New photos of me - and they actually turned out nice!

[Kirsten]

You know, as a photographer, it's always you who's taking pics of all kind of all people, but no one's taking pictures of YOU. So it's ages ago that someone took a picture of me that I really liked (at that time, I looked completely different because I had 82 lbs more...)

Today, a friend of mine came to visit. She's a very good photographer and has a professional camera, and so we went out for a photo shoot.

Here are the results:

Anyway, this is what I'm looking like these days...

BTW, we also tried to pics of me together with the girls, but they were not cooperative! *g*

Great pics Kirsten. I especially like the one of you sitting against the tree with your arms crossed at the wrist, and the one where you're leaning on the railing.

[Daisy and Delilah]

Those pictures are amazing!! Kirsten, are you saying you lost 82 pounds?? WOW!!! You look great. Thanks for sharing.:)

[Kirsten]

Thanks! :) Yes, I think my friend did a good job here, because the pics that are usually taken of me look awful! LOL



Kirsten, are you saying you lost 82 pounds?? WOW!!!

Yes, 82 pounds. Here's a pic from May 2008: :o

The good thing about the weight loss is; I'm coping so much better with the hot temperatures this year, I'd never had thought that being overweight or not makes such a difference!

Wow, you really have changed! I especially like # 4, 6, 9 and 10. :)

I'vve been to shoot some pics of the trees in the churchyard, but I'm not too happy with them - it was too sunny. Will try to get some more in a few days.

I'm still waiting for that thunderstorm!!

[Kirsten]

Yes, too much sun isn't good for pictures, we also had to find places in the shades today... It's still very hot here btw, and no thunderstorm yet! :rolleyes:


Here are three more pictures, more experimental this time. Kind of weird, but it was fun to make them:

Oh, these are so nice! Kirsten, not only is your friend a fine photographer, you look absolutely GREAT!

[caseysmom]

You look great you don't look 82 pounds heavier in that picture but you definetely look thin now, I am jealous:D

[krazyaboutkatz]

You look great and the pictures of you turned out well too. Thanks for sharing these with us.:)

[Barbara]

Kirsten you have fantastic eyes- you look a little shy in some of the pictures but very attractive.

[Catty1]

What totally funky hair! Wish I could get mine to do that! :D

I love those pics! I guess the girls thought it was YOUR turn, as they get to be the subject of your flashy box all the time!

Ya look great, and your friend is a wonderful photographer!

[Daisy and Delilah]

Congrats on the huge weight loss!!! Awesome!! I don't think you looked that heavy either. You carried the weight very well. I'm so impressed!!:) I also love your hair.

[RobiLee]

The pictures are great and you look fantastic!

[Grace]

Beautiful, Kirsten. Thanks for sharing :)

[K9karen]

:eek::eek: Kirsten! Look at you, all skinny and beautiful! I LOVE your hair! I could never pull it off, it looks great, and fits your artistic nature! I loved all the pictures! Each was so different! Thanks for sharing!

[Kirsten]

Thank you! :)

Well, re. my hair: This is actually the only way I can wear it. It's very thin, and when it's growing, it's just looking awful!

Kirsten

[moosmom]

[beeniesmom]
