hi.
I seriously didn't want to do it.
Thought about feigning some tragedy so that I could get out of it. {kidding!}
I don't mind being in a picture with my kids or my hubby, but alone is a different story!
Finally I just bit the bullet and took some pictures.
I lugged this big ole' antique mirror from a yard sale down to the woods.
Glad we don't really have neighbors because they would have thought I was a nut. Oh wait....=P
After experimenting with that I set up the tripod, set the timer and was running back and forth like a crazy chicken.
Just a bit of advice for you...buy a camera remote!!
After all that torture, I wanted my hubby to pick.
He liked this mirrored one best.
Hoping this isn't as painful for you as it is for me..... =)

ReplyDeleteyou look like a model, Laine!! This is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI think I am skipping this week, so I will feign the tragedy for you. :)
I love that you took the mirror outside...genius! Yes, a tripod and remote would have helped immensely this week...a future investment if my kids ever want to see a picture of their mom! :)
ReplyDeleteI love how you are peeking up from behind the camera... love it!
ReplyDeleteLove the lighting on your face.

Us women are always our own worst critics - but you really need not be here, you look great and the picture is very cool.
ReplyDeleteThis is a gorgeous picture of you! Love it!

Really thoughtful composition! Taken outside! That is really clever and super cool. And you are absolutely beautiful. Fabulous selfie!
ReplyDeleteLove this.
ReplyDeleteWow, you put a lot of effort into this. Me? I just stood in front of my bedroom closet door lol.
Camera remote. Yeah, I definitely need one.
Great idea, beautiful you, incredible lighting. Well done, you should be proud.
ReplyDeleteGreat job! Really!
ReplyDeleteGreat picture! I love that you dragged a mirror outside! HI!
ReplyDeleteI did the crazy chicken back and forth in the hall. V
ReplyDeleteYou look absolutely beautiful. I really like the way the focus is on your eyes. Being able to clearly see the one with the other peeping out from beneath your hair draws people into the picture. Great shot. I looked like a lunatic running back and forth too. And I do have neighbors. And I have five chickens who clucked at me the whole time.
ReplyDeleteEven with a remote shutter release I still had to run back and forth just to check the shot. I love your picture!
ReplyDeleteLove the lighting and shadow effect.
ReplyDeleteI love this shot- you really should do it more often. You are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful picture!
ReplyDeleteGreat photo! :)
ReplyDeleteyou have perfected the art of the self-portrait! beautifully done. :)
