New Profile Picture...What Would I Do Without The Help Of My Kids?!

I have been meaning to get an updated profile picture for a long time. It has only been something like 20 haircuts and 2.5 years since my last one was taken...

After coming home from getting my hair cut, again, I asked Isabella if she would take a photo of me. She was distracted, currently in the middle of making applesauce with her Dad, trying out the new food processor. So I had her attention for five minutes, tops. First thing she did? Tell me to wipe away my lipstick! She is not a fan of my "too brown" shade. Oh well, I know for certain I will be making a similar remark to her in a very short period of time. So...off came the lipstick, or most of it.



We found a spot and she took enough shots to get one good one.

"Thanks Isabella, I appreciate it...", I said as she ran back to the kitchen, nearly tossing the camera back to me.

She knows what is really important: Time with Dad & cooking!
Pin It!

Love the new picture, Janell, and that we can see your face up close! Isabella did a great job, even distracted! : ) I need to think about getting a new one done myself, but I am so picky and bad with pictures. I'd need 100 to pick 1 I actually like! I usually go to a Glamour Shots place, but they are too much now. My current photo is from last March but I like to keep current.

That new haircut look so fresh and young. Your daughter got the job done right? How funny that kids can do things so quickly when they have other fun things going on.

lisaroyhandbags said...

You look great! I noticed your new pic on your last comment on my blog and I actually remarked to my guy that "oh Janell's got a new pic". No comment from him but he was too engrossed in his blackberry to notice - sorry - but I love it. You look great in that purple shade. :)

A Perfect Gray said...

been meaning to comment about your new photo since I saw it up. looks great! she did a good job...

pk @ Room Remix said...

My profile picture was outdated too so I deleted it and STILL haven't replaced it. I have the camera, but unfortunately no child photographers running around the house. Thanks for reminding me that I need to get it done. Yours turned out great - maybe Isabella will become a photographer? If she does that well on the fly, think of what she could do if she focused! :-)

Jack and Annie said...

She did a great job! What a talented lady, stylist, photographer, artist and now chef!
