[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

We live in the most photographed generation of all time. I don’t have many photos of my great-grandma, but I remember her. I have more of my grandparents, but not tons on tons on tons, and I remember them. In my family, we make memories and take a few photos—and not the other way around. [/quote]

My parents refuse to stand in photos.  I really can't begin to describe  how sad it makes me.  Perhaps your great grandma and grandparents would have avoided pictures, but you probably don't have pictures for different reasons; it was a luxury or something special back then.  People who avoid pictures are opting out of pictures today for entirely different reasons.[/quote]

I don't mind pictures for family purposes but I hate the sharing of them incessantly. I also don't like that people-family or friends- take pics or videos of people and then post them. Keep them, print them, reminisce but the main reason I think most people hate pictures more is because of social.media.

In the 80s you took a pic and you might see it once or twice and the only people who saw them were family or friends. Now it's just everywhere and always accessible. [/quote]
