| Is this now a thing?? Like family photos but boyfriend-girlfriend? |
| What? Staged as in fake? Or do you mean formal portraits taken of a 14 year old couple? |
Yes, the latter - like staged, posed, professionally shot for no real reason but posted to social media!! |
| Haven’t seen this - girl mom of 9th grader active on social media. |
| Haven't seen this at all. I've seen a couple staged ones taken by friends at farm festivals that mock prom poses and the like, but they aren't professional. |
| That’s so weird, because they cannot be “a couple” -they aren’t independent or supporting themselves or each other |
|
so, like a fake engagement shoot, or just really, really, really staged "candids?"
you know a lot of people will take 37 selfies before they get the perfect "one." I can imagine young, social-media obsessed - to no fault of their own - thinking that this is how couples take photos as well. |
| This doesn't surprise me. This is where we are in our photo/appearance/sm obsessed society. |
| None of you had those 90s/early 00s HS photos of you and your BF or with a bunch of your friends that you took at a studio in the mall? Wow! |
| Isn't just about everything teens do today staged and for social media? |
| Terminally online forum posters in dead marriages bitterly envious of children enjoying younng lovem. Sad |
Or on school picture day. But somehow I doubt this is what OP is talking about. |
Young people who are really in love don’t require constant validation from selfies and social media. They should be lost in each other’s eyes, not their phone screens. |
| Main character syndrome. |
| Seems like a great way to waste several hundred bucks and have to delete a lot of photos from your feed later. |
