Last week I told you I would be contacting a professional photographer to give us tips on how to pose for better photographs. I’m waiting to hear from my friend, Tim Flanagan of Solas Gallery, in Salado, TX.

In the meantime, I thought you might feel better if I showed you some hilariously bad photos. We can all learn something from these:

No ‘ugly’ crying in pictures.

Warning: Creepy Bunnies may scare children.

Snarling is not a cute look.

Angles are good, but you don’t need to bend yourself into a stool.

Never have your photo taken by a serial killer.

These actual photos were courtesy of The Ellen Degeneres Show. You can see more if you google: Bad Paid For Photographs.

Hope you feel better now. I know I do.
