So, as the title of this post says ... I am still trying to get more comfortable taking pictures of myself. After I wrote
this post, it occurred to me that this is myself .... this is
me. Why should I feel so strange taking pictures of myself, or looking at my own image? It is kind of like hearing my voice recorded ... sort of makes me cringe. I don't know if I will ever think that my recorded voice sounds "like me", but I thought, "hey! I am a 32 year old woman, I should be comfortable with the way I look!" So, I set about taking some more pictures of myself. Like this one ...
I actually sort of like that one, because I have makeup on, my hair is done, etc .... but then I decided I should be comfortable with out all of that too! So, another picture of me ... after
sweating gardening for 2 hours.
A little bit funky in this one, eh? Ha, ha. Anyways, I think I am getting a little bit better at editing my photos too .... so that is a plus!
For those of you, who like me, are uncomfortable taking pictures of themselves, or seeing themselves in pictures ... what do you think that says about us? Anything? Nothing?
Hugs,
You look incredibly beautiful in both those pics! I think we all just have that disconnect between what we think we look like or sound like and what we actually do, so I think that's where the discomfort comes from.
ReplyDeleteYou are beautiful - with makeup/without makeup! I have the same feeling however and at age 51, okay 52 in 2 weeks, I have so many photos of my children and family and I'm not in them! I hate that now. I've been on steroids for a lung disease for 14 years and let me tell you I have days that are not so lovely but take my picture anyway! I'm still here and now it's photos with grandchildren!
ReplyDeleteYou are gorgeous Sara. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise! Especially yourself. XOXO Kim!
ReplyDeleteI just took a blogging course from decor8, and one of the things we were encouraged to do was to put a current photo of ourself on our About page. I was really hesitant, being 20 years older than you are, and not such a natural beauty. Let me just say, though, that my readers reached out to me and made me feel so much more secure about it. Now I'm glad I did that!
ReplyDeleteYou're absolutely beautiful!
