It's not your fault she has a big head. Tune it up later in Photoshop.

If you cannot back up enough with your usual portrait lens, go with a wide angle.

Use a longer lens like a 135mm or more, a wide angle lens will just make her fatter and wider...

That's a good idea,she weights over 350 pounds and is a state leader who needs a good photo of her self so i am looking at this assignment as not the average sitting.

It sounds like you want to produce a flattering image of this woman, and you're afraid she won't be flattered enough. Is that your problem? A lot will depend on the mindset of the woman.

I guess if you are decent with PP you could use the Liquify tool in Photoshop. http://youtu.be/YVqC9j11c1o

Use 35mm or wider lens and move in relatively close to flatter the face/figure.
