Does anyone else rarely take photos of you with your baby / child?

Since having my son 2 years ago, there are barely any photos of us together. I find I turn the camera round and end up photographing him with my husband - we've lots of really lovely ones of them together. As for me I feel I've aged so much since having him, and still have half a stone of baby weight, but more just the tiredness in my face, and lack of time to look after myself as I used to. I hate looking at photos of myself. So I don't take photos or I decline. I feel I've made myself a bit invisible and it's sad.

Anyone else have this?

I did with my first when smart phones and selfies weren't a thing. I refused this time and take my own

I don't have any on my phone. We don't have a camera - always use our phones but there are no photos of me and my son.

I appr3that you don't like the way you look but please for the love of goodness take some pictures of the 2 of you together. He won't care if you look tired or you're heavier than you'd like to be but he will care when he grows up that there are no pictures of the 2 of you together.
