I need a new bio shot for upcoming publicity stuff. Brian took a handful the other day.
We narrowed them down to these two.
Which one do you think is better?

Bio #1
Bio #2
I like #1
My daughter Ellie votes for #1
Um..#1 is pretty sexy! Don’t ‘cha think?! haha I like it! I also like 2, people feel like they know you if they can see your eyes I think. One is more artistic, where as 2 is more “Getting to know you, getting to know all about you” I was singing that you know….does any of this help or make sense??!! haha Love ya!
#1#1#1#1#1#1#1#1#1#1#1#1#1#1#1#1
SO CUTE!!!!!
Hope you’re feeling better, and that you have a blast in Vegas!
Can’t wait to read all about it here!
I like #1!
#1…
Totally #1
It feels more like a cool/artistic/professional publicity shot.
#2 is beautiful, but #1 is just stunning!
#1. You look like you’re having fun (I want to hear whatever joke Brian was telling you!) So cute!
I guess I am the only one so far that likes #2 better 🙁
oh well, that is the one I like
I guess I am the only one that likes #2
oh well, that is the one I would choose
Def. #1… honestly, the second one is a bit too close up – it makes me feel as if you are in my personal comfort zone (not that I wouldn’t hug you if I met you, but…Lol).
You are beautiful!
I Vote #1
It’s so cute and I feel it’s telling a story vs. just a picture of you.
People just love to give thier opinions don’t they! You always get more comments when you ask “what do you think?” 😉
Although I LOVE #1, I think #2 would probably be better for a “publicity” photo, since you are looking at the camera…..However, it also depends on what you are publicizing….#1 is an all around great happy shot of you, which I think speaks thousands about who you are….I hope that helps…
Your skin looks really glowy and healthy in the first one – but I like that you can see your eyes in the second -I also like the earing in the first… if I HAD to pick, I’d say the 1st one. 🙂
I would definitely go with #2 for a publicity photo – you look much more professional! If you’re looking for a new boyfriend, then I would go with #1, but sounds like that’s not the case! And I like your eyes in #2!
#2!!! (going against the grain here) Of course they’re both beautiful!!!
#2 for sure. I like seeing the eyes.
Totally go with #1!
loooooove #1!!! you look so happy!
I get a bedroom vibe from #1 and a more professional feel from #2. 😉
There’s a softness and warmth to #1 that’s very reflective of who you are, but I like the directness of looking into your eyes if this is going to be used for publicity purposes. There’s my two cents….
I agree, #1 is “Real” but #2 is gorgeous as well. I vote #!!
#1 feels more like your kind of photography — capturing a moment that doesn’t necessary mean looking straight on into the camera. It is also HOT! Caliente! Spicy! Ooh La la! Nothing wrong with that, I say!
#1 looks “HOT”! Beautiful shots.
I vote for #1 as well. I love the personality that comes out in the photo. Shows both the inner and outer beauty 😉
i like #2.
your strap is turned in #1, but i still like your eyes in #2 best.
#1 definitely….!
I like #2
#1 definitely….! #1 looks much more carefree..like your personality. #2 is cute but it looks a bit more posed.
for me #1 is #1!
#1 is in the moment – Love it!
#2 is a great shot too but it looks like you stopped to say “cheese.” =)
Both are beautiful,…you can’t go wrong.
I definitely love #1… It has more of a sense of personality behind it than just the headshot of #2.
Bio #1 for sure…hands down! Great job Brian!! You are too cute Me Ra! Love you!
My vote is for #1 because it seems like your personality shines through – besides being a great photo!
#1 you look great!
I like #2 because I think it makes you appear more approachable. I love #1 as well, but not for a publicity shot. It’s a great shot of you, but I feel like #2 is a little friendlier because we can see you.
hi mera!
this is my very first post. my initial gut reaction was number 1 but i really love number 2. from reading about you i think the 2nd really shows your personality most. eyes say so much about a person’s personality and yours show kindness. if i was a bride choosing my photographer, that would mean so much to me.:-)
Hey Me Ra,
These are great shots. I love #1. It really reflects your personality!! But, #2 is great too. What a tough decision!
