hi!! i just played around with my tripod and self timer the other night, trying to go for a ‘life is messy’ self portrait. i don’t practice this nearly enough because it took me a lot longer than i had intended. eventually i got what i was looking for and found that the focus landed right on my “baby hairs” that have started growing in around my face and neck after having a baby last summer. couldn’t have planned it better & i find that even though i plan and i think i know what i’m going for, the outcome is almost always something different (and usually better!) than i had imagined. i posted it on my Facebook http://www.facebook.com/by.love.designs and on instagram @lovedesignsphotog if you want to see 🙂 have a good one, thanks for sharing!ReplyCancel

thank you for a brilliant post. I have a issue with photos of myself but I like how you style the self portraits. And today I did practice a bit… I stood by my window and watered my plants. with the focus on the plants and it worked… after a while, (and the plants dont neet to be watered again this year)! Now I am going to chalenge myself to put a self portrait once in a while on the blog or instagram. I think it makes the blog so much more alive.
ps I also used your blogpost about how you transfer photos from the dslr to instagram. Loved it and it is just so simple

Hey Bethcjust wondering how many journals you have? Sometimes I feel between my day planner and journal and another book for jotting down ideas that I have way to many floating around!
Love this post!
I am inspired by the everyday beauty that surrounds me! From when the first ewe lambs, when one lamb doesn’t make it, a beautiful sunset over the fields I just want to capture it all!ReplyCancel -
OMG! I love this post! I am a photographer in North Carolina and was thinking just the other day how I’m influenced by music! I love music; any kind and can’t stand it if something is not playing. Your post is exactly how I feel! I am even getting ready to start a creative project based on this same thing. I am planning on picking 10 random songs on my ipod and try to create a photograph based on the song! Thanks so much for this post and for being so inspiring to me!ReplyCancel
