A.No if you wants to execute Will, then any active participation of beneficiary will create suspicious circumstance of Will. It's settle roll that beneficiary take active participation in execution of Will, then it may be presume suspicious circumstances.
Of you want to make a Will don't make any participation of beneficiary. His Sign and Pic is not required. What is required is that his particulars should mention properly and if you are debating someone then there must be reason and Will must be signed by the two attesting witness.

A.Photos will not invalidate your will, but beneficiaries should not sign on the will, instead two unrelated witnesses should attest a Will, means they should see you executing it.
