Help Me Pick A Pic




So... Kendall's Nursery is going to be featured in an e-mag called Southern Mommas and they needed a high resolution pic of me.  Now, I have lots of pics of my little family and me, but none of myself really.  


My 'go to girl' for photography, Amber Beckham, took a couple for me (she rocks!)...I've narrowed it down to these two, can you help me?  Which one do you think should accompany the article? 


(I can't believe I have my big 'ol mug shacked up on my blog post today- forgive me for this, pretty please...)

    You are gorgeous my dear! Both are beautiful photos....tough to choose one. Either way you can't go wrong. #1 is a stunning closeup photo and #2 is a beauty, too...your fun loving, bubbly personality shows through. I like the green shutter and the greenery behind you as well. That dress is lovely on you with your coloring, beautiful eyes and hair. A big congrats to you on your feature!
