There are people that specialize in doing author publicity photos, that give you all the rights to the photos from your photo shoot. (For $300, you get a CD containing 6 raw photos, 3 color and 3 b&w, with one color and one b&w also digitally retouched) Then you can use the photos for anything you want, and print out copies to include with press kits, as well as including on your web page, as part of the author bio at the back of the book, or for online interviews. Otherwise, you'll buy the prints of your photo, but if you want copies made, you have to get them from the studio where you got your original photo.
In general, outdoor photos and "action shots" are considered less professional than staged photos, unless they are somehow relevant to your bio/book material. (For example, a western rider who was a competitive barrel racer had an action photo of her riding through a barrel racing course.)
