online dating photos?

I need a good picture to post on the dating site I've registered for. I don't look like myself in pictures, not photogenic at all.

I don't have anyone who I'm comfortable asking them to take pictures of me. Are there any websites that offer this type of service?

I have not done online dating yet but, I did get frustrated a while back because, I always felt that I took bad pictures. Well, I looked up what the stars do to pose for pictures. For a headshot:

- stretch your neck slightly
- tilt your head slightly downward (these two steps will eliminate or downplay a double chin effect)
- press the tip of your tongue lightly against your teeth (this reduces crinkles)
- look just over the camera

I have found that my pictures turn out much better after practicing these steps. For a body shot place one foot infront of the other and put your weight on your back foot, turn slightly and have hands open, facing in, down at sides.
