    She's probably using those photos as a benchmark of how she looks. Yikes.

    Since one just does not simply walk into Mordor, I say we form a conga line and dance our way in.
    Excuse me, are you in a play​?

    She posts hundreds of pictures of herself so I don't think my pictures are her benchmark. It's funny...we recently got family photos and I am about 99% sure the photographer made me skinnier. Fine with me! I think most if not all photographers use the liquifying tool.

    I has no idea photographers did this! I was just pleasantly surprised as I looked better than I thought I did on picture day

    I'm going to start requesting skinnification! This is excellent news I've been holding off on a new family photo.

    It's definitely a way for photographers to make more money. If people are happy with their pics, they buy them! I think of it as similar to smoothing skin or cloning out pimples. Taking 5-10 lbs. off a person is super easy in photoshop.

    Ditto! Melt my fat off, baby!

    I wish I'd known this with our last pro session. DD was a month old and I wasn't feeling super excited about the way I looked. I'm going to look on the bright side and say, he just didn't think I needed it.

    To the OP: I eye roll, then block people who are frequent braggadocios. It's easy to spot the serials.
