Floracular Spectacular
“My parents were married in 1981 and my mom wanted a picture of her looking down at her bouquet with a double-exposure of my dad’s head floating above her like she was thinking of him. Mom cried when she saw the resulting photo, but we all laugh over it now.”

Background Energy
“1991 was a wild time to be alive. I may not have had any control over how my mother styled those bangs but I did have control over that sweet, sweet portrait background choice. Also, I’m not sure what’s going on with my teeth.”

An Easter Possession
“This photo has baffled my family since it was taken on Easter 1984. When my mom got the photo back, she immediately had me try to pose like this and I couldn’t. We’ve never figured it out. No photoshop, and I assure you I am neither possessed by a demon nor anywhere near that flexible.”

All Aboard
“This was the first and and only year my sister and I were in dance classes. Please note: In the real world, I’ve never been on Amtrak with a conductor that wore this outfit. Sadly.”

Relief Appearance
“My aunt and my grandpa on a road trip in the mid 90s, grandma took the picture and wasn’t so aware of her surroundings.”

Eagle Eyes
“I nicknamed this photo “The Stare” because of my aunt’s look of “a deer caught in the headlights.” It’s obvious that she is not reacting to the photographer, as her two sons (my cousins) are both smiling pleasantly at the photographer. Regardless, you certainly wouldn’t want to challenge my aunt to a staring contest.”

Dig It
“My daughter was crying for the entire photo shoot and just when I thought we would get a normal picture…”

Helmet On The Head
“My grandma’s toilet was scary high to me when I was a kid and I just couldn’t use it because I was certain I’d fall off. My dad had the perfect solution for me: his motorcycle helmet. So here I am in a helmet, holding on for dear life.”

Mane Attraction
“Yeah, this is supposed to be a family photo, but let’s be honest: the real star is my brother’s ginormous, outrageously over-teased hair.”

Jortman
“This is my Dad prancing around in his cut off jeans. The two older women in the background look generally concerned, and with good reason. Yeah I see where I get my extreme enthusiasm for jorts.”
