When I was younger, I was so camera shy because I thought I was fat AND ugly! Very few shots of me were ever taken. Now I look back at those few shots and see how beautiful I really was.
I still do not have the perfect body but I realize photos of me are a gift to others. When I am gone, they will be cherished. Wish I had more.
Get some shots while you can!

I learned this the hard way. My mother died in January and did not like having her picture taken. In putting together pictures for the visitation we had a very hard time finding recent ones. Then in going through pictures I found several pictures of her with friends and family that she had cut herself out of! I was horrified. I am a big girl and don’t think I take a good picture at all, but I don’t hide or run from the camera knowing how much comfort it brings to others. Also I have found that pictures that I thought were terrible, look wonderful 10 years later!

All I can say is THANK YOU to you Teresa and to that smart person who pinned your blog to her Pinterest board, which I just happened to find by chance. Beautifully written, eloquently stated and, well, just spot on!

Great post, Teresa! This is very helpful information! Can’t wait to try it out.

I appreciate that you said leave the camera in Auto mode. I was feeling guilty doing that with family quick pics but I knew in the back of my mind I had a only a couple of takes and my opportunity to get a great shot would be over. No time to risk having a blurry picture because I chose the wrong aperture.

Thanks for the great classes. You’re an awesome instructor!

Thank you so much for this! I have gained weight over the past couple of months and I have been hiding from cameras. So silly – the people that love me will still love me if I am chubby!! As a woman, a stepmom, a business owner, and a wife; I feel so much pressure to fit into a specific mold. Thank you again for putting this into perspective for me.
