I had a friend who had this problem, and we discovered by accident that when we shoot the pictures down at an angle, with the camera higher than the subject it made a world of difference!. I've since tried this with other people, and it usually works really well!. Sometimes I have to shoot down, and off to one side or the other to get better results!.
If you have a camera with delay, and a tripod, just experiment!.
You might also try listening to music you really like while posing!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Instead of just smiling, try laughing, it usually looks more natural and keep your eyes open and "smile with your eyes"

Make sure to keep your chin down, if your chin is raised too much it will make your face look wide, like you have jowls!.

Some of the prettiest people are the least photogenic because of the way the shadows and angles of their faces appear on camera!. Trying different lighting can help!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

My sisters always complain that "I'm not photogenic, don't take my picture!" Yet they always want reprints of my photos of them where they're being spontaneous and natural in casual happy settings with family and friends!.

Just my suggestion - just be yourself in a pleasant setting when photographed!.
