Family Picture  

I haven't had one taken... we keep talking about getting one taken but never have done it. I had a picture done about 6 years ago with my adopted mom at Walmart.. they were reasonable.

hi Ambie, like you I absolutely hate it to have pictures taken of myself.
My parents divorced when I was not quite 2 and I grew up with my Mom in Custody. From the maternal side of family I had a grandmother, two aunts, an uncle and two older cousins.
So family pics were taken Christmas and on birthdays and I always tried to sneak out so I dont appear on said pics.

The last time I had photos taken was our wedding in 2005. I didnt really want pics but felt I had to and was even relieved because our Marriage Witness messed up with his digital camera and we only have one pic which is good enough to show and which we also used for our ThankYou letters.

that's really nice to hear! atleast you know and all of us know here in myLot that your dad had a very special birthday with his family.

the last time we had a family picture was last year. just before i flew here in Sweden. i always have it in my phone and in my computer. i look at it all the time.

That's a nice gift to give your father for his birthday. It's not been ten years since I've had a professional picture done with my daughters but it probably has been about three or four. I do have a good friend that is a professional photographer and he did take a few pics with me and my grand daughter when she was born. I like my digital camera because I'm always snapping pictures of her. Pictures are nice because they hold lots of memories for us.

It's been years since I have gotten to take my picture with my children, about four years when my son got married. But they all got together a year ago though and got theirs done together with all their kids and gave it to me for Christmas.....I cried for 15 minutes as I didn't know they were doing it.

The last professionally posed photo I had taken was for a four generation portrait which turned out to be a really nice picture but as I am estranged from my family it is now in a closet replaced by a photo of my trustworthy 3 dogs!

My husband, mom, and I had our picture taken a couple of years ago for the church directory. We bought a couple of pictures too. They weren't all that great. The photographer must not have been very good. I look fat in it, lol.

I have never done a family picture ever. Now my kids have theres done every year for school. I have a nice camera and take many of my own pictures so dont really need to have professionals do them its just to much money. As for myself I did some modeling so I have many professional photos of myself once even my hubby asked the photographer to take our pic together as a gift for me (he hates his photo taken).

It was my mother, really, that had us all taking our pictures.
There's one family portrait that's practically a standard in our family.
Everybody in there, including mom, who passsed away before anybody else.
Every year we bring it out and marvel at how we looked and what we were doing and what happened after and so forth.
Family pictures are good things to have since they bring back so many memories.
Years from now you'd be glad you made them.

I refuse to have my picture anymore as I view myself as very much less than photogenic, and well the last time I had my picture taken was when my 2nd child was still a baby, and needless to say that was about 13-14 years ago,

I have since quit being in pictures and found myself a very comfortable spot behind the camera doing hte picture taking.
