Behind The Awkwardness
Who’s Watching The Baby?
“Four generations gathered for Christmas a couple of years ago. We thought it would be fun to get a shot of our 7 grandchildren, who rarely get a chance to see each other. Just as I snapped the picture, the littlest, Eli, somehow slipped off the railing. A treasured family memory!”

The Invisible Man
“When my father got remarried after my parent’s divorce, my mother went through the family albums and cut him out of all of the family photos. Using scissors to behead him became too labor intensive, so she switched to white-out. This one is a photo of my mother and my father on a scooter.”

The Reba McEntire
“Taken probably in 1996. To this day, I’m still questioning how my mom and hairdresser thought this ‘do was a good look for picture day at school. And combine it with pre-braces teeth…”

Moustache Rides
“My older step-sisters had given me this shirt that I never understood at the time but because they gave it to me, I loved it. I realized many years later what the shirt meant and then started remembering the looks I would get from teachers & adults when I wore the shirt. Why they allowed me to wear it as my Grade 7 class picture, I’ll never know but I’ve got a great story as the result of it.”

Back To School
“My sister and me on the first day of school. Apparently I went to school with Willy Wonka and my sister with Zach Morris at Bayside!”

Just One Of The Dolls
“This is a photo of my Great Aunt Terri– The Terri Lee Dolls were actually named after her, but from this picture I think she was just one of the girls!”
Family Protest
“My brother & I were none too pleased with the attire or arrangement of the photo. I was a HUGE tomboy who told her she could dress me up but could NOT make me smile. My brother was mad she put the younger/smaller brother in the higher position.”

Belly 2K
“We were so excited about Y2K that our moms took us to get our belly buttons pierced our senior year… 15 years later is looks like a poster for an after school special.”

Brotherly Love
“My brother was obviously having some adjustment issues. My parents proudly displayed this photo for years and it now has a special place in my own home.”
