8-6-12: Who You Are Photoshoot

Hi again!

Today, I wanted to share with you guys a "photoshoot"  that I recently did. I haven't done much in the way of photography in these last few weeks, :'( and so, I came up with an idea. I wanted to document everything that described me, that made me who I am right now, at this point in my life. So... Here it is, tell me what you think and them go out and do the same thing! I'll explain more on that below...

 SO, who am I? Well...

1. I'm a Role Model
2. I'm a Best Friend
3. I'm LOVED
4. I'm a Writer
5. I'm Waiting for my Prince Charming
6. I'm a Missionary (In training)
7. I'm a Disney Freak
8. I'm a Big Sister
9. I'm a Music Addict
10. I'm a Country Music(totally had to separate, Country music is a HUGE part of my life) Fan
11. I'm a Christian!!
12. I'm Kayla

So there you have it! This, is who I am... who are you? Wanna do a Who You Are Photoshoot for yourself? Well... here is how!!

Step One: Collect anything and everything that describes you! Photos of loved ones, wrist bands and papers from past life-changing events, your favorite object(s)(ipod, journal, a book, cellphone ect.), the list can go on and on!

Step Two: Wear your favorite outfit! When do you feel confident in yourself the most? For me... 90% of the time it is when I wear an outfit that fits my personality. So, when I did my Who You Are Photoshoot, I wore my all-time favorite outfit. My purple Gap tee, Plaid Gap scarf, and Old Navy jeans with my high-top converse shoes(can't see this but still, important to feel like yourself head to toe!) So, wear whatever makes you feel like you! Weather that be a fancy dress or jeans and a sweatshirt... just make sure it is YOU!

Step Three: Take the pictures! Now, for this, you can do it two ways. Either have a tripod and set a camera timer(or use a remote of your camera has one), or have someone take the pictures for you! Maybe play some of your favorite music to get you smiling YOUR beautiful smile!

Step Four: Make a collage and post it on your blog! Personally, I use www.picmonkey.com and would recommend it to anyone, it is very user-friendly(especially if you used to use picnik), it's free, and has lots of options. Once you are done, post it to your blog and share with your friends who YOU are!

God made you to be a wonderful child of His, and He created you to be unique!  Showcase this with the Who You Are Photoshoot!
