Help Pick! 2010 Publicity Portrait
In the past few years, we’ve done an annual photo shoot of publicity shoots to offer magazines, newspapers and TV shows (for teasers about segments) of me doing whatever it is that I do best. These photo shoots have to be done annually because photos end up being published hundreds of times and—let’s face it—I do get older.
This year, my friend and amazing photographer Laura Moss shot my official 2010 PR photos in my new home and I thought I would ask all of you with some help in choosing one as our official pick.
The top one is me crafting away in my most favorite room of the house: the craft room. Here I am glazing a plate to be fired in the oven after the shoot.
I love my new kitchen and I’m in there all the time cooking up a storm. I love seeing the original hood vent incorporated into the shot, along with all the eco-renovations so prominently featured, including the recycled glass/concrete countertops from IceStone.
This shot works for me because it shows the decorative side of the home: the dramatic fireplace, the mix of textures and colors, the strands of LED lights hanging in the backdrop. I even love the paintings I bought at auction can be seen in the background, too.
And we shot this one in the foyer as I was just lacing up my shoes for the next shot. And guess what? It made it into our final picks.
I don’t mean this post to be so narcissistic or self-centered, it’s just I need help. I hate looking at pictures of myself and I just can’t see clearly. All I see is “my chin looks weird” or “that shirt makes me look really fat” when I pore through these pics.
If you could comment what your favorite choice is—craft room, kitchen, living room or foyer—I would so appreciate it. I will also randomly pick one winner to win a giant box of Method goodies as my way of saying thank you.
Lacing up your boots.
Now how did you make that belt bag?
do the last one! you connect w. the camera the best in that one.
your shot in the foyer, it shows your lifestyle- the bags says it all.
Foyer! Adorable!
I’ll ditto the foyer! You look the most natural…
Yes, the foyer. The light on your face is the best and you look very natural. That said, they’re all very good.
I like the last one the best, where you are tying your shoes simply because it looks the most natural and makes you look the most human and the least posed.
Totally the craft room, you’re doing something neat and the background is so interesting. I did like the foyer too though – makes me wonder where you’re off to!
lacing the shoes. it’s the most active and interesting…and natural…to me.
Yep, I agree, the foyer is the best!
Love the belt bag & totally want that how to in the new book!
