I took this photos yesterday, they are definitely not perfect, not even close, kind of like me.
I HATE being in front of the camera, it feels much to selfish and vain to me but I think my kids need to see some pictures of me that aren't from my 20's.
I took these in my bathroom(where the light was) at arms length so was rather limited as to poses and such. I REALLY need to figure out that darn timer. :0
So without further ado here they are the once a decade self portraits. PHEW!
Olympus E500
14-42mm, 3.5-5.6
ISO 800, 1/25, f/4.o Does the scarf look familiar? hehe
Up the nose, the perfect shot for flattering nostril shots! LOL The pose is awful but this photo really conveys just how I feel about being in front of that lens.
Even though this is super noisy I kind of like the feel of this one, I suppose I could always embellish the truth a bit and say I put a texture on it. :D Alas it is just crappy shooting that caused it, oh well. I particularly like how this one makes my shnooze look humongous. ha!

you are a beautiful 33 year old. And, I love them. I like the last and first the best. Isnt it liberating for some odd reason? lol. TOni
Very awesome...I think my fav is the one with the color for sure. You are beautiful!
I always hate doing self-portraits, too. . . but these are really fun and you'll be SO glad you have them later on! :)
You look marvelous, darling! Love seeing the scarf on you. I love the BW one!
Great job and I have to say that I have never considered 33 as being middle aged. I'm 32 and if 33 is middle age shoot me now jk. I'm too chicken to do a self portrait where you can actually see what I look like.
great job at getting in front of the camera - i so know how you feel, i am my own worst judge you look great though
I would be taking self-portraits if I was half as pretty as you!
I think they are all great. I love your expressions. :-) the last one is may fave. For real. I like it. I'm still growing a set for the self portrait.
I am horrible at self portraits! You did a great job! I like the first one best.

The noise totally works in that last shot, it's a really nice portrait of you-flattering. I personally LOVE that second shot-hilarious!
Well done!
I hate self portraits too...but these turned out really great :) Love your scarf, and the angle on the 2nd one :)
I love your b&w selfportrait, it looks awesome! Great shot!
Hey there, cutie, nice to see you! You are beautiful and I love your flippy hairdo. And I'm older than you, so if you're middle-aged, I must have one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel!
P.S. because I forgot to tell you that I got my clock in Boothbay Harbor. I forget which store, but I think they're all owned by the same person because every time I walked into one, they'd give me a coupon for one of the other ones. I was on a never-ending loop for a while there. :-)
You look great and I like the photos. I like the first one best, but the second had me laughing, your description sums up my thoughts of being a photography subject too!
awh, i love that you did this! the middle shot cracked me up, thats exactly how I feel as well, which is why there will likely never be a photo of myself on my blogs :) you are one good lookin chick!
that's so funny - I kept scrolling back and forth between your blog header and your self-portrait to see what it was that looked the same...
then read your comment about teh scarf. DUH.
I love these shots, they are honest. And you are too cute! WTG getting in front of the camera. I think it is important for our kids to see photos of moms, too!
Good for you for doing this! Your kids will appreciate it so much. i think my favorite is the first one - love the color. you are beautiful!
These are great! It's so good to "see" you! I hate doing self-portraits, too.... but I especially hate editing them! :)
You are a beautiful 33 year old I like the funny face one enjoy these years because they pass by fast and soon you will be where I am 41 uh
Great conversion!
Good for you!
great job on these! i love the feel of that last one too--very Tara Whitney looking.
too cute!
you are too hard on yourself, i think you are beautifUL>

You are very pretty! I like them all!
Well, young child, (I'm 54), your 2nd way is very, very beautiful. And we ALL kind find unflattering angles; the challenge is the flattering angle, which #2 definitely is. Way to go!
