Our Little Pumpkin
“My 3 year old was very unhappy about his first preschool field trip even though it was to a fun pumpkin patch. He scowled at everyone and everything the entire time and was even madder after I coerced him to getting behind this pumpkin cut-out to take this picture… if looks could kill, I would have been dead immediately after taking this photo!”

Denim Divas
“The high waist pants, crisp jean shirts and of course the hair, courtesy of overnight foam rollers. Oh the 90s.”

The Big Dig
“This is my family. Maybe 1977. The beautiful backdrop of the golden sunset on wallpaper accentuates the glow of happiness on our faces. My little sister is clearly the champion. My dad was a part time photographer in the 70’s, and we took lots of posed family portraits. This one my sister found deep in the archives of old negatives. It never saw the light of day….until now.”

Laid Back Leather
“This was taken in I think 1993 when I was 11 and my mom took me to get glamour shots at this little hair salon in rural Massachusetts. I remember thinking how cool I looked but now I just have to laugh.”

The Little Engine That Couldn’t
“My sister performing in our elementary school play ‘The Little Engine That Could’ in the early nineties. She was the ‘happiest birthday train’ and she nailed it.”

Welcome To Drenthe
“My Dad, me, and some creepy doll in Drenthe, The Netherlands in 1997. My Dad was actually sitting on the doll’s lap.”
