Breathe in before the shot, it brings your posture up and face in. Learnt this from a dancer who finishes each pose with a breath in to create a more 'elegant' silhouette.

So funny- this is good advice for a body pose, but as someone who holds a ton of tension in their face/jaw I always try to exhale before the shot thinking it will relax my face 😅

Ask to see the pic right after it’s taken.

Look at past photos and pic 2-3 things you didn't like about it and remember to do those things. E.g, for me I sometimes clench my shoulders up and smile "too hard"..so for pics I care about I remember to relax those things

I’m at post onsite and negotiation stage at a couple places but it may take another month or 2 due to either hiring freezes or general slow processes.

I want to quit now to go on vacations that I held off during prep. Does it make much difference when I negotiate offers? Like if my upcoming unvested RSU would be (partially) matched, and they find out I quit somehow, is it no longer matched? Other potential snags?

I want to start charging people for my services but also want to be reasonable since this is a friend and don't plan to charge a holiday fee. We live in St. Louis. Would $40 per day/night be reasonable?
