For posed pictures, I have a couple of general suggestions. - Turn your body slightly away from the camera. About 15 degrees. IMHO, most people photograph better at an angle than straight on. - Position yourself so your head is even or above the camera's lens. Again IMHO, most people photograph better from below than above. Being so tall, I noticed that pretty quickly when I got a camera with an LCD and started shooting from more of a chest level than my eye level. - Look slightly away from the camera. This will reduce red-eye, and, especially in your case, reduce the reflectivity off your eyeglasses. (Or take off the glasses if you're comfortable with that.) - Nobody looks good in the harshness of a flash. Get further from the camera and have the shooter use telephoto, and/or lower the level of the flash if the camera can do it.
I'm no pro-photographer, but I shoot a lot, and there are some things I've noticed over time.
