Babies
Wipeout
“My sister and I are posed for a quick photo before her wedding. Meanwhile my mom is changing my nephew’s diaper in the background but no one noticed it! We have all passed the picture around and had a lot of laughs.”

Comfort Pack
“It was a “Sears photo” type situation from back around 1969-1970, my mother (all of 19) said they were trying to get me to sit still and stop squawking (which has gotten worse as I’ve gotten older). She cannot recall exactly, but she believes that my father (20) who smoked (natch), presumably handed them to me as a distraction (or maybe I just crawled over and grabbed them to smoke one, honestly, I wouldn’t put it past me, even as a toddler) so the photographer could snap the picture.”

Boy Meets World
“One of the first pictures of my newborn son and my husband. Not only is my baby cranky, he is expressing his displeasure with a definitive middle finger to the world.”

Fall Fashion
“2013, American Fork, Utah. My mother in law wanted a huge family photo. For some reason she put us all in ugly bright colored sweaters in the middle of the summer (90 something degrees) and wanted us all to stand in random spots on the steps and smile. I was on camera duty and so I pushed the timer and hauled it back to my spot but wiped out just as the photo was snapped.”
