Taking self portraits is a very brave thing to do especially when you are used to being the one behind the camera. I like the jumping one but I like the others too!

Oh Jen, you are so much fun and your shots capture that perfectly! I love that you chose to go with the jumping shot - open mouth and all! I have a feeling I couldn't jump without making that face, too...it's instinct! So fun to see you and the kiddos posting, too.

I loooove your jumping shot - such fun! And the t...

I loooove your jumping shot - such fun! And the two together are great. So light-hearted!

I say bring on the out takes! The ones you posted are quite nice, and the kids are cute, but I'm always up for a laugh!

I do like the "non-mad" looking one on the log - but the one you ultimately chose is perfect! I love the action, mouth open jumping shot. I think it captures your personality (or what I imagine you are like!).

And I like the close vs. far, soft vs. sharp of you and Cara's shot together, too!

although you do look gorgeous in the "still" shots...

although you do look gorgeous in the "still" shots, that jumping one seems to have captured your personality so much more effectively. love it. and kudos on getting one in focus -- that's super tough!

I love the jumping shot and the story make it even greater. I too look like I am giving the camera the "stink eye" when I try to be serious. I am with Kimberly, must watch more Tyra and learn to SMIZE!
I love the kids shot too, looks like you all had a great time.

so fun! i want to go find a log and jump around:)...

Your post makes me smile. I love the energy of your shot, and I laughed out loud at the fact that you couldn't not make the open mouth face when jumping. Such fun. :)

Oh, and anytime I try to "pose" serious or "romantic" looking, I always look like a bit angry. Must watch more Tyra apparently. :)

Yeah, I agree with Melody...any of those would hav...

Yeah, I agree with Melody...any of those would have been great. :) I do love the jumping shot, though. LOL at the kids! Oh yes, they love to get in on the action, don't they?

That is so funny that you could not jump off the l...

That is so funny that you could not jump off the log without opening your mouth! I could see myself doing the same thing...over and over again. The shots of you sitting down and posing look great too. Glad you showed the ones of the kids. I let Ella fire the remote on a couple of mine.
Cara's is so soft and beautiful. Great job this week!

I love all those jumping off the log shots. What g...

I love all those jumping off the log shots. What great action and no blur. Super cool. Your comment about taking senior pictures is too funny. ;) Your self portrait shots turned out great!

OK, I'd say you could have used any of those as they are all great. But I'm glad you choose the jumping one. I love the feeling of it and I love how it matches perfectly with Cara's close up. Jumping and photo-ing with a remote seems tricky but you nailed it.

Also love that you added your kiddos too. My girls were very interested in why I was taking pics of myself.
