First official publicity photo

I use the term “publicity” loosely. 🙂

I went with several chapter mates yesterday to have professional photos taken for the RWA announcements. The photographer, Chris Malacarne, did a great job.

Afterwards, I spent about an hour cleaning up my picture before sending it off. I’m quite proud! I was tempted to post a “before and after” to show off my photoshopping skills, but decided against it. (No one needs to see those bags under my eyes.)

You know those ANTM photos are touched up too, right? 😉

Photophobia

I have to go and get pictures taken today for the Golden Heart® promotional pictures in the RWR. I don’t have any idea what to wear and I’m completely awkward in front of the camera. I think the things can smell my fear because I’m always making a weird face.

Shoot, and if I knew they’d be projecting my face at the national conference, I would have tried to lose a couple pounds. Okay, how’s that for neurotic?

I guess I’ll have an official “author” picture up on the web soon. Stay tuned!
