Mom
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.”
