Recently Colleen had her photo taken by Diann's daughter, Amber Zimmerman. I've been wanting to update my own photo and after seeing the great lighting and composition, I knew I'd found my photographer.
Amber and I met at a local park on a sunny Sunday afternoon. I sat in the grass, shooed bees, and flicked away bugs (ACK!) as I leaned against all manner of nature. When I got the photos I was so pleased. But now the problem is I can't decide which one to use for the back of my books. I'll use lots of them on my website and other things, but the book photo . . . I can only pick one.
That's where I need your help, and knowing y'all have no shortage of opinions, I figured I could count on you. So, which photo should go on the back of my books?

They are all great, Denise, but I love number three! I'm getting new photos this weekend. It's always so nerve-wracking. You've got awesome choices.
ReplyDeleteNumber 3.
ReplyDeleteI like number two!
ReplyDeleteNUMBER 3! (that's me shouting in excitment and jumping up and down)
ReplyDeleteYep, decided on no 3 before I read everyone else's comments :)
ReplyDeleteI think I like number 4 the best.
ReplyDeleteThey are all great though.
I like number 3 and 4! You are very photogenic which means - hard to choose!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Lucie
Denise, I liked #3 immediately and #4 second. But we seem to see a lot of pics with people leaning against trees LOL.
ReplyDeleteNumber 3 it is in my humble opinion.
My daughter and I both like #2 best, then #3.
ReplyDeleteThe tree pose reminds me of senior pictures back in the 80s. Going back to that discussion we had not to long ago about senior pics and poses...those were the days, huh?? :-)
Number three is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteThey're all really great. You'll have to fill your husband's wallet with them too. :)
ReplyDeleteI vote number three. It just really grabs me as that back-of-the-book author photo.
Casting 3 out of 3 votes from my family for #2!
ReplyDeletefrom Bangkok,

I like the first one--but it looks like I'm outnumbered!
ReplyDeleteI like #2 and #3 --- #3 looks more back of the bookcover-y though...
ReplyDeleteI like 3 and 4 also. I think you look amazing in these pics and you should probably go with #4 because it shows your wedding rings and that way no man will think that you're available *grin*
ReplyDeleteLove the outfit in 1 but 3 is the most women's faith author pic. :) Very nice, Denise. =)
ReplyDeleteI like #4, and my hubby likes #2. I do like #3 too. Hmm, quandary.
ReplyDeleteI'm a huge fan of number 3!! They are all beautiful though! :)
ReplyDeleteFour, and then three. :)
ReplyDeleteDenise, those are all great pictures! I #3 the best.
ReplyDeleteOh, wow! You're beautiful, Denise! If I have to pick, I think #3 looks most 'authorish', but I love them all!
ReplyDeleteI love 3 and 4. They are all good, but three and four are my favs.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!

They are all gorgeous (how could they not be with you as the subject?!) but I agree with those who've said #3. #2 is my second pick, but #3 has a sweet, yet a tiny bit mysterious quality about it. I love it!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures, Denise. I like #4 the most.
ReplyDeleteI like number 1. My second choice, and so far the favorite of many, is number 3.
ReplyDeleteNumber 3 all the way, Denise! I saw you wear that necklace at ACFW, and thought how PERFECT it was for the type of stories you write! Very romantic.
ReplyDeleteI do think the closeness of your face on #3 is best for a book cover, but #2 is in best focus. However, #4 fits the mood of your writing and you are smiling, which I really like. You don't happen to have #4 in color, too, do you? I love #4.
ReplyDeleteThey are all great so you can't really go wrong--you're so photogenic and Amber is a good photographer!
I like #4 because you look approachable, but I would like it in color. My husband and daughter liked #4 the best, too.
ReplyDeleteI really like #3 the best, although all of them are gorgeous. I need to update my headshot, but just don't have the money right now...especially with a baby coming.
ReplyDeleteBut, after reading comments, looks like I'm in the majority. :)
Love no. 3!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, my gosh, you guys are the greatest! Thanks so much for your help! A
ReplyDeletend no, I'm not really photogenic, but when someone as talented as Amber is taking like 50 zillion photos, you're bound to turn up a good one or two. LOL
Beautiful! Number 3, definitely.
ReplyDelete#3 definitely!!!!
ReplyDeleteI like number 3, I love the pendent on your nackace!
ReplyDeleteAnd the last one with the tree is very romantic.
they all look wonderful but I love the tree one and the one above but the more I look the more the tree wins.
ReplyDeleteDenise you look beautiful. Amber did a wonderful job and I can you you are really happy.
I like 3 and 4. I guess it depends on whether or not the photo will be printed in color or black and whiite.
ReplyDeleteI like #3 and #4 the best. four the most but they're all fabulous.
ReplyDeleteYou're beautiful! I like #1 & #4 the most, but #3 looks more like a book pic. :)

Well, I'm going against the grain here, but I LOVE the B&W one, mainly because it's B&W. It's different. The main reason is that your head is kind of cut off in the others
ReplyDeleteI am visiting my own personal photographers... so I have three opinions.
ReplyDeleteWe all agree that we like #3 the best... They suggest that the colors get warmed up just a bit, which in my uneducated eyes looks like they cranked up the brightness just a tad, in the process. "More contrast" is the phrase they gave me.
Not for the dust jacket, but two of us (the girls) really like #1... maybe as a header on your web page. We like the clothes in that one the best.
