Here's how it works. You take a picture a week of yourself doing something with one or all of your children. So by the end of the year, (I'm getting a late start) you have at least 52 pictures of yourself. I encourage all of you to do it. This can only be a good thing. Here's my first one.
We're trying to make funny faces but I was concentrating more on the camera. I think that this was our fifth try to fit me in and get it right. I'll have to work harder at honing my skills here.
Thanks Shannon and Amberly for the inspiration. Truly all should consider this. Even if you don't blog. Take more pictures of yourself!
i'm the picture taker in my house, too. i recently decided that since no one wants to take pix of me, i'd do it on those good-hair days or when i'm feeling great. like today. i like my new 'do and the shirt i'm wearing, so as soon as i wash away last night's mascara rings, i'll get out the camera and continue perfecting the arm's length self-portrait.
ReplyDeleteI think project 52 is an awesome idea but I think I'll try project 12. That is still an improvement!
ReplyDeleteYou never cease to inspire me, Kimber! That is really a good idea! I'll have to give it a shot. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you have jumped on the bandwagon. Charlie looks so grown up!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree. I take all the pics too, and as we go through pictures my kids say, "why aren't you in any of them mom?" So I have now been a lot better about telling my husband to take a turn, and also doing the self taking pics.....which turn out pretty funny sometimes. Good for you. As much as we hate pictures of ourselves, our kids need to remember that we were a big part of everything they did. BTW....cute picture!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! Perhaps I will try too!
ReplyDeletethat is such a great idea and such a cute pic!
ReplyDeleteHave you ever heard of a tripod? or a timer? Try those and you'll be in 102 pictures. Good luck! Or wait until Charlie's 12 like Mason and buy him a camera, then you'll be in lots of pictures.
ReplyDeleteif there is one thing i don't need it's more pictures of myself. once you get a macbook, photobooth opens up a whole world of vanity.
ReplyDeletebut you're pretty. and we all want to see your face more.
I only take pictures of myself. What are you talking about? Who needs pictures of anyone else?!
ReplyDeleteOkay...Shannon inspired me, too! Thanks Kimber for the post...I loved that picture. But, it made me miss you even more!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! Seeing your face makes me miss you more! :(
ReplyDeletei love this idea and i have taken a few pics of myself but they are always too close and i just can't stand them, but yours looks so cute!
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful idea. You won't realize it now but when your kids get older they will love pictures of themselves with their parents, especially lone at a time.
ReplyDeletePlus, you and Mike are such cute and awesome parents they will be glad to know you when.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! I'm HORRIBLE at finding a way to get in front of the camera. I need try harder! Your photo is cute, by the way.
ReplyDeleteKimber, you are so fun to play with that I forget how beautiful you are.
ReplyDeleteKimber,
ReplyDeleteYou really are very photogenic (for those of you who don't know, she won an award for this when she was little). You look so pretty. I miss you!
