    I echo what Cheryl said - gotta love her, her wisdom, sense of fun and who knows in another 20 years I may be thrilled I have more of photos of me from right now. When I was 19 I hid from the camera all the time, if only I knew how thin and young I really was then.

    Thank you! It's a combo of makeup and filters to soften. LOL I have rosacea so I have very red cheeks and nose and chin. I've become much more accepting of that and have even taking non-makeup selfies.

    The feeling is mutual. Love ya right back!

    Exactly, Stefanie! I was trying to say this - there were times I hid from the camera but if I had only known how much I would want to have those photos, well, I would have let my photo be taken! So I'm taking them now, knowing that in 5 years, 10 years, 20 years, I'll really appreciate them.

    I am also about 100 pounds overweight and hid from the camera. My oldest granddaughter (will be 12 in October) was looking through some pictures (her mommy's - also a scrapper and mine); she said "Grandma you are not in any of the pics". It hit me then that my grandkids might want some pics of me so I take a selfie about every 2 weeks. I have played around with some apps that "does the makeup" and they are cute but then I realized that is not the real me so here I am (wrinkles and all).

    Took a bunch of selfies in my jammies, made them into a contact sheet & applied a watercolor filter to the bunch. It helped.

    This. So much this! I've been stumbling on photos I didn't know I had that I'm in from 10, 15, 20 years ago, and I'm so happy to have them!


    I bet her mommy will be happy to have those photos too! My son loves seeing himself in photos with his Nana and Grammy. And I realized recently I don't have a lot of photos of me and my mom because we don't often do the photo thing together! All this to say: Way to go!

    this is what I keep saying-

    I have a friend of mine, a north American writer who write a book called 16 principles every woman should know, The Diva Doctrine....
    One of those principles is:
    YOU are AT LEAST 10 times more beautiful than what you think you are.
    Look at a photo of you 10, or even 5 years ago, and you will see.

    This is so so very true, I always thought I was ugly, now I look at those photos, ny oh my,how much more I would have achieved if I had known!!!!!!

    Also agree with you on loving Cheryl!!!!!!!

    I luved this challenge! As a photographer, I am always the one with the camera and never in the photos unless I hand my camera off to someone else. And honestly, I typically don't like pics of myself. But, I've been forcing myself to do selfies, alone, and with others, and becoming more comfortable with it. So.... here be mine. :-)
