LPT: Let yourself be photographed at special events, family gatherings and by friends in general, even if you don't like your picture taken for any reason.
My mother passed two years ago. She hated her picture taken and would start arguments and fights over it. I have only about 5 or 6 pictures of her, four of them I either had to sneak or conned her into taking, a faded photo of her and my father from the 1970's and lastly a yearbook photo. I had to use the yearbook photo for her obituary. The other ones had her looking grumpy.
My point is that when you are gone, people are going to miss you and they won't have any photographs to console them or to remember the good times they shared with you. Your friends and family love you and even if you don't like the way you look, they do. Let them photograph you by yourself and with others.
