My new promo photos

I recently had some new photos done for my website and promo use. Kristin my agent said that if your appearance changes, so should your headshots. My hair was short, and now I'm growing it out. ; ) The following five are my favorites. Which one do you think should be on my homepage -- Photo 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5?

Photo #1


Photo #2


Photo #3


Photo #4

Photo #5
Coming up next week: Doing rewrites; how to push through and complete a novel; why I love "gray" characters; writing my first novel way back when, complete with photos of my first notebook -- a handwritten mess. ; )

Have a great weekend!
Lisa

Hi Lisa;

I like #4, #1. I do not like #5 at all. There is a crease that shows up on your face. #'s 2 & 3 have part of your face in shadow. I hope you get a lot of responses.

I enjoyed meeting you at RT

Hi Tine!

Thanks for your input! I'll be using the winner on my home page, but I'll use the others throughout my website and on other stuff. As to the crease on #5 -- Jimmy my photographer said "I can fix anything." ; )

I'm so glad you stopped by, and I enjoyed meeting you at RT, too! Are you thinking about coming to RT in Orlando next year? I'll definitely be there -- I had too much fun in Pittsburgh not to go.

I think #2 or #4 would be the one to pick. Congrats on the new book.

All your photos look really good! I think #4 is my favorite, followed by a close second with #3.

My favorite was number 4 until I saw number 5. It looks so friendly and I love the pose and the background.

My sister is here for the weekend (to visit and help me organize my office). She likes #3. A lot of folks are liking #4. #2 seems to have fallen by the wayside. ; ) Keep those opinions coming!

I love them all, but photo 4 definitely jumps out at me :)

I love the glasses!

I usually have photos done without my glasses, but I really like these(and I get compliments on them all the time). Plus, I figure since I always wear them (I'm blind as a bat otherwise), that I should wear them in the photos.

#3 and #5 (the crease can be edited out).

A friend (newly published by Ellora's Cave) and myself (as her chief minion) are planning on going to RT next year. Hoping to see you all there. So exciting.

Hi Lisa,

I like 2 & 4 - even though 4 seems to be winning. Jimmy did good.

Hey Ruth!

Jimmy did an awesome job; he's my "photographer of choice" from now on. ; )

I like 2 and 4 the best. 3 has too much shadow.

Hope that helps! :)

Okay I am digging 4 not that this counts for anything but it makes you look friendly and approachable but writerly like (is that a word?) Anywho there's my vote!

Thanks, everyone! I'll be using all of them in some way on my site, so you all will get to see your favorites. ; )

1, 3, and 5. Guess that doesn't help too much with the narrowing down, does it? : ) They all look great, though!
