1). Be yourself, relax. Nothing worse than nervous, uncomfortable smiles.
2). Wear clothes that you like. Wear clothes that fit. Even if you have lost weight, and want to show it off, don't wear clothes that are too tight. If you are a blue jean and tennis shoe person, don't show up in a suit and tie. Of course we want newer, clean clothes, that are not too tight, or have overpowering colors or patterns.
3). Don't overdo the makeup. Wear your normal shades, and a little matte powder is good to reduce glare.
4). Look at yourself in the mirror, the mirror sees what the lense see's.
5). Keep you pockets empty.
6). Guy's, when shaving, use a fresh blade, and don't press too hard. No razor stubble.
7). Practice your smile. The best smiles are when you think of something that makes you happy, and you just smile. The worst smiles are when you just look at the camera and smile.
Try this, take a deep breath, let half of it out, look up and smile.
Laughter is also a great smile. Practice your laugh, so it is not too big of a smile, yet truly genuine.
