No. Seriously, chill. What if your SIL is really pretty in just that photo and she wants that one? Seriously, relax, nobody cares.

I'd ignore that request.

Can you ask the photographer to edit you out? Was it one in a group of several? I would probably just forget to order that one. Weird that she wants a picture when you're the one front and center.

Agree with this. I bet the in-law likes it because OP actually looks relaxed and happy and pretty and not self- conscious and overly posed like normal.

No you cannot.
Everyone is picking the photos they like, so give In-law the photo she wants.

Don't cause needless drama.

I wouldn't order a picture I hated of me. Totally fine to decline. Ask the photographer to delete it.

No, you shouldn't decline. If you want to say something, do so in a light way: "Oh, Barbara, I can't believe you're getting that one with my goofy smile front and center."

Of course not and I'm sure you are just being hard on yourself.

Of course you can't. How silly.

I arranged a portrait session for our extended family, and paid for the sitting. Everyone is paying for their own prints, but ordering through me. There is one particularly unflattering photo of me that an in-law has requested as one of her favorites. She's serious, not poking fun. I'm the only person fully in the photo (it's a candid) and I'm front and center; this in-law's adult child is partially visible from the back. Can I decline to order it?
