include a photo of yourself!!!!
soooo... I'm headed out of town for a much anticipated and needed girly scrappy weekend... and posting this early for you
I know this is soooo hard for us women, we prefer to be behind the lens instead of in front and then we get all picky about what we look like in the photo... I'm sooooooo guilty of this!!! I keep thinking, when I lose 20lbs, when I pluck my eyebrows, when I dye my hair... and then a year goes by with practically no photos of us in our album while we wait for perfection that will never come...
I don't want my kiddos to look in the album and wonder where mama is in the photos... I also don't want my daughter to do the same thing when she has a family... and here's the thing... your friends and family see you the way you are now, and everyday... so get over the hurdle of needing to look perfect and put yourself in front of the camera, take selfies or hand the camera off to someone, or find a remote and tri-pod... your family will treasure it, because it's YOU that they love... gray hairs, pimples, love handles, double chins and all
