line that shows up in the picture and Photoshop is great, but not as great as your natural skin.

I always close my eyes when the flash goes off, so I do the opposite if I know I am being photographed. I keep my eyes closed and then I open them(after being warned).
Most people have a flattering side of their profile, find yours and work with it. Some people don't look their greatest when being shot full frontal-a profile shot may be better.
DMV and Passport Pics- keep your makeup natural and avoid dark makeup on the eyes.

on 2/23/2006 You can buy straight razors called Touch 'N Brow. It is good because you can trim them and it is quick and easy. You can use it for any unwanted facial hair, arching your eyebrows, neck, sideburns, and bikini lines too. Find it at a beauty supply store, like Sally's.

on 2/22/2006 If the photographer offers different suggestions than the ones mentioned here, listen to the photographer. He/she may be going for a different effect with lighting, exposure, angles, etc. When the photographer makes these suggestions, listen and don't be offended. It's not that what you have done is bad, it's just not right for that particular photo shoot.
