I am at my sister's house, and she just took a picture of me that I am including in this discussion. Casual or otherwise, when is the last time you had your picture taken? Do you hate having it taken? I don't really like it myself.

It was last month that I took my latest photo and I was shocked to see that I have really gained weight over the past few months. People often told me that I gained weight but I didnt believe them until I saw the picture of me last month. I hope next time I would take a photo of me, I would already lose weight.

That is one thing I always find bitter sweet about getting your photos taken! It's bitter if you notice you have gained weight, but sweet if you notice you have lost weight!

i guess mine was last tuesday coz i need a picture id as one of the requirements for my loan and other government documents that i need for my maternity benefits. i even tried to get a student drivers license earlier coz they nee 3 kinds of valid ID but turned out that they only need one i guess they must change wrong info in the government website since its in there, i just wasted my money for the license besides im ot going to use it coz i dont have car to drive.

Dylan and GiGi - GiGi is their name for Great-Grandmother
The last picture I had taken was just before Christmas with my middle great-grandson. I am not too happy having my photo taken now that I am old! Photo: Me and Dylan

I hate my face when I saw the picture taken by someone. I hate my face , I look awful. all of the pictures I have taken by my friends are all awful. I have to create a nice smile, like the smile of some of commercial models. I hate my teeth. I love my picture when the picture is formal. That way I do look good and I have to look good, but on the occasion that someone will just take a picture, i already know that I look awful there. The last time I was taken a picture was last year, our company's Christmas Party.

I had mine taken not too long ago. I'm pregnant so I've been taking monthly pictures to watch my progess. I don't really mind having my picture taken. My sister and I usually goof off for the camera anyway. haha I'm going to have maternity pictures made in May and I'm kinda dreading that. I haven't had to sit for professional pictures since my wedding.

Well it might have been taken today, but I am not really sire since about 4 cameras were going off at once blinding everyone. It was my 7 year old autistic nephews birthday party today and so everyone was taking photos. I don't really like my photo taken at all..unless I have lost weight and dolled up..but a picture that I know for sure was taken was two months ago that my little sister took of me sitting at the computer. With my hair still wet from my shower.I checked your picture out and it is a very nice photo and you are a very pretty woman.

Hi Ambie Pam. I have always avoided a camera - being in front of one, that is. You are beautiful and so much younger than I imagined. I went to your profile to check and you look MUCH younger than your age. I suppose your avatar makes you seem older.

over Christmas, we always get together and have a picture taken as a group - I might like it better if I lost more weight!

I hate having my picture taken. The last time I had my picture taken was last July, when my teen-aged daughter and I were at the county fair. We had such a great time, and I wanted a picture of us to remember the happiness and silliness we shared that day.

I had my picture taken in a family portrait shortly before this past Christmas. I don't really like having my picture taken either. I don't feel that I am very photogenic.

To be honest i don't even rememember, it's been quite awhile.I have never liked to have my picture made. Never could figure out why they expected me to smile just because they had a silly camera in their hands, lol.

I'm the picture taker in our family, so thankfully I'm almost never in any of them. If I looked like you, I'd probably buy some one a camera so that I'd be in more of them. Great shot!

This past Christmas I think . I have always hated having my picture took. Even when I was a child. I think because of having a weight problem.I have always been camera shy.

Hiya Amber. The last time I had my picture taken was back in November of last year. It was just some casual ones of my youngest and I when we had gone to the mall together. Believe it or not, I hate having my picture taken. So I don't get my picture taken very often. LOL Oh, and before I forget, that's a great picture of you. You should use it as your avatar! Happy mylotting!

Last, hummmm, well it must of been at the festival last fall. My grnd daughter got ahold of my camera and took a pic of us together. I like you don't like having my pic taken. I don't do good in pictures. Never did, I hated school pictures, you never know when some one is going to snap your pic now adays as everyone has a camera either in their reach or on their phone. I tell them nope don't do it.

Hello Ambiepam. It is a well-taken photo of yours. I had mine taken just a week ago when we were having our festival with my family. I love to take photos for the others and love my photo taken as well. It can always leave us with wonderful memories. Take care.

I am the one usually with the camera in the hand taking pictures, but from time to time I will have my picture snapped. I am not very photographic and not only do I know this first hand, but I have a Photographer friend who will tell you the same thing that I am not photogenic. Now that I have just used the word two different ways, I'm having a brain freeze and can't think which word is the correct word to use.
