Strike a pose

Had my professional photo shoot today. What a hoot.

Got a great lesson in how clothes can look really flattering in person and really unflattering in photos.

Loved having stylist Liliana hovering around me to shoo hair from my face, make sure my makeup was just right and tell me when to relax and smile bigger.

Found out I am most comfortable -- I mean, really comfortable -- in jeans and a black cashmere turtleneck with black boots and silver jewelry.

I'm going to take the photographer's word that it's best to wait a few days before deciding which shots I like best. However, I took a quick peek and think I have shots for my website, personal use, and my (pending) book jacket.

Woohoo.
