Pictures of you.
How often do you get new pictures of yourself?

Whenever I have to for a kit or template and I don't want to use one of me for the 4th or more time. I almost never feel picture ready.

Well, I probably take a selfie once a week or so, but with family, it's more like KCB, a few times a year. Need to work on that!

I take selfies once a week or so and try and get in selfie-ish photos with the boys too. Proper photos that I didn't take of me, not as often

Not enough. But When I'm out with others, I'll been shameless and ask someone to take my photo. If I'm taking anywhere from 50-300 photos, I want to make sure that there are at least few pics of me in there! Do they come out good to share with others? That's whole another story! LOL

Yeah this would be me too.

Selfies? No, I never got into that. They make me think of my 13-yo daughter and her friends and I'm too old for that silliness
I always try to get a picture of me with Cheyanne every Christmas and every summer and we always one of us together in the fall when we meet up with the same friends for fall festivities. I try to get one with me and my grandkids at least twice a year too. ETA: Let me clarify the selfie thing - I don't think people who do them are silly - they just remind me of the silly ones the teen crowd takes and I'm too old for those silly shots. I didn't mean to sound condescending! LOL Maybe I should try a normal selfie once in a while... maybe. Last edited by mariewilcox; 11-08-2013 at 01:56 PM. |

Not enough. I do selfies from time to time, but I need to be better about handing the camera off to others and getting in the pictures with my kids and family more often.

I hardly take pictures of me. I just do not like myself in pictures. I guess I'm too critical of myself.

I take selfies once or twice a month, and those often end up being the only photos of me that are halfway decent. I'm willing to let people photograph me, but no one I hand my camera off to can manage to take a photo that's both in focus and at a flattering angle. The one thing that I wish my camera had is a remote. There isn't one available for it and the self-timer is awkward and takes too long, so almost all the photos I have with my kids are bad ones.

All the time. Every time we travel, which is frequent, and whenever we're out and about. I'm old, fat, saggy boobs and all and I don't care. They're my memories and I want to be part of them.

Not often enough. I take selfies now and then, but not too often. I won't take one unless I feel like I look okay that day. :/

I am guilty of being the one always behind the camera. Though this year I have taken more selfies with phone and with DSLR/remote than I ever have before. I had an epiphany similar to yours when looking through some scrapbooks. If someone glanced through the album they would have a hard time proving that I was even a part of a lot of major events. I have also been a little less controlling and will hand off the camera and ask people around me to include me in the shot. That being said... my husband cannot take a photo of me where my mouth is not open or my eyes are not closed. Like for real... we joked about me scrapbooking about his bad photo taking skills. :P
PS - love your new avi Trish!

I am always the one taking the pics. After I had my youngest (my kids are 10 months apart...16 months and 26 months) I avoided pics at all times. Since I lost 80 pounds I am proud to get in front of the camera again! Sometimes I will get a good one of myself holding one of my babies. Those are the best ones! I mostly scrap just for my babies. I have tons of pics of them with their Dad and I'd like to be in some of their books.

I used to always take pics of me with the kids, but since I got this new fancy camera, I don't do it very much. For one I can't take it while holding the camera, and second it's all blurry if I do the timer. It's kind of a bummer.

speaking of selfies - for those of you who like to get pubbed here is a call for Life Paper Scrapbook for their Jan 2014 issue - Selfies - - We all spend a lot of time scraping memories of people we love but do you ever take the time to make a page about yourself. http://www.lifepaperscrapbook.com/p/submissions.html

I've only recently started asking other people to take the camera for a while so I have some proof I was there too. I am always the one taking pictures and I don't mind doing so but I do want to be in a few pics as well. My five-year-old is turning out to be quite a shutterbug, but although she's improved a lot since she was 2, she's still not turning out a lot of quality shots so I try to get my husband or SIL or a friend to do some too. I used to worry about not looking "good enough" but I'd rather have bad pics of me than no pics of me. My kids need SOMETHING of me to look back on!

I only like selfies where I am in full control & can angle myself into very odd poses, making me look as thin as possible while maximizing my cleavage at the same time

I think I do this at least once a month. It usually happens when I remember to do it and happen to have makeup on or my hair's behaving itself. |

My girls and I take a selfie every Sunday. We set up the tripod (and keep it in the garage) the put the camera a timer. We've taken a photo every Sunday for nearaly 13 months!!

At least once a month as part of my 365 Project and then randomly throughout the year DH or my oldest will take the camera so I am in shots of whatever activity it is we are doing.

Compared to others, I don't take much selfies. But thanks to iMoodJournal app, I take selfies at least 3 times a week to track my moods.

Lately I've been taking one of myself every week. I noticed that I was very rarely in any pictures with the kids and there was next to none of myself alone. But now I try to include at lease one picture of myself in every Project Life layout.

My goal this year was to make sure that one parent was in each PL spread this year, but it's slacked off a bit over the last 6-8 weeks. I am doing Nettio's monthly fav-oite's layouts so there's at least one a month. It's not my favorite thing to do - taking pics of myself - but I'm determined to make sure the adults are included in my scrapbooks.
