[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree that nothing should hold you back from getting your photo taken if you want to get your photo taken.

What I wish more people understood is that some people just…don’t like to have their photo taken so much. It’s not necessarily about weight (or all about weight). It’s just we are such a photo-obsessed society, some of us are private, and some of us would rather LIVE IN THE MOMENT than stop every 35 seconds to take pictures, post, etc.[/quote]

You are completely missing the point of OP’s post. She’s not suggesting people should start snapping selfies constantly/photo documenting every event. She’s saying that the moms who don’t like getting their photo taken because they are self conscious about aging/putting on weight and hence are avoiding ever being in the family pictures (and yes this is common) will probably look back one day and regret not having/being a part those memories/keepsakes of different stages of family life.[/quote]

And even if they don’t regret it, their families are missing out on mom being part of those pictures. [/quote]

I dont have any memories of my mom related to photos but I do have them in my own head. Like when I look back at photos with my parents in my elementary and middle school years, I dont really remember the photos- they dont bring up more memories. I remember car rides with my mom, I remember talks with her, I remember her by my side during labor, etc.

I have always hated having my picture taken- its like stand still to capture this moment for everyone else to see, but what if I dont care if anyone else sees because the people that are important are right here. Candids are great but that normally means someone else is out of the experience, documenting it for everyone else.[/quote]
