Self portraits are not a new thing.
But when you try to represent yourself…it can be a little scary. A little daunting.
There is a risk when you peel back the layers and think about what image to pick to symbolize yourself. Deciding between a figurative approach or a literal approach. Deciding whether to go big picture or the immediate present day you.
So this week, we are bringing you not just one self portrait, but several….
Chrissy…
Missy…
Robin…
Kir…
Stephanie…
Elena…
And Angela…
What about you? What does your self portrait say about you?
To celebrate Just.Be.Enough.’s one year anniversary, this extra reflective Be Enough Me will last ALL week. Take some time. Look through your photo albums (or um, the camera roll on your phone). Get creative. Then join us as we peel back the layers that protect us.

I love all the photos and your words about yourselves. So awesome! I just snapped a photo and have to write up a post. You guys have the best ideas!

What a cool idea! Love the photos and the insights that go with them. I’ll definitely plan to link up a little later this week, as I actually snapped a self-portrait over the weekend that caused me to view myself in a different light.
And happy 1st birthday to JBE! I’m celebrating my 2nd blogoversary today, too.
