For all my new readers, I’ll let you in on a secret.
I take my own photos. Really! It’s just me and my tripod…self-timer and/or remote. I don’t have any professional experience and most of the time, it’s trial and error to get the shot I want.
But I’m sure some of you already know this.
And the thing is…most of my photos are not pretty, which is why only a few that end up in my blog posts. For every one good photo, there are at least 10 bad ones. It’s a pretty low ratio but I’m getting better at figuring out what works and what doesn’t. It’s a continual and gradual process of improvement.
I am not perfect and I don’t pretend to be…I make mistakes.
Here are some of this month’s photo fails.

Practice makes perfect, right?

This is so cute! I take my own photos, too, so I know all about these bloopers!
I love that last one where you’re flipping your hair! Perfect moment captured!

I love your umbrella blooper. =)
Since I take my photos in a garden, most of my photo bloopers involve last minute flinching, ducking, swatting and running due to curious critters.
I love you for posting these – you have such a great personality!
I take my own photos too so I definitely understand. ” For every one good photo, there are at least 10 bad ones” is a pretty accurate estimate =)
hahah love this! I have been self taking photos as well and it gets so difficult. I agree every good photo there are at least 10 or More bad ones hahah
Practice makes perfect!
Your photos turn out really good in the end though
I half think these bloopers are intentional
You still look way too cute, Jess!
lolol i love photo bloopers! glad you shared jess i had a couple of good natured laughs
you should see some of mine … they’re gut-wrenchingly silly
Hahahah very cute post my favorite one is the one where your hair is flying (you are wearing the pink & leopard.)
Oh, trust me… my ratio is about the same. I’ve been taking some incredibly bad photos lately. I use a tripod, too, but it’s so much easier to have a photographer.
Wow, you do a really good job on your own! I am still trying to learn as I go. I know my photos aren’t perfect but I do see some progress.
