I didn't read the OP title as she is poor as in lacking money, I took it as she is poor in as it was too bad her dad was going to take her senior pictures. When I was in HS and didn't get professional pictures done, it was because I thought it was a racket to pay that much for photos. I think the OP is trying to be helpful, not hurtful. BTW-The economy the way it is now, I'm sure many people are hesitant to spend money on things that aren't necessary.
Now, everyone go vote for her!
The op said her family couldn't afford to have them done professionally. So regardless of the sentiment (while I will agree her heart was in the right place), it would still be embarrassing since she posted her first and last name and said they couldn't afford it. BTW I think alot of it is a racket. We took my daughters picture in her prom dress (which was just 3 weeks before graduation) in front of the fireplace. I took several shots and picked the best one and that was what went with her announcements. Had someone thought my daughter was the poor girl (whether financially poor or like aw that poor thing) and posted it on the internet I'd be ticked.
I talked to her about it, especially the way I posted it and she LOVED it. She was just thankfull for all the support here on BYC..
