I always mean to take more photos. Afterall, I've got a good camera attached to my phone nowadays, and I've always got my phone with me! So, when I found out that Sally Russick of
Studio Sublime had set up a
photo journal challenge this year I thought it would be fun to sign up. Sally will be sending out an email once a week with a theme for the photo, and we're to publish them every Saturday. This week that challenge was to take a self-portrait. And the biggest part of that challenge for me was finding somewhere where I could take a photo without a little person wanted to "help"! So, I locked myself in our bedroom while Jamie was having a nap!
So then, this is me on a Saturday afternoon taking a quick break
between packing up the Christmas decorations and cooking pasta for tea!
This photo has made me realise just how much my hair has grown!
What a great photo. I love how relaxed you are and how much you seem to be enjoying your "alone" time (something hard to come by with a little one). :)
ReplyDeletehi Jo! :)
ReplyDeleteI agree with Tanya...you look so calm and relaxed here! I LOVE your hair!
ReplyDeleteOh, nice shot... you have beautiful hair!

great pic! and can so relate to someone wanting to 'help' ... my daughter has my phone most days and has more apps stored on it than I do!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo Jo! You look fantastic and your hair is gorgeous! My son always wants to help, too! Sometimes you thank god for the small things like locks on a door. :)
ReplyDeleteI love how real everyone is being with this prompt!
Sometimes a mama just needs to lock that door! I love this photo because you look comfortable with yourself in front of the camera!
ReplyDeleteLove the relaxed and comfy photo...and also happy to know that I am not the only one that waited until this weekend to take down the tree..but think I will keep the lights up!
ReplyDeleteLove the curls! I have pin straight hair, it won't hold a curl even if you burn it in. Ah well. You look beautiful and relaxed and fun. I was the lucky mama of a no nap day, pretty sure I looked the opposite
ReplyDeleteYou looked so relaxed and happy - and your hair is glorious!
ReplyDeleteI noticed your longer hair in the picture at the craft show! Was that picture taken in the mirror? I think your hair might be even curler than mine, mine just had waves until I moved to the coast... lovely picture!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful photo! I love your sweet smile and your gorgeous hair. You seem at ease with this assignment, unlike myself.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and natural. Both the picture and the hair!
ReplyDeleteYour hair is fabulous! Its so nice to see another view of you... and know you better.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo! I look forward to seeing your photos throughout the year!
ReplyDeleteGreat photo!! You look so at ease with yourself :) Love the bell sleeves and your beautiful curls!!
ReplyDeleteGreat shot and I love the retro treatment you gave it!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful hair! Love the shot, and I love that we are getting to actually see each other. :)
ReplyDeleteCool shot - love how you look relaxed on the bed!!
ReplyDeleteGreat photo! I love how relaxed and content you seem to be ...
ReplyDeleteThis is a really lovely shot. Though it sounds like you had a lot going on at the time, you look happy and relaxed, just as you should be on a Saturday. :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo. It has a dreamy quality like the old ones taken with 110 or 126 film (I think that's what they were).
