I really need my photographer back!


I used to have my daughter take all of my photos. And even though she sometimes went crazy with the camera, who cares? It's digital anyway. Well, now that DD has her own apt, I have just my tripod and self-timer to take my pictures. They never look as good. Out of 11 pictures, I looked pregnant in about 8, my eyes were closed in about 6 and the rest looked just plain unflattering. Oh well, this is the best shot I could get at 6 am with my hair still wet and my face with the "I just got out of bed look" even though I got up at 5:15. I am planning on wearing the blouse today. I can already see that I think I would like to sew a button on the placket just to keep it closed with out looking like it's pulling. The arms are a little snug when you reach forward, and other reviewers noted the same thing. I guess I better not miss water aerobics today lest that problem increase!

I know what you mean! Photography with a timer leaves much to be desired! My DD/photographer quit on me long before she left for college!

This blouse looks very cute on you! I agree with the timer thing. It takes so much longer to get a passable shot. Your final picture looks very good.

The blouse looks great on you. My photographer went away to school too. Kids - once you have them trained they leave! Maybe she'll come home to visit?

Makes me thankful for my photography crew! You look great in the blouse - very feminine and pretty.

Very pretty blouse. I know what you mean about taking pictures, both of mine have little patience.
