So in my eternal quest to feel like a “real author,” I got official author photos taken a couple of weeks ago. The photo I’ve been using was actually the result of acting as a stand-in at work to help our staff photographer get ready to photograph a much more important person. Here it is…
It was taken during my first week of work. That is the only reason why I have on makeup. I clearly didn’t put on lipstick, though. As much as I loved it, I wanted a “real” author photo, one with, yes, lipstick. Since one of my best friends, Carucha L. Meuse, is a professional photographer, we headed to a local New Jersey park where we battled 90 degree weather, a Bridezilla and her bridal party, and a whole lot of Pokemon Go players.
Though I can’t debut my actual author photos yet—I’m still waiting for them to be thoroughly airbrushed—I did want to share a few of my favorites. I’ll let you guess why I didn’t end up choosing them.
My “Is There Something in My Teeth?” Look.
My “This Would Have Made a Great Author Photo in the 1980s” Look.
My “I Don’t Know How Beyonce Makes Wind Blowing in Her Hair Look So Good” Look.
My “Look Y’all, I’m Squatting in Heels!” Look.
And finally…
My “I’m Still Way Too Excited I Was Not Only Able to Squat in Heels but Get Up Without Assistance!!!” Look.
You made me laugh out loud with the captions! Great post.
