I am thrilled to share with you that I am partaking in a creative photography adventure for the next 52 weeks with 16 other photographers. We have collaborated on a list of 52 themes, one for each week of the year. I will take a photograph that demonstrates how I interpreted the theme and post it on my blog each Friday. Then below my image, you will see a link to another photographer who is also partaking in the challenge. She too will have another link on her post. You will love having the opportunity to hop from one blog to the next and see how different photographers were inspired by the same theme/prompt. The talent in this group is amazing!
Our first theme for this week is self-portraits. We thought this would be a great way to put a face with a name and really see who we are. It can often be difficult for photographers to reverse roles and be in front of the camera, but it is a great reminder to us of what we are asking of our clients. My self-portrait includes me and my littlest guy, Jack. It is especially meaningful to me because he is giving me some love in this image. I am first a mama & wife, then a photographer, so that is what I chose to share in my self-portrait. I also included a favorite quote by Brian Andreas in my image. I am a lover of quotes…I have notebooks full.
Now you can enjoy visting Jenn’s blog and seeing her self-portrait.
