I assume you mean for GETTING your picture taken----well I'm a wedding photographer... so here goes... first off when someone says smile.... instead of getting that "my teeth are glued together with superglue" look, think of something really sexy---like maybe a girl you really like ---the smile will look MUCH less forced and more natural.... also NEVER look directly AT the camera---especially if you wear glasses... but even if you don't wear them. Always have your head turned SLIGHTLY left or right NEVER straight on ... OR turn your BODY left or right and then keep your head a tad more slightly in the opposite direction.. but NEVER directly straigh on in line with the camera----for head shots with glasses, tilt your head to the left of the right so that the flash of the camera will not show up as a reflective "sun spot" on your glass lenses.... Oh and people have a tendency to close their eyes right at the point where the flash goes off and almost all the pictures come out with closed eyes.... SO, when someone says SAY CHEESE, close your eyes quickly and then open them even quicker---that way you have a better chance at catching the eyes OPEN in the photo... my son is forever getting his picture taken with his eyes closed... except when I take the picture.... Ok that's about it for improving the smile and the look of your portrait....

Practice your "model" smile (the one where you know your look good) for 15 minutes everyday in the mirror. Do it for about a week so it will become natural to you. You'll get to know how your face feels doing that pose. 15 min. is enough.

try taking pics of yourself in the mirror with your digital camera.
use all sorts of smiles until you get the look you like.
look at each pic right away so you know what smile you used ro that picture.
then practice repeating that smile each time your pic is taken.

before hanging out with friends, family..., practice yourself....pose certain smiles, and don't smile to big!!
When i laugh, or smile my gums show , i hate it so i have to pretend smile..also, when you have your face tilted, it tends to give it an effect, sometimes it makes your nose look bigger..but not usually, or for me atleast...
usually if you have your hair down it helps....because it just bounces out if your hair is up.
hope this helps a bit! good luck! have a wonderful day!

when you are taking the pictures i agree with the two other people said and you should laugh ( seem more natural.)
