Actually, funny story. I have big eyes similar to hers. When I smile normally, they squint so I look like I'm closing my eyes or sleeping (and my eyelids are very trigger-happy with flash so it's a double whammy). I then get the feedback to "open my eyes" and I end up looking insane like that photo. So it's a lose-lose situation.

In general I photograph poorly tbh, I look better in mirrors and in motion ๐Ÿ™‚โ€โ†•๏ธ๐Ÿ™‚โ€โ†•๏ธ

Same. Rather than "opening your eyes" raise your eyebrows. This will "open your eyes" a bit without summoning the full crazy eyes.
