Embrace The Camera


I really want to have lots of pictures of me with my baby(ies, someday) but I usually hate how pictures of me look so on the rare occasion I hand someone my camera and beg them to take some, they usually only last a few seconds before I delete them.

my butt looks big, look how old I look, my eyes look crossed

But then I think about my mom, and how I always thought she is so beautiful, but she too hates pictures of herself so I think I've seen maybe one of just the two of us. On my blessing day. I wish we had more, so I'm deciding to get over it and make sure I'm there in the pictures... because pictures last forever, and hopefully this lack of self confidence doesn't :).

I got the idea for a weekly blog post here:


And here's week 1. I got Matt to snap a couple of me and my girl for Mothers Day right after a huge Carter family picture


And I realize my face isn't in it. Baby steps people, baby steps. 


And a quick one of our fam: (thanks to Marlena for taking a bunch because of my insane pickiness)
