Little Bit o' Me


Ashley's self portraits are so darned inspiring.
So the other day I gave it a go.
...and now if I die tomorrow my kids will have ten whole photos to remember me by. ;)

selfie-2

Wow. I have waaaay more wrinkles and freckles than I thought!
In case you're wondering, my eyes really are that color.



selfie-3

This one's my favorite. I think it's the detail in my hair.
I used my 50mm for this shot - which you probably already know does not auto-focus with my camera body. It made it a bit more difficult to get these shots, but I love my 50!


The Daily Wyatt




selfie-1

Yes, I have tattoos.
And yes, that's plural.


selfie-4

Of course I must include one really out of focus shot...'cause that's how I roll.

I'm also linking up with Selfie Saturday in celebration of actually having guts to take these! :)

    Screw wrinkles. You look amazing. And your eyes have the prettiest shade of blue.

    Have a nice day, miss Katie. :)

    Okay...I'm inspired. I love the feel of these photos...it's kinda whimsical and almost candid vs. my staged shots. I'm going to give this a whirl. Love love love.

    So good to see you! I have wrinkles and freckles, lots and lots of them, but it's best to just embrace them! what are your tattoos? I have one that I got when I was 18 and it "bled" and my whole foot is now blue. So pretty. ;) I do really want another though, just can't find exactly what I want.

    Hi, beautiful!! :)

    Wow -- what big beautiful eyes you have!! (but glad that your teeth are normal sized! haha! get it???)

    What a sweet gift to give your children: some pics to remember you by! Yay!!

    And your wrinkles look like smile wrinkles -- so that's good. And I think freckles are adorable! ha! Isn't it interesting how different we look in a pic then in a mirror???

    And you rocked your OOF shot again! ha! (ahem, I tried to get one today, but nope, didn't like it at all!! ugh! But I'm going to get one that I love!!)
