Coming Out

I’m currently re-vamping my website.

And as I always enjoy putting a face to a name myself I have reluctantly decided that I should have a photo of myself on there. 

So today I have had my photo taken (and then subsequently deleted) far too many times. 

I don’t like having my photo taken.

I have rarely seen a photo of myself I was happy with. Is this just vanity or am I very self-critical? Are they the same thing?

Anyway, here goes. This is the one I kept…

    I’ve always known you were beautiful from the day you were born and that I was a lucky Mum to have you. I’m so proud of you.

    Janet,
    I never really try and imagine what bloggers look like, but I must say that now I can see your look in this photo, I can see that your work echoes your colouring, and the clothes you wear. You alway use such a beautiful, calm palette. It is a lovely photo.
    Well done to the photographer as well.

    I think I need a photo session……

    Well hello there! Its so lovely to put a face to blogger! You are brave, I hate putting my photo anywhere! Usually, if I have to, I’m usually half in the dark, in black and white or not looking at the camera!!!! Well done you x
