30 Day Photo Challenge: Day One: Self Portrait

Today begins my 30 Day Photo Challenge. For a while I have been feeling an undeniable urge to create and this project feels right to me. So I dusted off my camera and searched until I found a great list, read my camera's manual and found out some awesome features. So wish me luck on this journey of beginner's photography and please give feedback!

Day One is a self portrait and sadly, even on the first day I have slacked off and did not take a new one. I am using one from just over a year ago. (Sorry, today was the first day my toddler spent a day with his grandparents in almost two weeks and I was just so excited for some "me time!")

Freshly dyed hair, sarcastic look and a little fall decoration to hide the date/time stamp! I'm still on the fence about whether or not I want to add a little something or slightly Photoshop my images. This one is untouched except for the leaves (and a little dirty-house cropping). I will hopefully be doing a bonus image on a different day with a current self portrait that is a little more staged. I will keep you posted!

Tomorrow is Day Two: What You Wore Today.

    Kelli, thank you for the compliment! I won't tell you how many other pictures I sifted through that had been taken at the same time, haha. Thank you so much for following and I really enjoy your blog!
