Pretty much... well wait,..... I'd say almost everyone I talk to on the phone about "having your photo taken" I get the same old response: "Aaaarrrgh, I hate having my photo taken.... I'm not photogenic AT all...but I need to get this done."  lol

Well baby....YES YOU ARE photogenic. We just have to find your best light on the inside and on the outside. ;-)

I'll be the first to admit taking photos of someone is one thing... but making sure that person likes or LOVES the photo (of them self) ...is another.  I'll also be the first to admit, I take horrible photos if the light is wrong, the head angle is off.... or my body isn't positioned right. That's why it's important to tell me your insecurities if you have any.

 .... But here's the thing: I've learned over the past to embrace the camera and what is does for oneself.  If you like one photo out of fifty shots... well my friend, this is all you need.  That one shot would be the money shot... and worth every penny.

All the photos taken of myself are done with a self-timer. Just me and the camera... oh and my trusty tripod.   ;-)  People, if there was ever a fly on the wall ... he/she would be laughing their ass off during one of these "self-timered" photo shoots. I usually break a sweat running back and forth.... and after 50 shots, I'm thankful for the one that turned out to my liking. :-)
