ADULTS! Get in the pictures!

I hate being in front of the camera. I am aphotogenic and it is embarassing. I always smile big and squinch my face so that I am all teeth and no eyes. I know from experience that I am not the only adult who hates getting her picture taken. I say this but I look back at all of our family photos and I am just not there. I am missing. My mother is the same way - she is always behind the camera. You forget how to be comfortable after a while of being on the other side.
Here is a challenge for anyone who cares to join me. GET IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA. Ask people to take pictures of you too. Plan a shoot with a friend if you have to have perfect hair and clothes. Practice your smiles and face angles (cheesey but it does help). Don't be too fussy on the results. Movie stars are retouched before and after the shoot - don't expect to look like them.
If you don't want to do it for yourself then do it for your children/future children and everyone else who is close to you. They want pictures of you too.
