This is a great idea. I’ve been a camera-phobe my whole life and it is one of my biggest regrets that I didn’t photo myself with my Granny while she was living because I didn’t like seeing photos of myself. I don’t have any recent photos and my camera is out of commission but I’m going to share one of my favorite candids: http://www.studioist.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/bighairprofile.jpg . I’ve actually been inspired to put together a portrait gallery of myself; my husband has been begging for one for awhile and it’s actually a really interesting exercise in correcting body image.

I love seeing what the people who write the blogs I read look like.. I recently got braver about appearing on my blog, and your post is part of the reason why.

Very nicely written and insightful post. Just the kind of thing I need to hear since I’ve signed on to be a part of this: http://bloggerbodycalendar.com/ Not sure what I was thinking, but it is causing me to get a lot more comfortable with photos of myself. Thanks for sharing yours!

What a great, real post! When I look at pictures of me, I am surprised that I do not look more like I feel. I am rounder and lack the beauty that should be mine.

Look at you work your fabulously adorable self! Squee for purple toes! Squee for cute poses in pretty dresses! Squee for kiddo kisses! A perfect trifeca of Squees!

I have to confess, I got a little emotional reading this post and reading the comments because I too have major self esteem issues with regards to my appearance and hate most pictures of myself and hate looking in the mirror most of the time. Basically – what Mrs Green said. So thank you for the squee-inducing pics and thank you for your words.

You are indeed gorgeous, and I have several pictures to prove it. Not so many of myself… I really agree with Katie B: photos just don’t match what I think I look like. Someone recently asked if there had been a time when I didn’t have self-esteem: I wanted to whimper, “Yes, Now!” but I was happy that at least it doesn’t show most of the time.
