Big Baby

“Between his giant, hairless head and his adorable neck wrinkles, my fiance, Andrew, still looks exactly like his baby pictures. The first time I visited his parents and saw the old photos, I knew what their Christmas present would be the next year.

I scanned in the original sepia toned baby pics, and spend a day demanding Andrew recreate them. This wasn’t as fun as we thought it would be, because it involved me directing Andrew to do impossible things like “make your chin more wrinkled, but don’t tip your head down. Look towards the sun, but don’t squint and don’t frown. Giggle like a baby! No, no, not like that. Be more cute! Eyes wider but also make your neck fatter and relax your shoulders! Stay still while a smear this donut on you.”  Anyway, we learned I’m bad at art directing and he’s real bad at being a baby, but the photo collage came out amazing. He’s adorable, then and now.”

The Chaperones

‘This photo was taken before my elementary school’s annual Father Daughter dance. My sister and I are standing alongside our father on the right, our family friends are to the left, and two motherly chaperones had a little too much to drink and took it upon themselves to pose in our photo with us. It ended up looking like a polygamist advertisement. It was quite the experience & the picture just exudes awkward.”

Anything You Can Do

“This is my older daughter – her sister is the one laughing hysterically on the bed.  The little one had been doing ‘acrobatic’ moves jumping through the spaces on her bunk bed ladder, and her big sister thought it would be funny to try it herself. After I finished laughing hysterically and running to another room to get the camera, I did eventually help her get free.”

An Uplifting Moment

“This is a photo of my family and me from a few years back. I’m the oldest and in the middle, youngest on the left, middle child on the right. We didn’t plan this, but it turned out to be pretty awkward.”

Death Of A Flower Girl

“This was taken at my sister’s wedding. The photographer had an idea to pose ‘Charlie’s Angels’ style with the groomsmen lying on the ground. My energetic daughter, the flower girl, jumped at the opportunity to lie on the ground with the boys. The result made it look like we had murdered her…”

It Wasn’t Even Halloween

“I wanted to be a teen model desperately and needed pictures to send to modeling agencies so I had mom take some pictures of me with my three favorite things – black lipstick, stuffed animals and of course Motley Crue. I never got called.”
