Dipy #5 ~ self portrait

Dipy Week #5 - Self

If there is one thing I hate more than photos of myself, it is a self portrait. Of course, I agonized over what to do and how to shoot this for so long, I literally had a 10-minute window to try to get something this afternoon, just so I could send it to Kimberly in time. So while Kimberly looks all glam in non-mommy clothes, make-up and all – you get me how I usually look on any given Wednesday. T-shirt, jeans, no make-up…and like I am many days, peeking out from behind my camera.

(We still make a pretty sweet looking duo though, huh?)

Stop over to see all the faces behind all of the Team-Up Thursday pairs today.

  1. You said it. I struggled with what to do to, and while I someday want a picture where I’m all dolled up again without remnants of lunch on my sweatshirt, I have a feeling that the images of us as we are tell more of a story.

    Jeans. T-shirt. No make-up. Beautiful.

  2. I see this dip as you the photographer and she as the subject, like you are photo-ing her right this moment. And, although Kimberly does look all dolled up, most of the time I’m sure she, like all of us, are right there with you. It’s a fanstastic pairing. Great job.

  3. You guys are definitely a nice looking pair. If I looked that good in mommy clothes and no make up I would have taken my photo au natural as well. You two are gorgeous.

  4. I am totally digging what Melody had to say. What a cool way of looking at our duo. And come to think of it, I agree with Jen too. If I looked like you au natural, I’d have shot myself that way. I need a little extra work though. ;)

  5. Yes, you make a pretty sweet looking duo! I am more on Kimberly’s side where I prepare when I take a photo, but a natural photo is good stuff too. My kids take them of me all the time, where they ask to take pictures with my camera. I won’t necessarily share those photos of me in my snuggies and no makeup and barely combed hair, though… ;)

  6. nothing wrong with a “photog au natural” self-portrait :) . it’s a great combo, actually; i like melody’s comment that it looks like you are shooting kimberly. and believe me, i was feeling anything but “zen” when i shot mine this week ;) !

  7. Seriously – that we all looked so good in jeans, a t-shirt and no make-up!!

    You both look great!
