I definitely am not. I've been told many times that I look better in person (a complisult).
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.
Are you photogenic? Is your lo?

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.

Lol, a complisult:)
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.
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:)

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.

I photograph much better than I am 
no LO yet, so can't comment on that one, but I sure hope they are!

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.)

I hate pictures because I always look fugly... Dh and lo on the other hand almost always look great!

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!

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.

@Mrs. Bee: I think you are very photogenic! You look gorgeous in person, too, not "better". So that is not an insult ok?
I am ok ...

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.

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.

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

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

I am most of the time. My smile can get a little awkward and gummy though.

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.
My mom always tells me that LO looks prettier in person. I hate that!

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!!

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!

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.

I'm photogenic, my theory is "hey there's a camera, why not smile?" My LO is as well!

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.

@jholler25: oh my gosh! wanna see the tebow US!
I'm told I am, but I'm too self-critical. 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!
Too many times of looking back on cranky pre-teen and teen pictures with a scowl made me stop trying to avoid photos. LOL.
