Spirit Of ’76
“Me and my two sisters at an Olan Mills studio in Stone Mountain, Georgia in 1976. My mom was trying to get a surprise photo for a Christmas gift for my dad. I think there was a better option, but this was the one they went with. Obviously, we all chose outfits to match our personal style.”

Baptism By Fire
“This is a picture of my baptism. My mom thought it would be great to have a little extra entertainment so two of her friends dressed up as clowns. They used whatever my mom had in her house. I think that’s my moms red shirt and red pants. If you look closely, it looks like the clown on the right has blood on his checkered scarf…”

“The choir I participated in as a child held a day of glamor shots for the kids and their moms. I love the light glinting off the rhinestones AND my turquoise braces.”
