Oh, This Will be Good

In a totally uncharacteristic and unexpected move, I am having portraits taken tomorrow. (Did you know my eyes stuck out like that? Neither did I. And how about that hair? Crazy Turner Hair, I tell you...)

I'm having major second thoughts, and recurring nightmares of all the myriad ways this could be very, very bad. (Did you know this is what I look like when I teach piano? Neither did I. Those poor kids! Thanks for setting me straight, Ernie!)

I'm just sure how well this plan was thought through...

But hey, go ahead! I'm ready for my close up... *grin*

We'll be taking some kids/family shots too....whatever happens, I can't wait to see how it turns out! The photographer has some really cute ideas, based on my description of our house as "Crayola." Kids with sprinkled donuts, the family messing around with paint in a light-flooded dining room with art work on the wall behind us... it should be fun! In what was originally supposed to be just a "stay at home mom" portrait session, documenting what exactly that means... I've managed to deflect most of the ideas away from myself. Because isn't that what it means to be a mom?

PS- PLEASE...if you've ever seen a GREAT picture of me in a solid/bright colored shirt...speak up now! Something that won't bunch funny when I'm not paying attention, something that won't make me look like a billowy elephant (I seem to favor those shirts right now, they're so comfy!), something... that will look good. You know? :)
