It is super scary to get out from behind the camera! But I’ve been challenged lately with the fact that it’s just as important for me to be the subject of pictures as it is for me to take pictures of the ones I love.
When I see pictures of myself, I immediately see all of my imperfections … flaws that I would rather hide from the world than put on display. But then I think of my kids and my husband, who see me for who I am every single day and never focus on those flaws. Sometimes I wonder if they even see them at all. And I realize that it’s really not fair to them if I continue to hide myself simply because I’m afraid.
So this week I allowed forced myself to be in front of the camera. And it wasn’t that bad. And I’m kind of feeling inspired to do it again very soon.

Oh I love all of these but especially the first one. Did you use a tripod for these? I'm challenging myself to do a selfie on the last day of each month this year. I might steal your idea from the first photo for one of mine :) And I hear you on the "imperfections" but I don't see any here. You are beautiful!
