Them Then, Them Now

I have been a fan of Ms. Elena's photography blog, SelfieMagic for some time. 
She takes unbelievably good self-photos (like crazy good) and makes it look SO easy (which it is certainly not). She also hosts a weekly challenge where she provides a tutorial and then challenges you to attempt it. 
You follow?

This week she challenged readers to recreate old photos of themselves. 
Sounded simple enough. 
First problem, digging through my folk's basement to find said old photos of myself. Maybe not this week. Instead, I chose to use my very favorite subjects, and an extension of myselfmy two eldest. 
They were surprisingly eager to participate. 

The first attempt.
My Isabella. 
Yes, it's the same bear.
And yes, I am weird like that.


Next, Julian takes a turn.
He so enjoyed (has been trying to since we set it up) getting back into "his crib".
Lord help me, I kept that crib sheet from Pottery Barn Kids. Yes indeed.
And his favorite blue bear...a little worse from wear but still intact. 

I couldn't resist just one more of Isabella's.
On the original glider which is now in Little Miss' room (albeit covered up - who chose that print?)
Getting the color the same was next to impossible for this amateur.
I seriously need a lesson in Photoshop. 

Still so much fun.
Happy Saturday!

  6. These are great! I loved all three! It's so cute you had the same toys AND had the same crib sheet! Your kids are adorable!
    It's also amazing to see how your daughter has grown compared to the chair and the toys! This is fun!

  7. Hi! I am visiting from voiceboks. I'm not that great at taking photos either. I have considered taking a photography class to improve my skills, but then I reminded myself that I still have about 15 shoe boxes of pictures that have never been displayed. Definitely a bad idea!

  10. I was going to comment on your most recent post at first but started scrolling through and I just adore this post. Love the re-creations. Your kids are so cute. I almost cried when I saw your son cause I can just see how my son is going to grow so fast right before my eyes. I have a daughter too but my son just seems to be growing faster to me.
