8 Selfie Saturday, Week 3: Valentine's Couples Selfies
In light of the upcoming Valentine’s Day ( and our 8th anniversary), I went ahead and changed this week’s theme from Arm’s Length Portrait to Couples Selfies. We are all photographers, some amateur, others professional, so we ought to be able to take our own couples photos, right? And what’s a better time to do that than the Valentine’s week? The toughest part of taking selfies of ourselves and our hubbies is that hubbies come in two sizes: uncooperative and completely uncooperative. It’s practicallyimpossible to get our loved ones in the picture, let alone make sure that you have enough time to set up a tripod and work with the focus or use the timer. So I say: “Girls, take this opportunity and...

0 Selfie Saturdays- FULL BODY linkup
That time has come! The one you’ve been dreading! Your full body shot link up!  Haha just kidding! It’ll be fun! GET FIT Challenge members are also participating with their first full body shot to indicate a starting point in their fitness program, so let’s give them some encouragement  {insert clapping here} So there’s a very good reason for why I am posting early.  I decided that it was too confusing to have a tutorial for the next week but a link up from the previous week in one post. Silly me! I don’t know what I was thinking. So now I am changing to the traditional format. That is : Tutorial and Link up for the following week’s project. So in order to do that, i need to catch up. This post will...

17 Selfie Saturdays: Our Dream Self
I am excited to host my first Selfie Saturday linky. This week’s theme is in conjunction with our new GET FIT Challenge, “OUR DREAM SELF”. The goal is to post a past self-portrait, which will serve as sort of  an introduction of participants. For those who are taking part in GET FIT challenge  (if you aren’t, it’s a good idea to join), OUR DREAM SELF represents their  goal of what they want to look like, and serves as  motivation to work hard. If you’ve ever taken a self-portrait, go ahead and link up with it.  If you’re new to self-portraiture, I encourage you to participate every week, since I’ll be covering various topics of shooting self-portraits. Every week i will be posting tips...

Introducing Selfie Saturdays in Conjunction with GET FIT Challenge!   I have been thinking about hosting a weekly self-portrait challenge for a quite a while now and finally the time has come. Too many talented photographer are seemingly inept at taking pictures of themselves. They either have no idea how to do it and where to start, or do not like pictures of themselves ( see GET FIT Challenge if that’s you), or never find time for the set up required to take self portraits.   Time has come to develop that skill!   We are all beautiful and we all deserve to be featured and shown. The key is to feel confident and know how to take pictures of yourself. You won’t need anything fancy in the beginning but it would hurt to buy ...
