Starting with myselfI don't know why I get so concerned about the first of something. There is always something significant about a first time-first day of school, first kiss, first day of work, first blog post on a new website... Well here I am, and I decided that this year I would "put myself out there" more. I guess admitting in public that this is scary for me qualifies as being out there, being vulnerable and hopefully a few people will be able to relate. Last year I started to develop my photography skills by completing a photography course at Fotofly Academy where I learned how to be a portrait photographer, a lot of my fellow graduates are already starting their own business, but I feel like I want to explore more about what type of photographer I want to be. This blog will chronicle some of that journey. I'm a little fascinated with how multi-dimensional people are, and how different situations can show different sides of a person and still be true. One place where this can play out is in social media. I had a photo session with my husband where we took pictures and one became his Facebook profile picture and one became his LinkedIn profile picture with very different looks. I thought that I would try this with myself. My husband took the pictures, but the set up, concept and edits are mine, so I guess these qualify as self portraits.
This picture is for my LinkedIn profile and is more straight forward, crisp and shows confidence and competence. Which one is more me? I think it depends on the day, or moment, or how you define it. Comments

both are beautiful. I think you are right that they each capture a part of you. I'd love to see a picture of you laughing, that's how I see you.
