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.

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!
