Cousin's naked bath photo posted on the wall

About 10 years ago my uncle was hosting thanksgiving dinner at his home, his daughter (my cousin) was around 10 years old at the time. At one point I went to use their (one and only) bathroom, and after closing the bathroom door I discovered about a dozen photos of them and their family pinned to the inside of the bathroom door. To my surprise one of the photos was of my cousin, about as tall as she was at the time, standing fully naked in a bath tub with her hands at her side, looking annoyed and facing the camera.
This was a big surprise since any nudity beyond 2 or so years old was uncommon in our family, but her mom was from eastern europe so maybe they do things different there. I remember when I was 10 the idea of seeing another girl my age naked was out of the question, and she certainly seemed too old to have such a photo taken of her.
I didn't bring it up when I left the bathroom, but their family mentioned that they've made friends with some neighborhood families with other boys and girls the same age and how they sometimes come over for play dates. Unless that photo was put up just for family at thanksgiving, it seems likely that some of her friends had used the bathroom and also had seen the photo of her fully naked.
I've always wondered what she thought of it, did she care that literally everyone in the family saw her nude? Did she protest against it at the time but her parents overruled her? Did she even know about it until later? What did her friends say to her after they saw it? Was she embarrassed? Indifferent?
I know I would have been humiliated beyond belief if that happened to me, so I suspect it was the same for her.
