I hate cameras.
Well, I like cameras; I like that we can easily record the children and family happenings. I love being behind the camera.
I hate having my picture taken.
Did I say hate? I don't think that is a strong enough statment.
I avoid the camera. I'm not photogenic at all and it takes many (MANY!) tries to get one good photo.
So, when my friend Sheri called me out publicly in her comment on my makeover post....well....I knew I had to suck it up and take a photo.
Ugh...UGH!!!
I enlisted my daughter for the job of photographer (she's good at that kind of thing) and set out to take the best possible photo. It went something like this....
Me: I need to take a photo of my hair for Sheri.
Sam: Okay. Let's go outside.
Me: Let's just get this over with. (UGH!)
Sam: Okay....Why do you look so scared??
Me: Becaussseeeee... I am scared.
Sam: Stop doing that thing with your eyes.
Me: Here, take this one. Then Sheri will know how I really
feel!
I emailed this photo to Sheri and she promptly reported back that she would be making it her desktop photo. (GASP!) I guess I deserved that....
So, I decided to just go ahead and step out here and post a few of the photos from our little session.
*Sigh*
Okay....here goes.....
TOO close (and cheesy).....
Too bright and squinty..... and WHERE did that double chin come from?? Yikes...
Okay! One good shot! Woo hoo!
Of course you're a dork! That's why I like you. (You know "Birds of a feather" and all that). Love the second to last photo! HA!
ReplyDeleteAs for the second chin, it's the angle. She's shooting "up" at you, you know that.
You look fabulous. I REALLY need some pink highlights!
I'm right with you on the "loving the camera, hating being in the shot" deal. I struggle with that too. yay to you for being brave enough to step in front!
ReplyDeleteThose are beautiful pictures and I love the red hair!
ReplyDeleteOk, you got me laughing pretty hard. Thank you for acting like a coo coo
ReplyDeleteYou are so much fun!!!! You need to be in photos more cuz you ARE photogenic! Adorable!!!
ReplyDeleteI don't know you personally but I think all of the pics look great! You look like you were having fun :) I REALLY love the color streaks in your hair.
ReplyDeleteHave a blessed night!
Those pictures are all so much fun! I don't like being in front of the camera either. I took about 50 pictures of myself for a new twitter avatar and ended up with one almost usable one that I ended up using.
ReplyDeleteI love the new look! Everyone should have pink highlights. I have been trying to figure out what fun color would go good with henna burgundy. Any ideas?
