One thing other people have missed is.. Learn to pose. Learn what your best angles are and play to them. Models don't just stand there and the photographer moves around them, they move their bodies in ways that best accentuate their body and face.

Yup my gf is the same, a very awkward person in front of the camera. So, considering I was a fashion photographer, I tell her how to pose to highlight her best sides and she said it didn't feel that natural, til she saw the photos. So yeah it might feel awkward but your regular look isn't photographing well so you gotta try other things til you find what works.
