A friend said to me a while ago that she saw pictures on my Facebook profile and that she liked them. She liked them, she said, because they "real," not posed, professional and perfect. (I can't remember her exact wording.) She seemed like she wasn't sure if that was offensive or not and tried to make sure I understood that she thought it was nice.
As I made up and ordered our Christmas cards today, her comment came to mind. The card took me under an hour from turning on my computer to getting a confirmation e-mail and included pictures that were taken spur-of-the-moment. Not a single picture was retouched.
I am definitely
not perfectly professional and I'm okay with that.
