Ain't no messin' around.

My Camera, My Kids, My Remote (+ Me)

I have been told that I should post pictures of my own self, instead of posting pictures of other non-consenting adults. Alright. Challenge Accepted.

I’ll be honest. I don’t love how I look, but I’m happy to have captured myself with my kids. And I’m more motivated than ever to go jogging, injury and all.. 😉 This is how my family sees me every day, when I come home from work. My makeup worn off. My eyes tired. My hair a mess. And now I’ve got a picture for them. You’re welcome!

I will definitely be doing this more often. I need the practice… and the motivation to exercise.

  • I think they turned out great. I LOVE the last shot of you and Isa, that is fantastic!

  • Marilou, you posted pics of you with the kids! Congratulations…they turned out sweet. You are inspiring to all of us.

  • Marilou you are beautiful! So happy to see you in some pics. You captured some really sweet moments. I love the first one!

    Marilou you are too hard on yourself – you look great & so happy to be with your kiddos! I struggle with how I look and how (un)comfortable I am in my own skin too. I read this post a few weeks back and am determined to take pics of myself with my family too – http://www.debsphotographs.com/photoblog/2010/05/is-there-a-perfect-time/. This may be a good challenge in the Sept class?! I love all of your shots but the first two are truly wonderful!

    Marilou, great post, love the expression in the first photo! I didn’t pick a fav because I like something about each one, great poses and near misses with the remote. last one is such a keeper.

    I think you look beautiful! I love the first photo – the look on your face just shows your joy at being with your kids. I have Ben thinking the same way. I need to be in more of the photos.
