Please Read If You Don't Like Your Photo Being Taken.

I loved this... Someone sent me the email because I don't like my photo being taken! I'm happy they forwarded it onto me.

For the last 5 years or so I've put a lot of weight on and for that reason I hate the way that I look. I don't like people taking my photo. I have 2 gorgeous kids and there is only a coupe of photo's of me with them. After reading this I have a few more photo's now. I'm considering lap band surgery and have an appt to see a surgeon in 2 weeks. Fingers crossed my surgeon approves me and I can make up for all the photo's I should have taken. It's definitely worth a read.

LOVE THIS!! As a photographer I am rarely on the picture with my kids, time to rearrange that and make sure they have those memories long after I am gone and to pass on my story to their own little ones

Great article! Does make you realize it's about the memories, not vanity.

Your welcome for the read. I'm sorry dee257 for your loss. I hope you and your family are doing ok!

The story definitely makes you want to be in more photo's for your family. For me it's actually making sure I do it.

We actually had family photo's taken a few weeks back which I wasn't overly happy about. I thought if I had 6 months longer I will or hopefully will have the lap band and will look better in the photo's. After reading the story it makes me think well I'm glad that I had them done when I did as i have said what if or i'm going to all my life. I'm not exactly happy with all the photo's but I now think back to the story and i'm ok with it as I'm making memories for my family.
