I have long wanted to participate in Self-Portrait Tuesday, but have never done it. So when Lelly put the challenge out there, I had to do it!
There's something so cool about taking self-portraits. Especially with a digital camera: you can immediately delete the horrifying shots! (most of them in my case) Plus, you have total control, so you can take measures to diminish chins, etc.
I'm not sure why I seem to prefer the ones that don't show my whole face, but there you have it. I like my lips and I like the color of my eyes, although I don't enjoy the wrinkles around them. And miraculously, I don't mind my hair, either. At least this is infinitely preferable to the truly scary passport photo I had taken on Friday!

I LOVE it that I, your mother, am the first one to post a comment on this fabulous photo of you, my eldest daughter! I love the photo too! (I must know more about this technique of lessening double chins-it does not not have anything to do with the "one hour lift" thing advertised all over the TV, does it?!!) It is a beautiful self-portrait, to be sure and I don't notice a single wrinkle, what are you talking about? I will enjoy revisiting that post for as long as it is available. After all, every mother crow thinks her baby's blackest!
Michelle,
I loved this post. What a beautiful picture. I also loved your mother's comments...that finished off the post perfectly. Congrats on posting such a beautiful thing.
That's a gorgeous picture of you! You definitely have great self-portrait taking skills. I look forward to Tuesdays.
that is a great pic michelle! i hadn't heard of the self portrait tuesday. yours looks beautiful.
That is a beautiful picture of you. How did you manage to capture everything so perfectly?
I haven't heard about self-portrait Tuesday. I must be missing out.
Michelle I love this picture. What a fun concept, self-portrait Tuesday. I think you should but this picture on your banner.
Great picture! You and Jessie have such a gift for taking great self portraits. I love your moms comments :)
Beautiful beautiful picture! And I loved your mom's comments. Very sweet. I have to learn some self-portrait techniques. All of mine seem to be from a frightening neck angle -- no matter where I hold the camera. eeek.
I just saw Jill's and had to see what you came up with. I have too wanted to participate in self portrait tuesday, mainly because I have taken a bunch, but I've never posted. I did take some today I was planning on posting later in the week.
The picture of you is awesome. I agree it is difficult to do, but so fun and much easier with a digital.
I also love the photo...very cute!! And I agree with all that mom said. You are very good looking, and take great photos!
Michelle,
That is a great picture of you!
I just got my passport in the mail, and all I can say is "Yikes!" They say not to smile, but I look totally mad!
You are beautiful my friend, inside and out!
Hi Michelle,
Jill mentioned you on her blog and I have noticed you comment on several of the blogs I frequent. Just thought I would introduce myself. You already know my sister in law, Kelly. Love the picture!
oh my michelle you look stunning...and stricking and beautiful...and wholesome ...and just like kristi said once you are the true picture of romantisism...and the neatest thing is that you took the self portrait...sometimes it is funny how "spontaneous things....really resemble our truest self" nothing else comes close. I have been inspired to do so, although I am way late reading this post...and it is almost wednesday!
Oh my goodness! What a beautiful picture of you! Could you take my self picture portrait? *sigh* I know, that isn't really what self portrait means, but I don't want a double chin, or wrinkles either. You look absolutely beautiful!
Michelle, I LOVE your hair in this picture! You did an awesome job and really set the bar high with your skills. I started laughing at mine, they are not good!
Your mom sounds so cute. The crow quote is the best and SO true!
I love that picture of you!! And your mom totally cracks me up!
great shot! i hope you found, like i did, that it wasn't so scary!
your hair is gorgeous in this photo, especially fun given the fact that you have shared your 'hair issues' with us.
Love your picture! It sounds like fun too!
awesome pic, michelle! i love that your mom posted first about it and that your dad did, as well.
love your hair!
Very good picture. That is never what I look like "right this minute." You are so photogenic.
Your mom's comment it so sweet.
It looks like I will be needing some self portrair skills if I plan to participate.
Fun photo of you today. LOVE your hair!!!! I will attempt to do this today - although I can already tell you that I lack in the self portrait skill dept. - but worth the try!
What a great photo. I love your hair. I would love to have some sort of curl in mine. Yours is fabulous! Your moms comment was very sweet!
