(personally, I'm still scared to do this!)[/QUOTE]

Amberskies, Thanks for you kind comment.

Hey I was scared too, but after I got started it was really fun. I've got some crazy outtakes and also some halfway decent portraits. My husband wants to frame one of them! Give it a try. I never let anyone take my picture if I can help it, that's why I'm always BEHIND the camera. However, after doing this I think I'll feel a little more comfortable in front of a camera.

If you look closely you will see my silouhette in her eye. This is an actual reflection, not photoshopped. Since my children are my world, it seemed fitting as a self portrait.

Of course you can, I don't own the idea, I got my idea from someone else's photo. I just expanded on it. I'd like to see your's after you do it. Have fun!
