Self Portraits

What is it about self portraits? I love to take them, and I love to rope others into taking them with me. Perhaps it's the double chin elimination factor that I believe self portraits create, perhaps it's a never ending fascination with digital cameras (you can just keep taking and taking and taking!) Perhaps it's sheer vanity. We may never know the drive behind them. Here are some of my favorites, and as a bonus you see some random tidbits of my life.



My beautiful roommate Kaylee and I at a ward party.



My brother is a big inspiration to me on self portraits.


My lovely roommate Jessica and I at the airport on the way to Australia!




Cute little 4 year old cousin Jason didn't quite understand the concept...



ok ok, I really did just think my hair looked really good and wanted to capture it on film.




A particularly silly night with good friend Nicki, there are an endless amount of self portraits with this chicka, don't ask about the outfit.



This is my good friend Lucas at Bryce Canyon, I love that you can see my hand holding the camera through his glasses!



My good friend Lynette and I at a ward activity.



Another one of Nicki and I, we decided to take a night hike to the top of the Y, and I had some problems with the flash. My pupils just wouldn't adapt!



Me and a wild koala we found on the side of the road in Australia




Again, my brother is my self portrait inspiration.



hm, maybe it runs in the family...my little sister Emily.

My brother and I looking especially cute on our pseudo Christmas morning (I had to work on Christmas day, so we did Christmas a few days early)


And there you have it. Just a small selection of the type of pictures that fill my photo albums: self portraits.
