My mother would like a proffecional picture taken of me in my cap blues, is this against our regulations?
Get permission from your Squadron Commander...it should be fine.
I don't see any reason you can't.
I'm guessing you meant something like a portrait made by a real photographer. No problem with that.
I don't recall any regulation for or against such. Have a US flag in the background. Look at other people's military and CAP portaits online to get an idea of some good looking setups.
NO NO NO NO NO NO, DON'T DO IT! Just kidding, go ahead. Just make sure it looks professional IE don't look stupid on purpose.
None to my knowledge, I just had one done recently myself. I called up a photographer and said I wanted to do a "standard portrait" like the ones I had way back in school, but I wanted an American flag in the background so it appears on the left of the photograph, sent in a couple sample photographs to explain because I've seen people with a flag that was the full backdrop ( a style I don't really like ).
(http://www.au.af.mil/au/holmcenter/images/BIORoss.jpg) example with flag appearing left (CAP-USAF Commander, not me of course).
For CAP (especially if you are a cadet having one taken for the family) I don't think you need a flag at all, but with one, I think it comes out nicer looking.
The flag's technically on the right. :P Its own right - its position of honor.
I had a formal one done in my USCGAUX service dress. My flotilla mates who saw it said it was very good.
I should get one done in my CAP blues...or a "hero shot" in my blue utility jumpsuit standing next to a F-100 on local display. :P

That is right, it's technically on the right, so it appears on the left when looking at the person from the front. ;)
I wore my uniform for my school pictures one year in high school. Will post it one of these days.
