I mentioned a bit ago that I had pictures taken of just me. No kids. No hubby {it was a surprise for him}. A clean shirt and a chance to feel pretty.Misty met up with me early one morning {she's a mom with four little ones too!} and we walked around town taking pictures here, there and everywhere. She has been gracious to give me a few of the proofs to share with you all {and one of these days Rick and I will have time to sit down and let her know which ones we're going to order!}.
If you are wondering why I wanted pictures of just me...well, mainly to document that I am here since I am sadly lacking in the majority of pictures we have of our day to day life. That and I am tired of waiting till I lose that last 10 pounds. Or five pounds. Or have it all together with my hair the way I want it....blah, blah, blah. I just needed to do it!
That said, I have a few favorites ~ one of which is my new profile picture - LOVE it!
If you live nearby, Misty is working on building her portfolio for her business, and I'd be happy to get you her contact information or you can contact her through her website or blog. She's great to work with!! Be sure to stop by her blog and comment on her recent family pic - too cute!!
These all came out so great! I absolutely love the one of you on the bridge. Very nice!! Bet you felt like a queen for the day. Your hubby is going to love these!
ReplyDeleteThose are really good. How nice that you two were able to get away. I love the one of you on the bridge. I hope your husband enjoys.
ReplyDeleteYou look great, and you don't look like you have 4 kids either! Wow!
ReplyDeleteWow, you look so pretty! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures! The photographer did a great job and she had a lovely subject :)
ReplyDeleteYou look HOT!! :-) I'm so needing to do this as well! You look so very beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteWOW!!! Those turned out great. You look awesome!! Good for you.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! You know, I know that I exist in our family, but no one generally thinks of taking pictures of me to prove it. When I ask my Hubs, he half heartedly takes one. I'm busy grooming my daughter to be a young photographer and to take decent pictures, including ones of Mommy!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful lady! I love the red. Have a super wonderful day!
ReplyDeleteI like them! :)
ReplyDeleteThose came out great!! And good for you for getting something done for yourself- I so feel you on being missing in all the family photos. I will as hubby to take pictures and he will get like 4 and I might not even be in any of those either lol.
ReplyDeleteThese are just beautiful! I LOVE them.
ReplyDeleteAngela
Oh MY!!! You look so wonderful!!! I don't know how you would pick a fav. they all look so great....great photography!!
ReplyDeleteI noticed the new profile picture a few days ago! So nice to see the full size ones! You look gorgeous! And I love your hair! So cute!
ReplyDeleteCurses on you and your five or ten extra pounds. ;-)
ReplyDeleteOkay, that was rude and jealous sounding, so maybe I should just say: You look beautiful! The pictures are great!
Look at you chick!!!! You look so beeeautiful!!!! I love them!!!
ReplyDeleteYou look great in all of them, but I think my fave is the last one. Very cool effect!
ReplyDeleteYou are gorgeous! And you were so fun to work with!
ReplyDeleteWow! I noticed your new profile pic the other day and thought how cute it was - but these bigger ones really show how beautiful you are! I love the shirt you are wearing - the color is great. Awesome!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful and that color looks great on you!
ReplyDeleteLOVING THESE PICTURES!! You look amazing and I wouldn't change a thing. Your hubby must be one proud man!
ReplyDeleteLove and Hugs ~ Kat
Great Pics! Way to pamper yourself!
ReplyDeleteBy the way.... you DO NOT NEED TO LOOSE 10lbs!
You look great!
WOW you're so stylish....I'm feeling rather frumpy now. :)
ReplyDeleteYou clean-up very well.
ReplyDeleteI love the 2nd and last pic...you look great!
Great pics!
ReplyDeleteI understand what you mean. I have NO pics of me with (or without since having them) the kids. Kind of sad, but who would take it? LOL! Good for you having someone do this. Awesome! I may do it one day (ya know, after I lose 10 pounds... haha).
What beautiful shots, Jolanthe! You're so smart to have these taken. I'm absent in so many of the shots of when my cubs were little because I was cameragirl. Hubby realized that, too, so he's always asking to have the camera now. Your husband is probably so thrilled to have these pix! Thanks for sharing your lovely pix!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos!!!! Such a great idea...I need to have some pics of me taken...one day! {smile}
ReplyDeleteGreat pics, Yo! Love the bridge one and the one of you looking all serious! :) And that 5 lbs you mentioned...I think you used to talk about this in college as well and I NEVER EVER saw what you were talking about! LOL You look wonderful as ALWAYS!
ReplyDeleteYou look STUNNING! Good for you for doing something like this.
ReplyDelete(Oh, and 5-10 pounds? Puh-lease, you look perfect just the way you are!)
Oh wow, what beautiful pictures! Seriously, all of them: gorgeous!
ReplyDeletePretty, pretty lady!!! You look beautiful!
