Mom
On Thin Ice
“When I was in middle school, I wanted to take ice skating lessons. My mom, who was always very competitive, decided to sign up too. This photo was taken the day we had our big performance and mom, of course, was better than I was.”

The Glam Gals
“My mom and I did “mother/daughter” glamour shots at a local motel in a janky hotel room in the late 90s. The photographer thought it would be a lovely idea to have us sit back to back and be encircled by black and white feather boas. He also commented on my “beautiful eyes.” At the time, I actually had pink eye so maybe they appeared more green? After all these years, I look back at this picture and smile. It was weird, somewhat concerning, and ridiculously funny.”

Sweater Party
“The photographer of our mother-daughter portrait session posed my younger sister, on the right, as a late arrival to the matchy-matchy sweater party. And my ever-youthful mother was wise to wear a different color to signify that she was the mom and not a sibling.”

Let It Flow
“This is a photo of me and my mom taking an apparently too long of a walk around the neighborhood. It’s a good thing there’s a photo to remember the moment.”
