Siblings
Turbulence
“This picture is of my little sister and me in 1996. I loved playing with my baby sister so I was holding her up in the air over my head, playing ‘airplane’. My mom told me moments before this photo was taken that she just ate and that I probably shouldn’t do that but I told her that she already burped and playing with her will be fine. Mom was right.”

The Blowout
“My mom and aunt were always into the big huge 80’s hair, but seriously wtf is on my head? My aunt did my hair, and my mom loved it enough to allow me to get professional pictures taken.”

Couch Potatoes: Recreation
“This is me and my two brothers in 1987. We were army brats living in Missouri at the time and my mom was always trying to get good pictures of us to send to our grandparents back home. This one turned out so well that we did a photo recreation for my parents for their 40th anniversary.”

Christmas Bird
“Christmas Eve in El Paso, Texas. My mom is wearing a Christmas tree outfit while my older brother is the one taking the picture and so I decided to flip him the birdie.”

Sweater Party
“The photographer of our mother-daughter portrait session posed my younger sister, on the right, as a late arrival to the matchy-matchy sweater party. And my ever-youthful mother was wise to wear a different color to signify that she was the mom and not a sibling.”

Wear & Stare
“Glamour shots at Zellers in the mid nineties. My sister kept blinking when they took the photo so they told her to keep her eyes open.”

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.”
