Time to get all mushy: my wonderful friend Kelsey (K.B. Squared) is SO strong. Not just because she has three (amazing) kids… but, because she is a beautiful and wonderful woman! I love growing with her (yes… we have been friends for way too long…).

This weeks guest judge: ME! This weeks challenge: Self portrait.
The challenge: The challenge will be based around YOU! Time to turn the camera around and take a photo of yourself. You’re children/pets don’t have to be in the photo this week.

First place: I Rock So What
Why I chose this photo: “Ok, so Jess was just telling me how she’s never won any of my photo challenges… I want to let her know that’s not why I chose this photo… I chose it because it’s absolutely beautiful. I love how her hair is moving and just the whole look of the photo.”
