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.”

Caught Red-Handed

Gearheads
“On our way to visit our grandparents house, we had to stop at Sears for something. My step mother saw the photo booth and decided we would do our annual family photo right then, without brushing our hair, or even taking our head gear off! Needless to say, we were not thrilled.”

The Anatomy Of A Portrait Gone Wrong
“She had run away from me and by the time I caught up with her, she had discovered the mud puddle. I know my kid, and I knew that with the mood she had been in all morning, she would dive into the puddle as soon as I tried to get her away from it. So I just took photos. Worth it!”
Punky Brewster
“This is my daughter in her preschool class. My husband at the time was a stay at home dad with a punk rock history. He thought it was awesome, she did too, for about 5 minutes. I’m glad we captured it. She’s 14 now and gives it the sideways glance as it’s hanging up in our hallway.”

Father and Son of Anarchy
“How do you get a 7 year old into a smokey biker bar? Dress him up like you and parade him around as your personal mascot. I played a lot of pool during my youth while Dad drank beer with his friends. I still, to this day, hate motorcycles and all things leather. Thanks, Dad.”

The Big Bang Theory
At my fathers calling hours last year, this gem popped up on the slideshow, providing much needed comic relief to me and my family. I had blocked this out, and for good reason. My step mother reminded me of a spring break trip to visit them in 1996 and her suggesting we take a nice picture. I’m not sure about nice, but we certainly did take a picture.

Braces, Bows & Spandex
“My mom is moving and cleaning out her house… she sent this to me while I was at work. I believe I had blocked out the memory of this event… for good reason.” #bracesandlace #mortified #spitoutmystarbucks
