My photo
I'm a hobbyist photographer, a school counselor, a health junkie, and a mom. But above all, I'm just a woman living my truth. My biggest happiness in life is to savour each moment while it happens. That's all. That's everything.

Selfie Shoot - This one is just going to have to be artsy.


I never thought I would do this.

I don't like doing this.

I planned on another photo... a cute photo... a photo of a cute couple I know.

And then I got curious and tried this.

Um... yeah. So... this is me.


I don't take self-portraits. Ever. This is very unusual. I prefer being behind the camera taking pictures of pretty things.

I guess this will be an artsy-fartsy photo instead.

    you have the best freckles EVER!!! I'm a red head and I'm so jealous of those freckles!! mine are faded on my face. not as beautifully defined as yours......I have freckles covering my arms, shoulders, chest. i used to hate them, but with age comes acceptance of our bodies and now I love them.

    you are very beautiful!

    "Artsy fartsy" looks really good on you. there's very little about this photo that I would even consider editing. Beautiful! And, real.
