Ok so I might have struggled a little with taking my self-portrait for I Heart Faces this week.
Here's a few that I decided against, for various and sundry reasons.
This one would be great, if I washed my bathroom mirror. But I can't remember the last time I did, so I have something which is probably toothpaste splatter on my head.
And this one makes me laugh because I am not quite sure what this face I'm making is. It looks like I'm trying to be sexy. I am giggling just writing that, because trust me - I was not trying to post a sexy self-portrait while holding my baby. Oh and my battle scar (beside my eye - from a baseball bat . . . ) is just far too noticeable.
I may have mentioned this before, but cleaning? I hate it. Hence the filthy mirror. Also, I was clearly confused about where to look in order to be actually, you know, looking at the camera.
Sometimes, when I am taking pictures of people (or just watching people take pictures), I make really silly large grins. It's good for my street cred.
I like the last one the best. Jayci's grin is adorable and the joy on your face as you photograph her is undeniable...love it!
ReplyDeleteI love the mirror one when you're not looking - it's almost as if you're about to be surprised by the Shower Monster or something.
ReplyDeleteMaybe you can reverse it in some photo editing software? It's adorable, and I didn't notice the mirror...because mine looks strangely exactly like it.
I love all of your outtakes! I had fun laughing at all of mine! In some of them, there was not even a close resemblance to a person in the picture!
ReplyDeleteLOL I LOVE the one with the big huge smile behind the camera. I LOVE a great smile :)
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures! Too bad you couldn't enter them all! And who actually cleans their bathroom mirror anyhow? I know I don't!
Honestly I think they're all cute!!!! and just to add Jayci is adorable!!! AS ALWAYS
ReplyDeleteJayci is adorable, as always - but you look HOT, Becca!! Seriously... love all of these photos.
ReplyDeleteI love the pictures! The hair accessory looks adorable on your daughter!
ReplyDeleteYour daughter is absolutely beautiful! Her eyes are so gorgeous! I love all the pictures of you and your baby girl! I think all of them would be great entries! I think your facial expressions add so much emotion to your photos! It goes so well with yuor babies grins!
ReplyDeleteI especially like the one of you taking a picture of your dauhter in the mirror. I love your facial expression! It is priceless. Good luck in the entry
That's great! I think we should ALL do an out takes post with the pictures that we took trying to get our photo for I Heart Faces! I'm sure we all have a ton of extra ones!
ReplyDeleteAnd ouch! A baseball bat that close to your eye?? Yikes!
I think the first is just gorgeous of lil one, as well as the third one of you. That is a VERY good picture!! Did you know you can edit your pictures to enhance them for the contests?
