Burn Baby Burn
“My family after a day of skiing. Looks like dad forgot sunscreen. The little red head (my sister) had to go to the hospital because her eyes swelled shut.”

Prom Dad
“My dad had a medical procedure the day of my prom and was out of his mind on pain killers when my mom insisted that I pose with him before prom. I like to think he would’ve put down the hose for the pic if he’d been in his right mind, but in all honesty it could’ve gone either way. He has no memory of taking this photo.”

Her Hairness
“This is my senior high school picture. It was 1990 but I still lived in the 80’s!”

Look Who’s Talking
“When I was in first grade I did a ventriloquist act in the talent show at school. When it came time for school photos, we were given the option of including a prop in our portraits, so I thought it would be a great idea to be photographed with my dummy. I was secretly terrified of that thing and couldn’t sleep if it was in my room.”

Irish Springs
“Brian, the baby was suffering through the mumps, Dick had gotten his first dose of the herp, mom gave Siobhan the Dorothy Hamill and Deirdra was pissed at the world… perfect day for a family photo!”

Reach Out And Touch
“I photographed my sister-in-law’s wedding (my husband’s sister). I knew the window overlooked a part of the hotel’s roof, but I didn’t notice the workers until after I snapped a few pictures. When I got home and downloaded all the pictures, I couldn’t stop laughing when I saw this. Lucky for me she has a good sense of humor and allowed me to share it with you.”

Everybody Was Kung-Fu Fighting

Pepto Perfect
“It was my dad’s idea to dress us all for the annual family photo in pink.”

Blades Of Glory
“My younger brother in his ‘awkward yet fabulous’ phase. Please note the following:
1. Western-style shirt with Christmas-star-snowflake ornament….
2. One exposed skate (just to prove that you’re wearing skates?).
3. Indestructible plastic-frame glasses because, of course, the parents were worried about their child breaking the stylish/expensive ones.
4. Gold lamé fabric bringing out the most unsympathetic tones in the ginger kid’s skin and hair.”

Gold Digger
“Myself, circa 1990. Apparently the photographer gave the print to my mother for free.”
