I take all my pictures myself, and none are filtered or edited in any way. Many men have commented on how much they love my pictures, and how authentic and intimate they are. As a point of reference, I am independent and my prices are much higher than yours.
I have thought about having a ‘professional’ set done, and I might, but for now, taking my own is serving me really well.
What I would suggest is that if you’re taking your own and you don’t already own a selfie stick/selfie tripod, buy one and make sure it has a remote control. Absolute game-changer. Should you opt for professional pictures, be sure to ask for a light touch with the airbrushing,photoshopping as I’ve noticed many with heavy handed airbrushing.
