I too have a tendency to hide from family photos. Now that I have a sweet baby granddaughter I'm going to be SURE to take a lot of pictures of my daughter (and son-in-law) with her! I might even pose for a few myself. :) Happy moments need to be preserved!Nannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9145471442079731509.post-34682401681124795002012-10-15T00:09:03.113-05:002012-10-15T00:09:03.113-05:00You are all beautiful.You are all beautiful.Kay Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05662516476515721694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9145471442079731509.post-19633264428414495412012-10-14T23:28:37.112-05:002012-10-14T23:28:37.112-05:00I read that same article in the last week or two, ...I read that same article in the last week or two, and felt the same way! I had noticed that (although I don't have kids or a family) that I had dodged the camera the last few years and there really was no record of my life in my 20's! That's silly! I won't always look this way , and while it's not my favorite, it's still me. <br /><br />I also had a similar conversation with my mom, she would turn her head or eyes away during pictures because she's sensitive of an eye issue she has, which she feels is pronounced when she looks dead on at someone- or at a camera. I told her, MOM, someday when you are gone, I want to remember what you looked like. When I look at these pictures of you, I don't see YOU, this doesn't look like you- turning away, looking down- that's not my mom. I want a picture of MY MOM. Look at the camera!<br /><br />Ever since, she has made a NOTICED effort of looking at the camera. This is who you are. You are a woman with an eye issue, but that's how *I* know you, I don't care, and I want to remember you how you were!!!Emily Heizer Photographyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13483149630816603197noreply@blogger.com
