I have always hated my picture taken ever since I was a child, I am still this way, And I won't smile for my picture either, It will always be a fake smile that you can tell is not genuine, Does any one else have this problem

I can not stand having my picture taken. I try to smile, but my lips end up quivering because it feels like ages for whomever to set up the damn shot! I feel like I always end up looking like a deer caught in headlights. Shocked and stiff! Ha!

I hate having my picture taken, but this has been so only for the past 3 or 4 years. I didn't have any big problems with that before. I don't know what's changed...

I've always hated my picture being taken. I've been with my fiance for 10 years, and the only picture I've taken with him was a year ago at my mom's wedding. I was forced to...

Yep. I have about 2 photo's with my husband from when we first started dating. I have wedding photo's saved to an app & on a dvd. I tore all of our actual wedding photo's up in a tizzy a couple of weeks ago because I was in a hateful mood and didn't want to be with him anymore. Taking wedding photo's was highly uncomfortable. I told the photographer to please stop taking them.

I couldn't stand having my picture taken, it has gotten a little better as I accept my body more. A few years ago I did a boudoir photo shoot for my husband for Valentine's day. It took me forever to get comfortable (and the photographer was a friend) but when I saw the results I was blown away. Best thing I ever did.

I dislike having my picture taken. I'm never prepared. And I am usually the photographer who is taking the pictures.

I typically say I don't like my picture because it looks just like me.

It is so funny looking back on old pictures where I thought I looked horrible at the time, but they look much better as the years pass!

Seriously. Growing up, my mom would sneak pictures of me all the time. Also, my parents used to criticize how over-weight I was. Now looking back...I was freaking cute! I wish I still looked like that!

I've always hated having my photo taken. I have a passion for photography, so I'm usually taking the photos.

I will say, sometimes I crave yo habe more photos of me and my dogs. I have a few that I really do like.
