Focus On Life: Week One - Self Portrait


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!

  1. 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). :)

  5. Beautiful 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. :)
    I love how real everyone is being with this prompt!

  8. Love 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

  10. I 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!

  21. Beautiful photo. It has a dreamy quality like the old ones taken with 110 or 126 film (I think that's what they were).
