I needed a photo for an application form the other day and I was genuinely struggling to even find a photo, let alone one that I felt happy with. I did find several on my mobile phone taken by the children but me peeling potatoes, from behind, from three foot off the floor was never going to be my good side.
It is coming up to Britmums live and it would be nice if someone recognised me and said hello. It is so embarrassing doing all the hellos and having someone stare at you blankly! So to double the number of photos of me on the blog I give you not one but five. I think they all show a different side to me, a different aspect of my personality, but not entirely sure that any of them are my good side.
In truth, I was trying to find an angle that didn't accentuate my sagging jawline. How is it that I still feel 24 yet my passport says I can add two decades to that? Pesky passport.
So there you are. This is me.
And next time, I may even take a self portrait after I've put on some makeup!
Joining in with Sticky Fingers and the theme of Self Portrait for The Gallery.
These are lovely - you look beautiful - really interesting portraits. I love the dreaming shot. It will be lovely to see you again this year at Britmums! X.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to it!
Deleteyaaaay you have shown yourself!!! how lovely to meet you and i think you look beautiful! now i can recognise you at Britmums (hopefully!!) x
ReplyDeleteYour avatar and your photo on your post look so different! I hope I will recognise you x
DeleteBeautiful. I love that you've labelled all of your looks.
ReplyDeleteI've thought of a few few more since ;-)
DeleteI want to know what you were scheming!! lol
ReplyDeleteI'm always scheming something. never actually do anything about it mind you!
DeleteLovely natural portraits! I too will recognise you at BritMums now! :)
ReplyDeleteYou are on my list of 'must meet' bloggers!
DeleteGreat self-portraits and nice post. xx
ReplyDeletei really love this and your photos are beautiful! if i had to send off a picture for an interview i think i would melt down! x
ReplyDeleteThese are gorgeous photos - you don't need make up!!
ReplyDeleteSadly I very much do as I can't walk round with a clever picmonkey filter over my face!
DeleteYou don't need make-up! I look at these and see amazing eyebrows (wow, such great arches), a face with so much character, wisdom, cheekiness and stories to tell. I love the way your hair falls, curling at your jaw bone and the natural glow of pink in your cheeks. My favs are wistful and dreaming - but they are wonderful together as a collage - what a lovely idea!
ReplyDelete*blushes*
DeleteThank you so much. I have more than a natural glow going on now.
*blushes some more*
Beautiful photo's! You look gorgeous in all of them x
ReplyDeleteYAY! You look stunning without the make up missus :) x
ReplyDeleteAw fanks x
DeleteOh you don't need make up Mrs! You lovely bloody lovely :)
ReplyDeleteThe wonders of picmonkey filters sadly cannot be applied in real life :-)
DeleteThese are beautiful, love the knowing one :) xx
ReplyDelete*looks knowingly your way* :-)
DeleteHello pretty lady! Just what are you scheming...? ;)
ReplyDeleteAha! Something that will probably never come to fruition ;-)
DeleteFab photos! I wish I looked that good without make-up! I shall try and commit that face/those faces to memory so I can come up and say hi at Britmums.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to meeting you. I will know your hair x
DeleteLove the dreaming one, beautiful light, angle, and subject :)
ReplyDeleteThank you x
DeleteOh hello lovely you! I'm so glad you took the plunge and put these up, I'll definitely be saying hello if I spot you at BritMums! Gorgeous pics x
ReplyDeleteI am going to make an effort to take more selfies with the children too.
DeleteI like wistful. A lovely shot.
ReplyDeleteThank you x
DeleteI'm like you and don't like to put photos of myself out there but these are lovely!
ReplyDeleteIt was hard to take the plunge but I'm glad I did.
DeleteThis is probably the best and most honest self portrait I have seen. Every angle is beautiful and really shows you.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much x
DeleteI love the wistful one, so beautiful
ReplyDeleteSuper pictures I love the Wistful one x
