Darn Good Lemonade
Making Lemonade From My Pair of Lemons, Diagnosed at 30 & Life Beyond Breast Cancer

Baldy McBalderton

It had been suggested to me to take some bald photos, because I will want them later. Which is probably true, I am not exactly going to be able to block out the experience of breast cancer and losing my hair – so I may as well have fun with the good and the bad. So, why not go all out and have the pictures professionally done by the amazing and awesome Jenny Bauman (her website is: http://www.jennykphotography.com/, feel free to “like” her Facebook fan page, because clearly, she is awesome). If you missed my glorious mohawk when we shaved my head you can check it out here, I thought I was bald then, but little did I know how bald I truly would be). Without too much ado, presenting bald Mandi:

Keeping it real in the grasslands of Utah.

Being silly, I think I can fly!

I call this one "urban Mandi"

Walking by the barber shop bald made us giggle, so this was the result.

Sitting on the dock, trying not to fall in!

I look innocent, muahahahahaaa.

If you have some strange desire to OWN your very own bald prints of the one and only bald Mandi, you can http://clients.jennykphotographyanddesign.com/mandihudson” target=”_blank”>order them here.

    You look great! Well done. And, as I have a stash of my own “bald photos”–I agree that you will appreciate this (even more) later on.

      Thanks Teresa. They were a lot of fun to take, and I only plan on being bald once!

    don’t you look freakin’ cute!! Very nice pics and nice round head. I’m glad you got them done, they’re beautiful :)

    love the purple on you btw…

      Lol. I love the round head part of that, because the first thing you worry about before you lose your hair is what shape that head is going to be under all of that hair! I loved your photos, made me less scared to do my own. :)

    Proof positive that you don’t need hair to look beautiful. Your dress is super cute, your skin looks great, and your smile tells the world that you’re a warrior. Love it!

      Thanks! You are too sweet. :)

    I’m so glad you did this photo shoot.  I didn’t get very many good photos of my bald head, and I wish I had.  I had a photography major at BYU ask if she could take some pics for a “survivor” series she was doing.  I had my new fuzz growing in by then.  I still need to connect with her to get a CD of the pics.  Seeing yours makes me want to see mine!  You’ll always be glad you have these!

      You will definitely have to get those pics! My favorite one was your blue mud mask one, that picture is priceless!

  • Mary Farmer

    Wow, they’re great photos! Your photog did a superb job. Now I am thinking about posting a bald photo of my own… haven’t done that yet.
