I have a cousin who always ducks and dodges out of pictures.  I worry that some day after our generation is gone that her children will miss having any pictures of her.  I have a grandmother who felt the same way about her pictures, and I have so precious few of her now.

I can feel my cousin’s pain, though.  I went through this when I was in my thirties.  I just hated pictures of me.  Now I look back on them and wonder why all the anguish?  They just weren’t that bad.

I recently ran across a Blog named Peanut Blossom with a post entitled How to Look Awesome in Vacation Photos.  Tiffany’s advice for us ladies was right on the money.  She explains how to stand or sit and what angle to ask for when having our pictures made.

So ladies, let’s just suck it up and get into those family pictures.  Our grandchildren will thank us someday.

Me, my girls and two of the grandchildren
