First, let me start by saying, “GREAT PIC!” It’s truly lovely!
I must admit, I chuckled a few times reading your post…there was so much truth there!
You are SO right: I am the ONLY one who seems to take a good picture of me!

I am a self-portrait FANATIC! Even if there is going to be me and someone else in the picture, I’m like, “Here, let me take it!” And they’re always so surprised that I know how to hold it at the right angle to get the PERFECT picture every time! (Practice makes perfect!)

Thanks for the candid, humorous and informative post! I thoroughly enjoyed it!

I am the only person who gets a decent picture of myself – my husband thinks it’s nuts – he either gets too much of my whole self in the picture (so I am just in a sea of background), my daughter is too short, so she gives me multiple chins..

I try to angle shots to make my nose look cute. True story.

Love, love, love portraits. Especially self-portraits. There is nothing like learning to and loving capturing yourself.

Totally agree on the chin thing! I actually also suck the waddle in (I can’t believe I’m admitting that). And if you stick your chin out and just slightly down, it helps. Never make the mistake of tilting the head back when you stick the chin out, though, ack!

Thanks for the tips, Mishi! You Selfy Pees are gorgeous.
