Wow, what a topic.

I hate my pictures. I see them and think 'Gawd!! Is that what I look like??' so I really quit looking at them. Oh, I take them because some day I want my family to know I was here. But,geez.

I also have those dark circles. I actually prefer how I look in glasses because {I think} they help to hide them.

I agree, don't smile way too big. I try not to be laughing 'cause what a goofy look that brings on.

Posture, great idea. Suck in the gut {if you have one...}

When we did photos at the company Christmas party, yep, the photographer had us do the 'turtle-ing' as well as having me do the 'bug eye' thing. I took that rather personally, as my eyes are old and small. But I did get over it. {or, since I am mentioning, did I?}

I also agree with taking pictures to help the confidence level. My son was feeling a bit awkward. I took him in, alone, not the trio, and had them take his photo. He was bashful at first and a bit embarressed but in the end he warmed up and had some great shots.

I was actually thinking of having them go finish off a roll of film with some candid shots....

And, Not Afraid, the product is called 'Benefit'? I need help.

And gawd, I am afraid but damn curious if I posted my picture how old you guys would think I am {I don't have my birthdate up anymore....}. The hubster always gets his guessed as way younger than he is....And, I wondered recently, if this is why some women don't like to introduce their older daughters? Giving away their age???
