255/365 30 day challenge, day 1

Self portrait
There are a few things on the list that are going to be a challenge for me and the self portraits are right up at the top. I do not enjoy being on the front end of the camera. I'm not as adorable as the rest of y'all. Most of the time I can ignore that and go on with my happy life. Until I have to find a decent angle to take a selfie. Until I have to sit and edit me. Anyway, all that to say that self portraits are hard for me.

I knew what I wanted to do but accomplishing that was harder than it should have been. It's not perfect but I'll take it. I sure am missing the remote I had with my xti......

You are beautiful inside and out! I love your pose here. And your porch is to die for... wow!

Amy said...

Thanks Tree! <3 This isn't my porch, sadly. Oh how I would love it if it was.

Gorgeous self portrait! I still haven't gotten up the courage to take on of myself yet. How badly I need one because whenever blogs or websites ask for a photo of me, I don't really have one.

I think you're very pretty :)
Beautiful spot for a photo!

I have a hard time withe selfies too. I think in my heart I'm 25 and pictures don't lie, you know? Aging sucks! I think you are pretty inside and out. I've enjoyed getting to "know" you this year. Love the pose and location!

This is a beautiful spot...you are way too hard on yourself. I think you are pretty and you have a cute figure too! I'm losing everything at my age, and really do not do pics of myself. That is why I decided not to do that 30 day thing that begins and ends with selfies. Uggggh!

I'm so proud of you for doing this. I don't think any of us are as comfortable in front of the camera as we are behind it, but you did it and I love the results. I think you're beautiful and this photo makes you look super young...certainly not like a Mom of 3! Embrace your beauty and keep rockin' more shots like this!
