So seriously not trying to be conceited!!! Although there is really no need to explain myself...this is MY blog after all and I can post whatever I want for whatever reason I want!...right?!! I just feel like maybe 2 posts in a row with me in the pictures (for me) is a little "Tara-overload". I am trying really, really hard to not be such a pill about having my picture taken! The kids are always asking "Why aren't you in any of the pictures?" Well for me that was an easy answer...I don't photograph well...fat just doesn't! No matter how hard you try to hide behind people or props! So since I have been losing weight and feeling better about myself I am trying, really for the sake of my kids, to be in more pictures and not fight them when they want to take a picture of me! Someday they will want to look back through their scrapbooks and I assume they would like to remember they had a mom! :o)
So this is me....getting past my insecurities about being photographed and then letting them be viewed by the public. Even as I type this my hands are sweaty, my anxiety is reaching all new levels of high and I am thinking I don't have to hit the post button when I am finished typing and reading and rereading this to make sure it's perfect! (I have no OCD issues, really!!)
This picture was taken by Kailee...wanting me to pose in all different kinds of ways. (the way I make her do) Out of a bazillion pictures this was the only one I liked ( and even this one I think my arm looks awful and posting this is just crazy to me!!) We also learned I do not have that acting ability to "pose" for pictures....apparently I know 2 looks...smiling and not smiling. Kailee is trying to teach me how to be comfortable in front of the camera....I have a loooonnngg way to go! :o)
5 chatted at me:
Good for you Tara!!! I think moms get the shaft when it comes to picture time anyway. I was always jumping in front of the camera when I was a kid but now I am ALWAYS the one behind the camera. In our family videos the kids always ask, "Where are you mom?" Yes children you have a mom she is just the director behind the scenes. :)
You are beautiful and look fabulous!! Don't be afraid of that camera honey! :)
I love it! You look fabulous!
I had an a-ha moment at camp. It was driving me crazy that Em wasn't getting involved in the activities. She would just sit on the sidelines. Then one of the girls asked me to do a game, and I said, "No, thanks. I'm the photographer." Ack! My girl is just like me! So, bravo to you for putting yourself out into the world. Seeing your picture makes me a little "homesick." But its worth it.
LOVE YA!
I am so with you on realizing that one day my kids might wish I was in some of the pictures as proof they actually had a mom. You look awesome! No need to be insecure! Work it girl!
you should go get a photo shoot done, of just YOU!! You look awesome! I really didn't get a chance when you were up here to tell you how great you look. Probably because i was busy eating. Notice there are no pics of me this pregnancy! im really impressed and can't wait to feel good about myself again!
