The day has come. It’s picture day. I really need to update my professional photo. So, for Improvement Monday, I will be updating my profiles across all the socials. The one I have up is about 10 years old. It was taken after the concert I was in for my percussion class. I’m dressed up in my UVU Concert Choir gear, complete with a necklace that is askew.

It’s time for a more recent photo. When I was setting up my website, I looked for a passable recent photo. I don’t have that many photos of me. Most of the pictures I take are of my kids. When I look through my phone, almost all of the pictures of me are of me laying down making funny faces with my kids. I made a collage for you to enjoy. I was feeling a little self-conscious about it, but then my 6 year old son W said, “Mom, is that your dream board? … Mom, I really love you!” MELT MY HEART!

Before and After Photos
What about before and after pictures? Well I guess I do have a picture of myself and my husband in November 2016, a year after his dad died. This was right at the time my husband had started Keto. I had been trying to lose weight with “exercize more, eat less“. The after picture is from April 2017 after eating Keto-ish for 5 months.


Photo Shoot
So now, it’s time to do a not-so-professional photo shoot (progress not perfetcion) with my sister Rosa Swan at the clicker.
