I don't care to have my picture taken. On occasion I will & I always have the most horrible look on my face, double chins, dazed and confused look, no smile, etc.!
Selfie while on vacation last week |
On our little vacation to the beach the kids kept laughing at Dear Hubby and myself when we would take a selfie. We are not selfie people so the kids had to give us a few tips.
- Camera high
- Arm outstretched
- Chin out
- Smile
- Click
Selfie at the beach |
This selfie is even worse! |
If you have any advice or tips on taking photos, please help me!
One last selfie before a wedding |
Until next time.......

You look just fine :-) I think, just like myself, you are not use to seeing yourself in pics.
ReplyDeleteThey always say you are your own worst critic...... You have such a beautiful smile and I love your out takes! They make me laugh! Thank you for the kind words.

I agree with Sheseams! I have also struggled with picture taking, especially since I have been posting on Pattern Review. I googled "how to take pictures" and found some useful tips. One source is www.kristendukephotography.com. Love your jacket by the way. I made a maxi dress from the same fabric! Karen
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind comments. I would love to see your maxi dress. I plan on spending some time reading up on the website you suggested, maybe I'll learn a thing or too!
ReplyDeleteBonnie, you can see my dress on Patern Review under the member name of krafts. I believe that I posted it on 7/27/15. Thanks!
DeleteI love your use of the Cheetah fabric for a maxi dress! We have good taste in fabric! The dress is lovely, I hope to see more of your sewing.
DeleteYou're right, we are our own worst critics! I think you look fine! I know what you mean about taking selfies though. I can never get a good selfie so I use a remote control with my camera on tripod when I have to take pictures for pattern review and you won't believe how many shots I have to take before I get a good one! And when I can't get a good one, I just crop off the head. Anyway, one thing I learned when posing is to stand so that the body is sideways and the face is front so the neck is a bit tilted, it eliminates the unwanted double chin.
ReplyDeleteGreat advice! I'm just going to have to start practicing......Hopefully I can get a good picture or two and laugh at all the rest!
DeletePicture taking is hard. .. seriously, I have several taken & then there is the process of elimination of droppy eyes, lopsided smiles, clothes askew, my short hairs out of place. Now when I have my pictures taken I tell them..... please... please make sure nothing is out of place or askew & then count to 3... ready click....lol
