oh ‘eck. I have managed to escape all prompts for selfies that seem to have been doing the rounds. That’s not to say I didn’t donate to a cancer charity when the last campaign regarding selfies happened, I just didn’t really want to do the whole “show your face thing”. And then I remembered something I touched upon last year about mums not being in pictures. Funnily enough I even mentioned it when I did a Gallery post last year with the same theme (The Gallery Faces — September 2013 ).
As mums we dont like being in the photos, we are mostly happier taking the pictures of our family. But it almost air brushes us out of our family’s lives. In years to come when looking at photos, where are we? Nowhere to be seen as we are behind the lens. So here you have it.
Me.
Full frontal. No make up. But in black and white because we all look just a bit better in black and white.
That is a lovely photo of a friendly open face.
Such a beauty 🙂
Fantastic picture.
*goes off to try photographing self in black and white*
Stunner. Nuff said.
This is a great photo – you look so natural! I am trying to get more photos with me in them with my children but is is difficult! #TheGallery
Lovely photo! x
I am not always in the photos too =P
Not so proud of my face. Love your smiling face. It may take some more time before I can post a selfie in the blog =P
#TheGallery
oh that makes me sad my little Pixiedusk friend. You should be proud of your face. You really should.
Great picture x
Love this, and it’s a great photo x My post also involves selfies, without makeup, and I also used black and white… but then braved the colour 🙂 #TheGallery
This THIS THIS (and if I could type it any larger, T H I S)
I’m always banging on about getting mums into the family photos. And you put it perfectly T ” . . . but it almost air brushes us out of our family’s lives. In years to come when looking at photos, where are we?”
*Pins this post. And Google +s it. And hugs it a little*
My selfie Gallery photo was in B&W and was very forgiving. And what you say about us being behind the camera too is so true. I love this photo of you x
Too true, I had to ask my OH to actually take a photo of me with our son on my birthday, I’d missed the opportunity on Mothers Day.
And I bet you feel all liberated now – selfies are a must these days! Liking the black and white tip 😉
I just want to squish your face! X
