Face yo fears...

Well, maybe not fears, but apprehensions, or doubts...

As I mentioned before, I have had a hard time capturing my own image on camera.  I've been wanting to tackle the project of the self portrait, especially because I want to offer pictures of some of my necklaces being worn when I make my etsy listings.  This is no small feat, and with the taking pictures of myself comes the need for kindness, patience, and self-love...It's a crazy thing to look at so many pictures of your own face.  I'm experimenting, trying, practicing, and exploring this topic slowly... I offer up these few samples...









This was a fun batch to edit, the light at sunset was wonderful to play with and I found a new spot in the house for experimenting...

I'm off to the studio for a late night jam session with my hammers...
Take care...

  1. love that first photo.

    the beauty of digital photography is being able to view/delete directly on the camera before having to sit down to the results screened out for us.

    [you are beautiful: believe it.]

    1. WOW! Thanks for the love, (I am starting to believe it, slowly but surely my friend). AMEN for the immediate delete button on the camera :) This has been a lesson in self-love and patience, lots of patience...

      Aloha Foxy!

  2. It IS scary!!! I remember when I first started I thought. "I'm hideous, how did I ever possibly think photographing myself would be a good idea?!" But one thing we pretty/ugly girls must remember is that EVERYONE is pretty ugly! ;-)
