I honestly think they are both good and flattering photos, so I can see why you are undecided. That said, I’d go with #1.
I’m still away on a long vacation in Maine, land of sketchy internet and NO cell phone service…so I apologize for not getting around the blogosphere in weeks.
Definitely number one. The mysterious sparkle in your eyes makes me wonder what you were thinking, just what the reader should wonder about an author. ;)
I like number two… but number one didn’t load properly when I got on your blog. so I am sure that one is nice too :)
I like number 1.
That’s a tough one. They both look good. I’ve always liked the first one and the second seems to say “I enjoy what I do.” I’d go with #1.
They are both beautiful, but I think #1 looks more dramatic–good for an author pic.
#1 – it’s from an angle, which is usually always more flattering. You look both in great, though! I love your hair!
Caroline, this is a tough question, both photos look good. I think I like #1 best, because it has more of a hint of mystery to it.
Ugg. They’re both really nice. Hmmm…I’m not sure if it’s because I’m used to seeing it, but photo one makes me feel like I know you. LOL
I like #1! Both pictures are equally good but #1 to me, looks more like an author pic!

I hope you had a wonderful holiday weekend,

one, one, one, one.(: YES. It’s lovely.
You have a very nice smile, which is the benefit of #2, but I’d go with #1 because it seems author-like.
I like #1. It’s just more interesting.
I agree with most of the others. Both pictures look great, but I like the side angle of #1.
I think #1
I prefer the former, but both are great!
Definitely #1
Numero uno!
looks like I am with the majority here-#1.
Thanks, everyone, for making this easy!
Both pictures are great, but I like #1 better.
Well… I’m late to the party… but Number 1 is my number 1 pick. :)
I agree–number one is a more engaging and complex look, and your eyes come out, which is very important in a portrait. Lovely shots!
Definitely the first–you look great in both, but the angle and composition of the first one is intriguing and there’s something memorable about it:-)
I like #1!
I cast my vote with #1. I just love the sparkle in your eyes there!
#1 but they are both beautiful!
I love the light on your face in #2, but your expression in #1 is fantastic. Such a hard decision! Both are gorgeous.
Definitely number one. The mysterious sparkle in your eyes makes me wonder what you were thinking, just what the reader should wonder about an author. ;)
#1 Definitely has an air of mystery. There’s a mischievous glint in your eyes. (Hugs)Indigo
They’re both beautiful, but #1 would be my pick :)
