Theme Thursday: Self Portrait
One of the best uses of some of our wedding gift $ was to treat ourselves to a DSLR camera, and let me tell you, this thing has already earned its stripes as one of our best and favorite investments. Both Michael and I love taking pictures, and as we figure out how to use this thing we've discovered a lot about our similarities and differences in how we approach life, and not just in photography! While much more detail-oriented than most guys I know, he's still much more "big picture", and I like the "detail" shots. We go together like peanuts and Paydays. (Points for the reference!)
Anyway, all this is to say that I INFINTELY prefer to be behind the lens than in front of it, so this week's theme is rather intimidating. I found a not-so-very-long-ago selfie shot of my other half and I, (which is the best kind of self-portrait I think), from our postponed honeymoon trip to Europe last fall.
Break out the lenses, ladies and link up some selfie fun over at Clan Donaldson!

This is us in Siena, Italy - excuse the image quality, we were trying to get a good pic on his phone, I think, or maybe the uber-camera wasn't functioning properly.
In the spirit of the theme, however, FINE.This is the best you'll get from me this morning.
Raised eyebrow = really? This isn't my thing. *sigh*
Annie didn't want to be left out of the fun. How can you resist that face?!

YOu are so pretty! And your husband is so handsome, no wonder Annie is a gorgeous doll!
ReplyDeleteOh goodness, thank you - and isn't he? Yea, I think they're both keepers ; )
DeleteLooks like Annie's got a little bit of an eyebrow raise going on, too!
ReplyDeletePS, my girls sang that song at their choir concert last night - one of my favorite lines :)
Ha! I was thinking the same thing about the eyebrow- "Like mother, like ironically amused daughter"
DeleteThanks for linking up!
Lol, didn't even notice that earlier! We're still trying to figure out whose eyes she has - the jury is out from day to day, we'll see how she grows into them :)
DeleteI'm totally grooving on using the camera well to cover your face. I know people do it all the time, but you did it well. Like the camera became your nose and chin. It's like one of those sing-a-ma-jig dolls that sing "ooh" when you squeeze them, only you know with a camera. I kind of love it. It's fun.
ReplyDeleteAnd you know beautiful babies and honeymoon selfs are always fun too. :)
Thanks! It served to cover my make-up-less face at that hour, haha - glad it turned out kind of creatively!
DeleteSelf portraits are so hard, or being photographed at all. Ironically, now that I'm old and gross, I really don't care any more. You are lov.ely, your whole family.
ReplyDeleteExcuse me, you are exquisite, Rebekah! And I love your time comparison portrait!
DeleteWhat a nice picture of you and your hubby! I like your selfie and I agree that your beautiful daughter looks a lot like you with that raised eyebrow! Glorious pictures!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! She looks mostly like her daddy, but I claim a few facial expressions ;)
DeleteLove the raised eyebrow! I wish I could get mine to do that!
ReplyDeleteHa, thanks! A little embarrassed to say that I think I practiced it in the mirror back in HS, but I can do it with both the left and right, and it makes for a great incredulous look (usually accompanied by a healthy dose of sarcasm for good measure ')
DeleteThese are so lovely and sweet! And I love the raised eyebrow. :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Bobbi!
DeleteBoth you girls are just beautiful! I will have to say, I think Annie looks more like you than your dashing husband.
ReplyDeleteAw, thank you! And really? You're one of the first! I think it's mostly her dark hair and ever-so-slightly-darker (read: more olive tones than reddish) skin tone, and the fact that her eyes are still that newborn dark blue, that people say she looks like Michael. I still don't know, it changes from day to day!
