Mom & Dad
Picking A Winner
“My family, the Dalys. Taken in the early 1970s. I’m the big brother. We were getting family photo at FOX studios and this was the first photo they took. My sister obviously was still getting ready. The photographer thought it was funny and my folks did too, so they had it printed. We had another taken but this one is the winner. We still talk about to this day. Here’s a photo from dad’s 73rd birthday two days ago.”

Look How Much Fun We’re Having!
“My parents are on vacation at the ocean and my mom sent this picture to my sister with the text, ‘Look how much fun we’re having!’ Obviously.”

Gravestone Preparedness
“Has to be one of the most cringeworthy Christmas cards I’ve ever seen. That is my parents in front of THEIR OWN gravestones they purchased this year…At least they are prepared!”

Merry Punkmas
“This is my boyfriend as an angry teen, with his parents, who seem to be taking his punk phase in stride. (Well, his Mom at least.)”

Balloon Face
“We’d just finished having fun at a church supper and went out to the playground. My daughter had had enough, but at least my wife and son were still willing to smile. I ended up behind the balloon and an awkward family photo was born!”

Colonial Chic
“After a trip to Colonial Williamsburg, Mom was inspired to create costumes for the entire family for the next family photo. This hung, proudly in our living room for years.”

Keeping Their Noses Clean
“Taken at a formal photographer’s studio in 1975. Mom and Dad did it as a joke but I really meant it.”

Take Your Pick
“We took this family picture during a trip to Clark’s Trading Post in New Hampshire. We were obviously very excited to get those awesome glitter & streamer batons and to be sharing the day together. But the best part is the woman picking at her underwear.”

Window Watcher
“This was not one of our best family photos, but somehow it works! It was Easter. I was newly pregnant and throwing up all day. Our one-year-old daughter would not sit still, hence the look on my husband’s face. Oh, and our three-year-old son decided this would be the only spot he would stand in. Somehow he looks like he is photobombing the pic, and is possibly an extra in ‘Children of the Corn’.”

Hawaiian Gothic
“This was a family portrait. I suspect my mother sewed the outfits.”
