I don’t love having my photo taken. But… I tell myself, “hey - in 10 years I’ll look back and think l looked pretty good”.
One posed photo I really cherish is when my good friend / neighbor (and former college roommate) and I were pregnant at the same time. Our husbands encouraged it, even though we were both camera shy in our maternity clothes.
I detest having my photo taken. Besides the five wedding photos I was in, we have exactly one “formal” family photo (me, DH, son). I will not pose voluntarily for group photos without gritting my teeth. Besides our wedding photos, DH’s family has zero photos with me in them. I don’t care if I leave no trace.
I am the same. Hate pics taken of me.
On the other hand, my cousin who passed away at 53 from cancer had so many lovely pictures of herself and her family. The slideshow at her memorial was very beautiful. It made me think that perhaps I should take more pics. Doubt if I will but I thought about it.
My H often jokes there will be no photos of me to display at my funeral:)
Same here!
I feel that 
I hate having my picture taken; I always volunteer to be behind the camera. As DD has gotten into adulthood; I’ve made a concerted effort to take selfies with her at every concert, sporting event or broadway show we attend, so she’ll have the pics with memories to look back on.
For all of you who hate to get your photo taken, please reconsider! I loved my grandmother so much and it makes me very sad I don’t have a single good photo of her when she was older, the way I remember her. She was beautiful to me!
You only need one. 
I don’t have even one. And I think it’s good to have more than one! Photos with me, photos with her daughter, photos at her house, etc.
The Rocky Mountain backdrop never gets old. I snapped some iphone photos today while my husband was pumping gas at Costco.
this one is zoom-in/crop… still does not capture the grandeur of seeing it in person
Gorgeous, Colorado_mom!
Beautiful! I miss cactus. I liked photographing it when I was a kid.
We’re in Shenandoah National Park this weekend. These were taken at 2600 ft elevation and are a couple of the famed lookouts on the southern end of Skyline Drive. Couldn’t take pictures of the densest fog we were in, as I was driving! Total cloud cover, visual range about two car lengths.
That’s what it looked like when DH and I drove it on the way from Texas to Maine. I had been looking forward to showing him this beautiful area, and then we couldn’t see anything!
Some of the worst fog I’ve ever driven in was by the parkway in VA. This was in the middle of the state closer to Staunton. I was driving younger S to his college summer orientation, but he couldn’t leave work until 10pm, so it was around midnight when we passed through. We were on a cut through road and I couldn’t see more than 5 feet in front of me. I was creeping and trying to follow the yellow line, but then it bent a weird way. I actually had to stop the car and get out and walk around and try to figure out where I was and where I was supposed to go. The road I was on was actually the on ramp to the parkway. There were zero other cars out there. It was freaky. I worried about younger S hitting that to/from school, but it never was that bad and he usually traveled during daylight hours.
Wow, that sounds so familiar! And then our car developed mechanical problems and we had to find our way to a garage.
