Nothing more than opinion and pure speculation-

I don't think photographs age the people in them. That would seem
counter to the point of photographs. When I look at an old school
photo, I don't do it because I want to know what I look like today, if
I want to know that, I look in a mirror; I look at school photos to
remember what I looked like back then.

However, while I don't think photos age naturally, I do think they can
be aged. Perhaps someone on the paper used a spell or a charm, to age
old photos so they resembled how the people look today; even muggle do
that.

In addition, I have this theory that photos are like miniature stage
plays. The subjects in the photo are like actors in that they play out
the context in which the photo is taken and in some case, the context
in which the photo is used. 

Just thought I would throw that last bit in for  free.
