We had family photos done for the church directory and the photographer took a few individual ones for each of us. I like DH's WAY more than mine. I wish I would've worn a different color.
I took my own headshot in front of the wall in my living room. lol. It looks like shit, but I guess it's better than a pic of me looking windblown at the park or something.
Mine is the pretty bad professional photo from my old firm's website. I am in a conservative profession, so I need one where I'm in professional attire/context.
My current photo for my current firm is awful. But they're redoing them now! Only problem is that I thought my picture was tomorrow. Nope, today. So I wasn't wearing a suit (had to borrow a blazer from a coworker, and it is too big on me), was barely wearing makeup, my hair is a mess, and my eyes are puffy because of eczema. And then one minute before the picture was taken, I got toothpaste all over my friend's blazer, so hopefully the stain (more from the paper towel I used to try to get the toothpaste off) will be photoshopped out. So I'm not thinking any of today's shots is going to be my new linkedin photo as I had hoped. And firm website photo will be a downgrade. Sigh.
I don't have one right now. I need to get my work professional pic retaken (the other one is old and I have a pixie cut and don't even look like myself) and then I'll just use that one.

This is random and strange, but I have a photo from a few years ago that I think doesn't look like myself either, but every time I see it, I think it looks a bit like YOU. Lol, it's bizarre that my mind would even go there but I think I had the thought once and now its ingrained into that photo for me.

Mine is old, is actually a photo I texted my sister right after I got my hair cut. Doesn't much look like my current self, I should probably update it. DH's is in a dress shirt, but the background is in Norway.
For either of ours - I don't think anyone cares much. DH's boss's is the wall at work. His former boss is on a hiking trip, though her DH's is a formal headshot. A bunch of the others are just random lab shots that are from their departments' websites. I will forever laugh at one of our former PI's completely staged lab head shot. That picture is old too and was when the TV crews were in. Most of them have no pictures.
The one VP for DH's company is in the snow without a hat on - doesn't look like a ski trip.
