Having meals with non-mahrams

Q: Is it permissible for me to sit and eat with my girl cousins while her father, mother, brother and my mother are also seated there.

Also, can I say جَزَاكَ اللَّهُ خَيْرًا and speak about general things like Madrasah with her mother, who is my mother's brother's wife while they are wearing abaya and scarf but part of their hair or neck is exposed?

Taking pictures of one's child for memories of precious moments

Q: I’m a first time mother. Together with my husband, we have decided not to take pictures of our baby or let anyone else as well. We ourselves don’t take pictures/videos of each other.

I love how my infant looks now and how she looked as a baby MashaAllah TabarkAllah , but as she’s growing, I’m forgetting all of that and it makes me sad. I haven’t felt very tempted to take a picture but sometimes I look down and feel bittersweet; feeling grateful and happy and also feeling like one day I’ll forget a precious moment.

I was wondering, would it be ok if I took pictures but kept them just for myself, never printing them?
