Happy Valentines Day!!! 
Hope you're all having a good one! I shot another practice set last night. I'll post some of the pics when I get a chance.
I tried to do some different facial expressions, but it was hard looking happy when I wasn't really. I did the set once with my fiance behind the camera, but the lighting turned out all wierd because we had an overhead light on that made me terribly shiney. He wasn't very enthiused about taking the pics in the first place, but we made it through ok. When I started looking at the pics and realized how bad the lighting was, I wanted to retake the set. It takes a long time to get ready and I didn't want to just waste the fact that I was all dolled up. He didn't feel like taking another set, so I went and shot a set myself.
It turned out ok, but alot of the pics are a little blurry because I had to rush into the pose that I wanted before the timer went off. The whole ordeal just left me feeling kind of let down. I've been really wanting to improve my poses and stuff, but its hard to take pics of yourself when you have to get up and set the timer between each pose. There was one pose that I had to retake 7 times because I wasn't in the frame and couldn't seem to hit the right mark.
I realize that he has been questioning his photographic skills, but if I can take pics of myself that come out ok, he should be able to do the same thing. We have a digital camera, so its pretty much just point and shoot. He really thinks that we need a better camera, but I'm willing to work with what we have since we can't afford a new high tech one. I was really excited about him taking pictures of me, but now I just get uneasy about it because he makes me feel like I'm the problem, not the camera. He's the main reason that I applied to be an SG. I've always wanted to model, but never thought I was good enough. Now I have a shot at it, but I feel like....well, I'm not sure what I feel like.
He mentioned last night that I should go talk to the photography department at school and see if anyone would to a shoot for me, so maybe I'll try to find a professional photographer in the area that will shoot me. It really bugs me cause I know that he could do it, but he doubts himself so much that he won't let himself even try.
