I
hate having my photo taken. Hate it. If I’m in your company I see you reach for a camera from your handbag, that would be the time that I quietly disappear to the bathroom. I hate it so much that for our wedding I requested two things: No full length shots {which were ignored, thankfully} and no photo session.
I just wanted happy snaps, no posing.
And then there’s Facebook. Not only are there bad photos, but now there out there for public view. Fan-bloody-tastic.
I started the 52 Week Project last Monday. Amanda from the blog Mocking Bird left a comment saying that she did a similar project last year, but she took self portraits instead. At first that seemed like hell to me. But then I got thinking. This is the year of ME. This actually makes sense. So I switched it around and now I’m going to take a photo of myself every week {eek. What am I getting myself into!}. I’m playing catch-up so here are my first three…
Lacey and I were playing dress-ups in this last one. Funny.
Let me know if you decide to play along. xx
Ooh, what a great idea! I'll play along!
I love your ring in Week 2. x
Brilliant idea!
Count me in too <3
Hey there, I'e been following along with your blog for a while now. This is my year of Me too!! That's why i started blogging – to find me again. Just popped over to see your other blog. I too have joined WW (but I'm only doing it online -not attending meetings). I started last week (last 1.5kg Yay me!!). Will look forward to checking in to see how your doing. Goodluck and cheers to a new you and me by the end of the year 🙂
oh i may play along 🙂
ur pics are very creative =]
Chantelle you are beautiful. I hope this project will help you to believe that too!
You are very brave.
I might join – if I get up the courage!
Fun fun! I'm doing a 52 week project, but I'm photographing my pug, Lola.
You are just….cool! Your blog is cool, your photos are cool, your fancy dress is cool. I am loving your project! Its a great spin on the original concept!
theres a flickr group for this! when i decided to do the 52 week project – its where i got the idea but im not brave enough to do so many photos of myself… i think i only made it into about 4 photos last year!
i might just do every 3rd or 4th week of myself to join in the fun telle? will sleep on it and let you know!
rowe x
Isn't it funny that when we look back on photo's of years gone by, they don't seem as bad as we remember, yet photo's of ourselves 'now' always are worse than we imagined?
Loving your blog (esp. the vintag-ey feel and layout!)
Chantelle you are very photogenic! Looking forward to seeing your project and creativity unfold. Love the pics so far!

Hooray!
It is really satisfying when it's all over.
I mainly did it because I wanted to work on my portrait work and when you haven't got a lot of willing models around, why not use yourself?
I hate having my picture taken and often end up feeling that I hate myself when I see my photos, so I thought it was probably a good confidence booster to try and take them myself and make them good.
I ended up not liking lots of them but it was good for me to put it out there anyway.
But I did end up with quite a few that I did like.
Hooray for giving it a go, Chantelle. 🙂
Sounds like a fun project!
i know u have bad self image etc… but telle,from those 3 pics posted, you look stunning in all 3!! It is so hard to understand others poor self image can exist, when to others they are so gorg!!
BUT i totally understand it!!!
Fun game!

oh fun.
count me in.
first i need to buy a new camera though. mine has just died.
You're beautiful and I hope you know that. 🙂
I love that last pic Chantelle! And I bet Lacey looked just as gorgeous during dress up! 😀 xxx
I love the last photo Chantelle! I can't wait to have a daughter to play dress up with!
I used to paint my sister's face when we play dress up! Or one time, I told her, let me dress you up as a sushi.
And I rolled her in layers of blankets where she couldn't get out. I think she ended up crying. I am so mean…but fun memories!
you have amazing eye brows. seriously.
@Jane & Ally: Yes! Yay! Yipee! Remind me if I miss your photos. I can't wait to see them!
@Caz: Go girl. That's great. We can cheer each other on. xx

It surprises me to hear hear that you don't like photos. Your such a beautiful women. Looking forward to 52 faces of you.
Hey Chantelle, thank you so much for popping over to my blog…glad you love the music..I have another suggestion for you on the music front, pop on over to youtube and checkout Billy Joel (i know dag-a-rama!) but his song “Goodnight my angel” I think you will love it…

@Melissa: Aww shucks. I can't guarantee they'll always be pictures of my face, but they always be me.
@Jo: Thanks. I'll pop over and have a look.
@JoyfullyGray: Thank you. xx
Hi Chantelle!
Good luck with the project. They're lovely pics so far, but I hope you stop hiding eventually 😉 The camera likes you a lot more than you give it credit for.
Chantelle, you are so beautiful. You would be the girl I would be envying as you stroll through Tama! Love the third photo, gorgeous!
Love this – and your last shot especially! xx
Chiming in late to say that I love your portraits and that they show such different sides of you. My admiration for you continues to grow! 🙂
I hate photos too and one day hope I have the guts to do the same.
ok… i did it… i cant believe i did but it was fun!