Both shots are great, but I just can’t help but vote for numero uno.
#1 it is!
i like #2 the best!
Scott and I both vote for #1. You look great!
Hi Me Ra,
Though #1 is the one that reflects the “refuse to say cheese ” philosophy, I feel more of a connection on #2 because I can see your eyes and if I am reading a magazine or passing by a booth your eyes would catch my attention more…..
#1
Why?
Because anytime I’ve heard you speak you are LAUGHING and you look like you are laughing in #1.
Love #1!!! To me that shot captures the fun energy you have, and of course you look great!
#2
they are both beautiful shots!
wwell done brian
I vote for #2 because you’ve gotta see the eyes. #1 is a great shot, but not for this purpose.
I love #1–it is so you, BUT I would pick #2 for a publicity shot. You do look very personable and more professional in that image. 🙂
I like # 1 the best. Your skin tone looks great. Nice contrast with your dark shirt. You look fun and confident. Very pretty picture!
love#2. I’m a faithful lurker 🙂 Love your work…your passion & your selflessness 🙂
#2 gets my vote! Beautiful!
both are beautiful pictures !! but considering you want a publicity photo.. i’d pick #2..
I like the 1st picture
#1! it matches the picture in my head of you 🙂
#2 seems more “public” for publicity style photography – it’s open and direct, fun and friendly and like you’re ready to put your focus on whoever’s attention you’re trying to capture. #1 is beautiful definitely, but the top with spaghetti straps looks like a cami/undershirt and may send a mixed message? That’s my two cents =)
Hands down.. 1. .. It’s your personality in a nut shell…You can’t go wrong
I like them both you just look beautiful!! For a publicity photo I would go with #2 it looks like you would be someone easy to talk to and share ideas with. Hope this helps….good luck!
BIO #1….FOR SURE!! It’s classy and sweet!! 🙂
This is really hard…You look gorgeous in both shots. Uummm…I think that #2 is great. It totally looks like an author’s picture, but #1 is unconventional and stunning!!! I think I’m gonna go with #1, Bob!!! Love you guys!!!
Number 2
the first one you appear hung over your eyes are almost closed, is that a sexy look in today’s minds eyes ?

Hi Me Ra,
I like #1. 🙂
Hey MeRa, just sayin hi, its been a while since i’ve been bloggin again, have a great day!
oh yeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaa i like #1!!!
Everyone’s bio shot always looks the same…a square box around a head (think drivers license picture). Please pick # 1 and help us change the bio world:(
Hands down #1!
Love #1. 🙂 You look beautiful in both, though.
#1!
#1… Sassy, sweet and loveable- That’s You! Both are great but #1 has that artsy flair!
Numero uno! It’s PERFECT!
#1 is it…..looks like you appear on your blog and in your writing…..relaxed and confident!
i like #1, but the strap bothers me…
Oh #2 is so you…#1 is fun (that rhymes 🙂 but #2 is what I see when I think of Mera!
I vote for #2 – they are both beautiful shots of you but I love your eyes in the second one!!!
Bio 2… super cute!!
#1 is way to sexy for business… go with #2 – very warm, confident look.
How to decide?! They are both wonderful! I think #1 looks like we are getting a great glimpse of a moment, and #2 is a more direct, head-on and open look and that sure fits with the Me Ra that we met in Seattle at the workshop. I think I’d have to choose #2 for a PR pic.
there both wonderful…
but i think #1
Is it too late to vote? My vote is for #2. I just like your expression and your eyes. I feel #1 is indirect and I think the black straps distract from the focus of you.
I like #1. #2 looks too “posed”.
Going with #1. It really shows off your personality.
I like the 2nd one too.
#1 has my vote! 🙂
#1 FOR SURE! I hired you based on your self portrait ad, I loved that I felt I knew you from that picture, and the first one does the same. Nice Job Brian!
