I get told all the time ... "I just hate photos of myself". I think most everyone is a little shy in front of the camera. I will try to make this fun and help you be at ease.
The best shots are the ones that are not posed! Happening naturally.
I basically feel like we are not just "taking pictures". We are documenting our history through photographs.
These photos are for our children, grandchildren and their children. They will look back and "remember when" . So, these photos are not just for you .... they are for the future.
