Picture-taking can be a wonderful way to have her flourish in terms of her own self-image.
Here's what you do. Take a BUNCH of pictures. Get a fresh battery and a big memory card and just snap like crazy. Then BEFORE SHE SEES THEM, you edit them. ANYTHING that she might possibly see and think she looks fat or ugly or silly or fat, etc, delete with extreme prejudice. ONLY keep the ones that most clearly showcase the beauty you see in her. Any picture you think she might argue with you about how she looks goes in the trash. As you edit them down, look at them the way SHE'D look at them, not the way you look at them. You'll want to keep them all. DON'T. Only keep the ones she'd be happy to see.
If she's like my wife was when we started taking pics, you might end up with three or four keepers out of a night of shooting, but those keepers show her how she REALLY looks. And your editing them first shows her that the good pictures are how YOU see her.
