The One Where My Daughter Took The Pictures

 


so i decided
that it's time for a new profile photo

and since
i don't have a tripod
and haven't practiced
using the timer on my camera

i figured
that Little Miss
could have a go
at taking some photos of me

to which she happily agreed

okay mum!

not gonna lie

it took some practicing
with the settings and light and stuff

plus
it's not so easy
posing and grinning
and trying not to feel
ridiculously self-conscious
the whole time
i kept thinking random things like

are my wrinkles to wrinkly?
i think my front teeth are off-center
chin up?
chin down?
just how grey does my hair look in these?

however
Little Miss had no such worries

indeed
she worked like a pro

mum
look at me
now look away
now look at me again

smile
don't smile

fluff out your hair

click
click
click

she's kinda bossy sometimes

we picked out a few
that we liked

and now
you get to throw your two cents into the mix

ready?

this one's my favorite
except

isn't like
a rule or something
that you have to be facing toward the camera?

here's another of the finalists
slightly out of focus though

this is me looking demure

which
in real life
i ain't

call me crazy but
i adore my hair in this one

however
my shoulders are too scrunched up
or something

this one
i fondly refer to as

la airhead

now here's one i kinda like

i don't know

but this one's where i'm 
clutching onto the pillow for dear life
thinking oh my lands are we done yet?
is still my favorite


are you tired of looking at me by now?

well then
hurry up and pick one already

(and mom
if you're reading this
don't even think about
leaving a comment like
they're all lovely!)
