It’s my Self Portrait Time!!

It’s my self portrait time! After relaunching this new website, I needed a better picture for my About Valerie page. Images by Valerie landscapes will be on exhibit and the opening is on October 18th at Spa Escape, so I needed a photo of me to hang with my exhibit…so I had to get on this.

I am like most photographers and don’t like getting my own picture taken. I’m also like most people and am self critical of the flaws I see, the age and changes that occur and are seen in my face as I continue to conquer life and everyday obstacles. I am proud of who I am, but of course secretly wish for perfection that does not exist.

Of course this now meant that I needed clothing changes to try to express me!

Then the one that I liked the most but of course, not smiling! This one I think will be best for the photo exhibit on the wall of the spa…is it what people think their photographer should look like?

So for all of you who would like to support a local spa owner, 2 local photographers as well as School on Wheels, the nonprofit that we have connected with to receive a percentage of the sales. Mark your calendars and come to our exhibit opening at 2pm October 18th at Spa Escape!
