Black & White

This is my favorite photo from my daughter’s birthday.

When I do actually curl my hair and put on make-up, I like to grab a kid for a quick self portrait. We usually have tons of photos of our kids, but not many with us in them. If you have long arms like me… try this sometime!

  13. Oh, I love the birthday photo! What a sweet little ballerina she is. That makes me really miss my daughter’s dress-up days.

    I’ve tried the self-portrait thing with limited success. I’m in the photo, or at least part of my face is in the photo. LOL. I need more practice!

  20. I can see why that first photo would be a favorite from your daughter’s birthday – the boa, the tutu, the mirror and esp. her expression makes everything about it perfect!

  22. Wow – you really do have long arms! And a beautiful face and adorable child, but honestly? I’m still thinking about your arm…

    Just teasing. Great pic! I met you at Blissdom, harassing you in line to see Ender. 🙂 Going to check out the rest of your blog now…

  24. Amy, your little birthday ballerina is so precious! The reflection of the mirror, the feather boa, and her little tutu just gives the shot such a great vibe!

    And that first shot is just perfection. Absolute perfection.

  27. I absolutely LOVE your child entry! The boa around the mirror, the tutu, the reflection…and it is all perfect as a B&W! And my, oh my, aren’t you beautiful! Great capture of yourself.

  29. Great entries Amy! And, I just saw a gadget in some geek magazine that actually puts an extender on your camera so you can take self portraits without the arm up in the air look!

    Although, I must say that at first I couldn’t tell you took this the photo of yourself and your son.

    Both are adorable! I love the curl to your hair too!!!

  31. Oh, you are so pretty! And I love that pic of your daughter in the tutu. I think dress up days make great portraits. Can’t wait til my girl is old enough!
