mermaiden at 09:55am on 11/04/2011 under i'm an author!, novel: the dark wife, novels, pictures, writingSo, since it's a month and a week until my VERY FIRST NOVEL'S LAUNCH (Oh muh GODS, SPARKLES FOR EVERYONE), my awesome and incredibly talented sister, Laura, who does everything from video creation to photography, did a photo shoot for my author photo on Saturday.
Normally, I have rockin' self esteem, but it's kind of been through the floor these past few months (have no clue why--I'm working on it. :)). I was nervous about the photo shoot--would any of the photos even look PASSABLE? I've wanted to be published since I was a little kid, and fantasized about my author photo forever, and NOW we were DOING ONE when I was feeling NOT SO GREAT about myself? Sheeshers, my poor sister. :P She took a mopey girl, put some effin' fabulous makeup on her, and--together with this AWESOME, VINTAGE TYPE DRESS that I'm wearing to our book release party--I ACTUALLY GOT A PHOTO I LOVE OMG.
And here it is, ladies and gentlefolk!
It was a major toss up between the above one and this one--but the above one can be shrunk down and still retain its character. I love the below one because I think it shows more of my personality, but hey--I can use it for other things than on the back of a book. :)
This one is bosomy (APPARENTLY, IT'S A WORD NOW) and shows my tattoo off AWESOMELY.
OMG, I WROTE A BOOK AND IT'S COMING OUT AND PEOPLE ARE GOING TO READ IT OMG.
I think this picture makes me look like Stephenie Meyer and is WAY THE HELL TOO SERIOUS and shows none of my personality, but it has a Glamourkin (one of my favorites) in it, and so I shares here. The red thing just wasn't working because of all the brown behind it, so we changed outfits. :D
And then, because she's awesome, kitty took some pictures of Jenn and I together~
I'd said something ridiculous--or my sister did. Either way. XD
<3
I love my wife~ <3
CAN YOU SPOT THE ORCA?
