I Finally Was Photographed! Everyone Needs a Photo Shoot

Even photographers need to be photographed on occasion. Joel was photographing mini sessions and it was a great deal. We picked Provo’s Center Street for the photography.

I still have goals of losing weight but that doesn’t mean I can be photographed. What if I never do lose the weight? Everyone should be photographed regularly even if they aren’t “perfect.” We all have something we would like to change about ourselves. That shouldn’t mean we procrastinate in our photos.

I am planning on losing weight. Hitting the gym and eating right are the key and then, I’ll have another photo shoot. I can even call the photos before and after.

And since I wanted another Photoshop composite I found the perfect “me” photograph and I added myself to St Thomas. Pretty dang cool. I love Photoshop!

And for these photographs—Joel was the photographer and he didn’t mind if I do the photo editing myself. Woo hoo! Not all photographers would ever agree to this kind of arrangement. I guess you need to trust the editor. Some people can’t handle that responsibility.

And for a few of the photos I went nuts with some software that creates photos that look like lo-fi film cameras from years ago. So here is one of them that looks like it was out of a Holga plastic camera, woo hoo!
