I have to say it was quite fun and eye-opening. I felt dorky and had to warm up to the camera. I looked at a few of the first photos and almost threw up in my mouth. I'm not kidding. The angle was terrible. But, then it was fun just playing with looking a few different directions, angling the camera different ways, and moving my free hand around to {pretty much} keep it busy so I wouldn't feel as stupid.
It was a good exercise for me. I would rather be safely tucked behind my camera while you, on the other side, are exposed :). It was a good reminder to me of how you feel when I have you set up with the lights and big camera {all pointing at you} and then start taking your photos. No matter what I say or how silly I am with your kids when we start the session, its nerve-racking. You're trying to be cool about the whole situation {how is my hair, are the kids looking/behaving, is my husband even smiling?!?}, but really your probably not. That's why my favorite photos, 99% of the time, are at the end of a shoot after we've had a ton of fun together.
So anyway, maybe I'll take a self portrait every few months or so to see how I change through this year, and I'd like to do a family self portrait. Look for it sometime this Fall!
