Ensure that your makeup is perfect
This means that the foundation should match the skin tone exactly. A little too light and the effect in photos is bound to be unflattering.
-
Study yourself in the mirror/or take a look at your old photos
Take a look at some of your favourite photos of yourself (or try posing in front of the mirror). This can help you emulate your best poses, or smile or hold your chin in a particular manner that makes you look flawless.

You are not getting a passport photo taken. So create an angle for the photographer. Chin up and chin down can also help in creating a noticeable difference.

If you are getting profile shots done, hold something in your hand/s
A flower/ a candle/ a coffee mug/ a pen/ a newspaper/ a pair of spectacles/ an ear ring… anything that is near you/ available to you. Empty hands can kill a good picture.
