New Self Portrait

I needed a new portrait for the CRAVE Calgary guide coming out in November. So I thought I would try taking a self portrait.  And I am actually happy with it! I very much sympathize with my clients who don't care to be photographed. But it is one of those things - the more you do it, the more you get used to seeing yourself as others do.  And perhaps you let go of a few of your own hang-ups. Be more gentle with yourself. Retouching my own photo showed me how it feels when I show someone else how beautiful they are.  I feel good about this shot.  And that is a rarity in my world! Here is one of the final versions.
