The Engagement Pics
This was 2004 – and these were my senior pictures. The two boys are my best friends since we were 3 and I thought it would be a great way to memorialize our friendship. Instead they all looked like really bad polyamourous engagement pictures, complete with us holding hands and skipping off into the sunset. Needless to say, my parents didn’t purchase those. We still refer to these as “The Engagement Pics”.

I Swear It’s Patrick From Sponge Bob
“Poor kid put his shirt for picture day in the wash… but he got up to late and didn’t have time to dry it. So he had to pick a different shirt… I swear that is just Patrick’s head from Sponge Bob. Oh, dear.”

The Kiss and I
“My parents took me and my sis to Paris. I was clearly not impressed. Their marriage is still awesome, 30 years strong! Love you two.”

Bombed
“We were getting professional family photos taken in Cathedral Park in Portland, Oregon and as the sun started setting, more and more random people started flocking around us. This random drunk guy decided that he wanted to get in our picture!”

Recreating The Awkwardness
“This photo is a recreation we took of our kids 11 years later at Lake Louisa in Clermont, FL. We often took trips here when the kids were younger and came back to specifically recreate this shot.”

Sweet & Low
“I was shooting engagement photos for my sister and her fiance and told them to do something sweet. This was their first thought.”

Bathroom Selfies
“My husband has tried to tell my son that posting bathroom selfies is not cool and not something guys do.
He decided to take one of his own too to make a point. It was also the topic of discussion for my husband, an attorney, in the courtroom the next day. We file it under ‘parenting win.'”

Strip Search
“In cleaning out at Grandma’s house today, with some Rockstar Renegades, we came across a precious family photo showing a few of us grandkids celebrating Grandpa’s birthday with him. And a stripper. Isn’t that precious? She was cousin Jason’s first crush, and remarkably looks just like his sister. I know we’re redneck and all, but ummm… And I’m not sure if I’m picking my nose in disgust, or pondering a career in exotic dancing, as I already have the wardrobe.”

Recreating The Awkwardness
“On the left, me when I was one rocking the awesome jumpsuit. When my son turned one, my mom decided to resurrect the jumpsuit (she saves everything) so I figured I’d recreate the picture. I wish I still had that puppy!”

Cowgirl
“This picture is of me and my twin brother. I guess my parents didn’t realize what my shirt said or that my brothers zipper was down.”
