Photos of you as a kid

[TrickyBob]

Are there a lot? 

All the albums at my Mom's house are chalk full of photos of my oldest brother. There are a decent amount of my middle brother as well. 

1989 was the year my Dad bought a camcorder and it was the year I was born. Unless some other family member took a photo, there are pretty much zero photos of me as a baby and a kid. It's all on tape, from my birth to my 16th birthday. 

Once he got the camcorder, they really didn't take photos any longer. Every birthday is on video of all 3 of us, all Holidays, all special moments. 


I was thinking about how kids today are going to have oodles of photos of themselves. And much better quality.

We have a lot of family albums. This is one thing I wonder about - there are a million pics of today's kids, but are there photo albums usually being made? I almost never develop pictures anymore, because I can look at them on my computer/put them on FB, etc. I have no idea if I will print off more once I have kids.

[RoxMonster]

Yes, all the photo albums are at my parents' house. I don't have any pictures of me here at our house pre-digital camera age.

My MIL still scrapbooks even to this day. She will ask us for pics from vacations and other big events and put together a scrapbook of them, which I think is nice, though I would never have the patience to do it myself. It does make me a little sad that physical photo albums are kind of dying out.

There's a good amount, mostly after the age of 6 or so. There are some videos too.

There are 5 million photos of my kids and, like, 3 crappy cell phone videos of each kid as an infant. Lol

[wildfloweragain]

I have some pics. I just scanned some this summer because I'm changing my "person of the week" thing I do in my class to a power point instead of physical photos.

I realized I don't have many teenage pics. Or even tweenage. It leaps from just about the 1st day of kindergarten, to prom.

I have some of me as a kid. Not many really.

My kid has so many it's getting ridiculous. And she's only 1.
I make photo books on Mixbook. I love them - so much less bulky and I feel like the pictures are less delicate.

I'm actually going to scan in and transfer a bunch of old photos from albums and make photo books of those too.

There are some, but many more of my two older sibs. Life just gets in the way and you're over it by number 3 evidently.

I like those albums you can make online and have printed. But considering I never ordered our (paid for) wedding album I'm not sure if I would bother.

All of our albums are of my brother. A lot of the film didn't make back from England.

[circa1978]

So many. I was an adorable child. Not so many as a teenager. I had a habit of wearing my hair over half my face,

[verycontrary247]

By myself? Almost none.

I was the 4th child. Most of my childhood pictures are group shots with my siblings.

[snickers]

There are a good amount, that's for sure. I love looking through old photo albums from when I was a kid, photo albums seem to be a thing of the past though. I hope I remember to print pictures and put them in albums too

[zoidberg]

Very few. There are a ton of my sister, because she was the first, and a ton of my brother because my parents had more money by then and were able to have a nice camera (and of course, this was way back when film was expensive to develop). Nobody cares about the middle child. :*(

[sineadorebellion]

There are very few baby photos of me floating around. The only pic of me that my parents have displayed in their home is a 5x7 of my high school graduation.

As a result, I have hundreds of pictures of the girls. A ton on my phone, a bunch of school/group photos, and a handful of more professional birthday ones. It's really important to me to have these.

[Deleted]

Not anymore

My mom's house burned down 4 years ago and she lost every picture. My grandma has a few pictures of me though.

[mandy0810]

There are a ton of pictures of me and of my bother too. My dad loves taking pictures so we have we a lot of pictures. There are tons of my girls too because the picture crazy followed me lol. I love pictures.

[adhdfashion]

Loads, I am the first born and Dad did photography as a side job.

[bania]

Lots of photos but only 1 or 2 videos. I wish we had more family videos. Those are so fun to watch.

[lilybug]

A shitton; I'm the oldest. There are about half as many of my little sister, lol. I'm trying to be more fair with my two.

[polka]

Yes, there are a lot of photos. I think there are only a couple videos taken by my aunt.

[jinkies]

True story: when I was 8 or 9, I threw a huge fit that there were no pictures of just me as baby, and there were several albums of my brother. There was also a full baby book on my brother, while my baby book had my name and birthday, and the rest was blank. My mom put out an APB to family members and scrounged up every photo she could find so that she could make a baby album for me.

I swore not to do that to my second kid, but I think I'm failing. Sorry, Mom: I get it now.

[eb777888]

Nope. I was the third born. There were a few in my baby book but my mom misplaced it at some point and can't find it (it must be gone because she is totally a clutter-free person and has a small house).

My grandmother sent me a bunch of photos she had. She had her old slides converted to digital so I have about 20 photos of me under 5. OMG,I was so so so happy to see these. I didn't even know what I looked like as a kid.

And now, I'm apeshit about documenting everything about David. It's a bit of a problem.

Quite a few before the age of 12. My dad took most of the photos and he passed when I was 14, so as a result I have very few photos of me as a teen. My mom takes a billion pictures nowadays.
