My friend Alexis shot my She Knows family photo shoot and squeezed in a headshot for me. It’s my very first one!! How exciting! The one I’ve been using was taken in Dallas while in a Starbucks Drive Thru. How pathetic (but true).
Anyway – it’s down to these two. Which one should I use professionally?? HELP!
** few people emailed – the dress is Michael Kors from Lord and Taylor and the necklace is from Jewelista.

They are both beautiful but I like the 2nd one as a headshot!
at 9:56 am
I like the 1st one because it shows more of you but their both beautiful!
at 9:59 am
the 2nd one!
at 10:00 am
Love them both, but I like the second because it’s a close up!
at 10:04 am
The first one!
at 10:09 am
The second one

They’re both gorgeous, and I think you could even zoom in closer for a real “head” shot. The first one really shows your fab shape! (rock it, mama!)
If you’re zooming in closer, I’d go with #2, the tilt of your head (back instead of forward) looks more confident.
But you can’t go wrong with either!!

I vote for the second one ONLY because ( and this sounds shallow) you look thinner in the first one because we have the whole body shot. The second one is beautiful but I’m not a fan of where it’s cropped.
Although I’d take looking like either one! Gorgeous!

Both are great! I love the first one more! The second one is more of a headshot than the first one, though. But seriously, go with the first! You look UH-MAZE-ZING!

I agree with Fadra. 2nd pic is not cropped just right. 1st picture is perfect! Good luck with everything.

First one is great. Slenderizing, professional, beautiful!

First One Vera:)

They are both great Vera!! As a headshot I would use the second one.
at 10:43 am
The second one! Both are great though! Awesome pics Vera!
at 10:48 am
First one!
at 10:49 am
I say use the first one, but make it tighter of the top part and edit out some of the bottom, so that it really is more of a headshot. GORGEOUS

It’s hard to pick because they are very similar but if I have to choose…..#1!
at 10:57 am
I’m no help. I like them both. Headshot-wise I’d use #2 because it’s more of a close-up. But I love the first one so much! Tough call!
at 11:01 am
Both are gorgeous! My vote is for #2 since it’s a closer up shot.
at 11:42 am
i’m so indecisive – use them both! the close-up for more “headshot-y” things, and the other when it’s less classic “headshot-y”

You look amazing! I’d actually ask for one that is shoulders up for a “head shot” because often the images are so small. You want your face to be big enough that it stands out even when you’ve got a tiny picture. Of the two, I’d pick the second one, though. =}

1st one

The first one. Nice waist!
at 7:04 am
Second one for sure! Seeing more of ur silhouette at an angle makes unlook slimmer, not that you need it but u knw, always a good thing! U look soo much like lisa marie presley! If u wear red lips n false lashes you would be a carbon copy! Beautiful!
at 7:05 am
Sorry i meant first one! Oops!
at 8:28 am
Definitely the second one – lovely!
at 8:29 am
My favourite is the first one! Both lovely though.
at 3:27 am
They are both very nice! My vote goes to #1 – I like your smile in number 1 better. In number 2 your smile is bigger but not as ‘natural’ looking. Can’t miss with with either choice
