2012 Attempt at Self Portraits!

I finally got a tripod! This means that I can try some more light writing projects as well as attempt some self portraits! So, I’m pretty excited to say the least! =D

So, in the hopes of showing a little bit of who I am, I got my beehive on, and fancied my lips and eyes up. I really love hair and make up. It was a fun project to get all dolled up and get some pictures that I like of myself. Yes, like a lot of photographers (and people in general I guess), I rarely like pictures of myself. But in the end we’re all our own worst critics, and usually pictures of ourselves are not as bad as we think. I still look back on pictures from when I was 19 and think “Wow! Why did I think I looked bad back then?!”.  It’s complete crazyness! =)

Anyway, here’s my 2012 attempt at self portraits!

And of course because I’m a bit of an awkward creature, once my husband came out into the back yard where I was I felt a bit silly and he snapped this one of me. Oddly enough I think this is one of the best pictures of me I’ve seen in a quite a while. Awkwardness and all. <3
