I notice the piece of hair that's out of place, one eye closes more than the others, one tooth is crooked after 5 years of braces, etc. I do smile whenever I see a camera, though! </p> <p>Too many times of looking back on cranky pre-teen and teen pictures with a scowl made me stop trying to avoid photos. LOL. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-photogenic#post-170862 Mon, 28 May 2012 08:11:04 +0000 mrsjyw 170862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: I've yet to see a bad pic of the girls!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-photogenic#post-170861 Mon, 28 May 2012 08:10:30 +0000 mrsjyw 170861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wasn't before college, I think I am for the most part now ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-photogenic#post-170651 Sun, 27 May 2012 18:15:21 +0000 BSB 170651@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sometimes but it's rare. I don't wear makeup so I always look washed out. I should wear makeup more often but I don't. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-photogenic#post-170633 Sun, 27 May 2012 17:18:40 +0000 Mrs. Cat in the Cradle 170633@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. I do not make a good subject ... too awkward. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-photogenic#post-170615 Sun, 27 May 2012 17:00:42 +0000 lavender 170615@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm photogenic, my theory is "hey there's a camera, why not smile?" My LO is as well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-photogenic#post-170552 Sun, 27 May 2012 14:27:03 +0000 SugarplumsMom 170552@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm photogenic and pictures lie! Haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-photogenic#post-170516 Sun, 27 May 2012 13:21:58 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 170516@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My face is photogenic but my body is not. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-photogenic#post-170466 Sun, 27 May 2012 11:26:28 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 170466@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm told I make too many" transitional" faces to be photogenic... but luckily the girls are and that's all that matters. It's hard to take a bad picture of them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-photogenic#post-170461 Sun, 27 May 2012 11:13:00 +0000 stargal 170461@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>nope, i look weird in some pics, not flattering! LO isnt here yet but in all his ultrasound pics, he looks pretty photogenic, he must get that from the hubs! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-photogenic#post-170455 Sun, 27 May 2012 11:08:59 +0000 Sammyfab 170455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am notorious for blinking during photos...it's awful! And so far my LO isn't the most photogenic. My sisters say the photos I take of him are really unflattering and add several pounds!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-photogenic#post-170375 Sun, 27 May 2012 09:00:48 +0000 heffalump 170375@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. I had braces for a long time so I didn't like to smile and I would do this weird drunk eye thing. Now, after LO, I have two chins. </p> <p>My mom always tells me that LO looks prettier in person. I hate that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-photogenic#post-170374 Sun, 27 May 2012 09:00:38 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 170374@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am most of the time. My smile can get a little awkward and gummy though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-photogenic#post-170357 Sun, 27 May 2012 08:31:09 +0000 rawrasaur 170357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am not, I think I look way better in the mirror than in a photo. I hope our kids are because I will be taking a ton of photos of them :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-photogenic#post-170353 Sun, 27 May 2012 08:14:58 +0000 chopsuey 170353@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not photogenic at all. Out of 20 pics, 1 will look good. The camera loves my Lo when it catches her at the right angle :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-photogenic#post-170338 Sun, 27 May 2012 07:25:07 +0000 SleepyMonkey 170338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i think i'm neutral. i look the way i do in real life. over the years though, i've learned how to look better in pictures....involves a slight angle down with the chin (should not be noticeable) and don't face the camera straight on..so a little angle off to the side, chin down, eyes to the camera. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-photogenic#post-170334 Sun, 27 May 2012 07:04:21 +0000 oliviaoblivia 170334@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH is super photogenic in candid shots, but freezes up in posed photos. I'm generally pretty photogenic, but will take a really bad one here and there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-photogenic#post-170306 Sun, 27 May 2012 05:07:12 +0000 Andrea 170306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: I think you are very photogenic! You look gorgeous in person, too, not "better". So that is not an insult ok? :-)</p> <p>I am ok ... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-photogenic#post-170302 Sun, 27 May 2012 04:59:29 +0000 mediagirl 170302@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Eh, I've never thought I was very photogenic. I do think a good photographer, some make-up and a flattering outfit make all the difference, though. I think my husband is photogenic but he hates having his picture taken. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-photogenic#post-170269 Sun, 27 May 2012 00:31:01 +0000 Meridian 170269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was when I was skinnier :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-photogenic#post-170260 Sun, 27 May 2012 00:07:50 +0000 HLK208 170260@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. People will tell me I am and I don't know how to take that... I'd rather be good looking in person than know how to pose for a photo! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-photogenic#post-170257 Sun, 27 May 2012 00:05:17 +0000 cyndistar3 170257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hate pictures because I always look fugly... Dh and lo on the other hand almost always look great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-photogenic#post-170254 Sun, 27 May 2012 00:02:09 +0000 cyneswith 170254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Used to be kind of OK. Over the past few years, no. I got really sick a few years back, stayed sick for over three years, and am really just starting to reach normalcy again (I finally devoured a book in a day for the first time in 3-4 years.) My face still looks a bit leathery, the skin under my eyes is still loose and dark all the time, haven't lost the weight I gained (I couldn't exercise), and my facial muscles are still a little lopsided (it's really mild, but my eyes don't look matched anymore.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-photogenic#post-170240 Sat, 26 May 2012 23:49:47 +0000 mrs. bird 170240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I photograph much better than I am ;) no LO yet, so can't comment on that one, but I sure hope they are! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-photogenic#post-170236 Sat, 26 May 2012 23:46:39 +0000 Mrs. Superhero 170236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>if you take enough photos... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-photogenic#post-170227 Sat, 26 May 2012 23:39:41 +0000 singingbee 170227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have been told that I am. The joke in my family is that I'm always ready for a photo. I see a camera and my smile is on. Of course, I'm the dork that goes to get her driver's license and I sit behind the camera ready and smiling so I'm good to go when the camera flashes. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-photogenic#post-170215 Sat, 26 May 2012 23:24:02 +0000 PrincessBaby 170215@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lol, a complisult:)</p> <p>My nose, which I swear is not big IRL, always looks big to me in photos. In general, I look like a goofball in all photos. Just a clumsy look, can't explain it.</p> <p>Oh and the one in my belly is pretty photogenic - we always get funny shots of him (what I think it is!) and the last u/s he Tebowed for us:) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-photogenic#post-170211 Sat, 26 May 2012 23:16:38 +0000 BoogieBea 170211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not at all. I look really awkward in pictures, which is why I like to be behind the camera. Both my kids are photogenic though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-photogenic#post-170207 Sat, 26 May 2012 23:06:53 +0000 Mrs. Bee 170207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I definitely am not. I've been told many times that I look better in person (a complisult).</p> <p>But I think Charlie is photogenic, and Olive will be too once she has a little more hair. They are both happy kids that smile a lot.</p> <p>Are you photogenic? Is your lo? </p>
