do you re-use photos?

I do! Especially if a layout I am creating is mostly story-based but I don't want to do a photoless layout, I will choose a random, cute headshot of the kiddo that the story is about just to fill that space.

Also, there are only like 3 pictures of me in existance, so anytime I do an AAM page, I tend to reuse those photos, *IF* I include a photo at all!

Here is where I'll admit that my avatar is from 2008 because that is the last decent picture of me.

With two boys that don't want to sit for the camera, or more likely run from the room when the camera comes out, if I can get a good picture of them, I will definitely re-use. As for myself, my avatar is from when I first started scrapping back in 2005 (ha). Frankly, when I'm scrapping layouts about myself I'm usually taking pictures of favorites or finding images on the web.

I do too. Not to often though

I don't anymore, only because I feel like when I can find the time to scrap I should be using new photos. Otherwise I feel like it's a waste of my time. Some photos I will repeat if I have more story to tell about it. I used to repeat photos all the time when I was on a DT (CT) because sometimes I didn't have enough quality photos for all the LO's required each month. Also, with paper scrapping I had to repeat the photo if I wanted one page for each kid's album. Now I can just print 2!

yep. I do. Because my dd doesn't much like to cooperate for photos. Plus...even though I may use the same photo, it's usually for a different concept or theme, so I don't feel as though I'm wasting my time.

I do too - especially ones from pre-digital days . . there just werent as many photos back then, and I re-use them as I feel like it . . I've also re-done layouts so I then end up with more than one page about a particular photo/story
