Dear Linda:
I once painted a young man with a fondness for Malamars. In fact, I think he still had one in his mouth while I was snapping pictures. Once I had a usable photo, I focused on the positive, (his eyes were the color of chocolate), and softened up the less flattering aspects of his face.
I would suggest just taking normally lighted photos and then use your judgment with regard to the jowls, etc. Do some charcoal drawings and see what you can soften without losing the likeness. And what ever you do, save the cookies and juice for after the shoot.
