Author Head Shots: Why You Need My Friend Teresa

Lyn Hawks · May 29, 2019 · Leave a Comment

Teresa Porter of My Friend Teresa Studios made it all perfect. Author head shots went swimmingly, despite me and all my neuroses.

[Here’s me talking myself off a ledge in a post.]

Teresa got me laughing. That’s what great photographers do. They relax your humming brain, they soothe your jumpy soul, they get you out of your judgmental head.

I was also feeling good because Paul Miller of Funky Monkey Hair Studio had my hair on point. Easier to smile when someone gets your head straight!

Durham, NC also came through with glorious spring weather, so I wasn’t sweating through my duds or makeup.

And best of all, Mom was with me!

Could I live without words, writing, story? Probably not. I love telling stories. I love teaching stories. I love helping other people find theirs. That’s my story. [READ MORE...]

Teacher friends, there’s a sale at Teachers Pay Teacher friends, there’s a sale at Teachers Pay Teachers tomorrow for lots of fabulous resources. Up to 25% off, including my lessons for ELA teachers. The Success Story store keeps growing! Newest lesson? A deep dive into metaphor (tenor, vehicle, connotation) with Shakespeare's high-stakes scenes. These materials join a Macbeth mock trial, a Madam VP rhetoric lesson (persuasive diction and strategy in candidate speeches), and lessons for Amanda Gorman's magnificent inaugural poem. A joy to collaborate with my theatrically gifted sis, Antonia Fairchild, and my legal eagle/ELA colleague, Vincent Agosta, to bring professional wisdom to the teaching table. Love nerdin' out in my proximal zone of development.
