Between our recent "Love Your Selfie" series and Manhattan's No. 2 spot on TIME's ranking of the "selfiest cities in the world," it's safe to say that Studio 1A supports the growing self-photo culture. 

Leading the pack with the most selfie photos on our TODAY team is the selfie queen herself, Hoda Kotb! 

Hoda's first selfie hit the Twittersphere nearly two years ago when she took her niece Hannah to Central Park.

Her instructions for taking a selfie are simple: Think of someone you love, and smile with your mouth open. 

The TODAY plaza has been instrumental in the growth of Hoda's selfie collection.

Even when she goes to events where she's not invited! 

But days in Studio 1A always provide an excuse to grab a photo. 

Her selfie love is even rubbing off on Bambino, KLG's little dog!
