Every girl…everybody deserves a good photograph of themselves. A picture they’re proud to hang on the wall. A picture they want to send to all their friends. A picture that says, “yeah, that’s me! Aren’t I good lookin’?” I was thrilled when I showed up to this shoot and Kathleen told me that in addition to family portraits, she’d like to have a few of just herself.
This reminded me of a conversation I had with my grandma several months ago. I was trying to convince her to let me take her picture but she wasn’t having it. I even encouraged her to have a drink so she’d loosen up. A few days later she finally gave in. “On second thought, I think I will have you take my picture. It occurred to me that I don’t have any pictures by myself on Facebook.” That’s when I gasped. My grandma’s on Facebook!? I wasn’t even on Facebook! She is so “in the know”.
So, yeah, I’m on Facebook now too and grandma and I are friends. But you know what? I didn’t have any great pictures of me by myself! Oh sure, I’ve got a few candids from this and that event but nothing I’d put on the wall. Nothing I’d put on my website. Nothing that says, “yeah, that’s me! Aren’t I good lookin’?” That is, until this weekend when I met up with an old photographer friend I used to work with. He’s been doing some awesome night life and lifestyle work and building a business just like me. He made me feel like a super star and he got some really awesome shots of me. Stay tuned to see those…and in the meantime…check out Kathleen!
