But here are some more #selfportrait
I had a lot of fun making these self portraits yestoday. I’ve long struggled with self-confidence, but I’m finally starting to get comfortable with who I am as a person and not worrying as much about how I’m “perceived.”
I turn 34 in just a few weeks. It’s about time.

Feeling a bit “down” on my work lately, so here are some good bubbies from the weekend that make me feel better.

I didn’t realize how much I missed the flexibility of digital photography - being able to get out and do reasonable night photography this winter is going to save my mind from going insane, I swear.

Have I mentioned how much I love this little dude?
Shout out to my friends for giving him this toy. He loved it while we were living with them temporarily, so they gave it to him as a gift so he’d have something that smelled familiar after the move.
He has a bunch of new toys that get ignored now.
