I like #2 and #4. That is: The second photo in the first image and the middle photo in the second image. You look lovely!

My picks are the same as Maneera's. I didn't even notice what you were wearing, because your smile was so engaging.

Middle shot from the row of three you have a great smile

The second photo in each batch are my favorites. You appear confident, yet approachable.

The middle one from the second, all the way!:-)

(And never understood why a professional photographer does not paying attention to clothes, too. It happened to my DD's class, too-when they took professional picties to them for graduating high school. I was so mad their blazers have had all kinds of sloppy shoulders, unnaturally bigger busts (on others) and asymmetric halves to the buttons on centre front of the shirt and so on...:-(( may be it wasn't that professional, of course...:-))

Just back to see what others thought. And you know, after seeing Angie's pick I had to re-evaluate and I think she is right. The second pic in the first set may actually be even better than the second one in the second set. For all the same reasons - confidence, smile, professionalism - also I used my hand to crop in on just that image and it looks great with your head held high and strong shoulder line.

Thank you all! Your generous comments really make me feel more at ease with the photos.

DH and BFF liked the second one in set one and set two.

Firecracker: I chose black because I hoped that the clothes would sort of frame me, not drawing any attention.
lyn67: I think many professional photographers pay attention to light and facial expression, not clothes. Quite annoying. There wasn't even a mirror in the room.
texstyle: thanks for your second opinion.

I go with both #2's also. They look relaxed to me.

The middle one in the second set for sure. It's a good picture and the blazer looks smart and you look warm and approachable!

You look great! The middle one in the second set is perfect!
