Remember All Those Times I Made Fun of Author Photos?

Now it’s your turn to make fun of me! And maybe vote for your favorite?

The very lovely Sarah Danaher of Ampersand Photography did such a great job hiding the fact that I’m thirty weeks pregnant in these pictures. Does one shout “author” at you? Does one look more friendly or professional?

No. 1

No. 2 (The same picture in Black and White)

No.3

No. 4 (The same picture in black and white)

No. 5 (I call this: “My neck aches, but I’m smiling!”)

No. 6

No. 7 (This is professional, plain)

This is my favorite of all, but I don’t think my bestie (pseudo-assistant/stylist/lifesaver) Stacy wants to be in my book.

And for your laughs, here I am with my big ole belly.

Always a fan of the black & whites… classy. 🙂 So I’d vote 4,5, or 7.

5 is probably my fave because it shows a little spirit. 7, as you said, is very pro, but plain.

This was fun, and I don’t mean ‘funny’! 😀

@EJ: The B&W are my favorite too!! Plus, they hide all my flaws. 🙂

What great photos!

I prefer 2, 3 & 4. If I had to pick one, it would be 4- love the close up B&W

@Mary: Thanks!! I guess the good news is that I can use different ones in different places. One on my blog, one on twitter, one in my book…With my belly, I was a little nervous I might only get one useable shot!

LOL! You’re belly is perfectly fine. You look like the picture of a healthy mom-to-be. Congrats and good luck!

I prefer the ones in color:

#1
#3
#5 in color if you have it

But truly, you look lovely in all of them, so whatever you choose will be fine! 🙂

You look great! I think anyone the would work. I do think 7 and 3 are my favorites. Good luck with making the decision!

#5 seems to work best. Black and white has more of a professional trait to it.

These are great!

My favorites are 3,4 and 7, but honestly, they’re all really well done. Don’t think you can go wrong with any of them. 🙂

OMG Becky, you barely even look preggers! My hubby comes home after a weekend at the golf course with a bigger belly than that! But it’s a very cute belly (yours, not his). I love every single one of these photos! You look beautiful in all of them and have pretty sparkly eyes. That is all. Also, I am not a stalker 🙂
