Mom
Baby Got Back
“During our ‘perfect’ beach photo shoot, my oldest son jumped on my back, propelling my infant son out of my arms (as my middle son looked on in amusement). My infant son was not harmed, just wet and scared but mommy is forever traumatized.”

Leotard Chic
“I spent much time in a leotard during the late 1970s/early 89s, evidently much to the chagrin of my grandmother and sister, both giving me the stink eye here. Mum seems not to care. Thanks, mum.

Laser Denim Mullets
“I don’t think anyone is prepared for the 90s masterpiece of my mom, her boyfriend, me and my brothers. Those mullets. The lasers. And so much denim.”

Piggyback
“My Mom wanted my sister and I to pose together for dance recital photos. She wanted something unusual and suggested this. The photographer thought it was a swell idea.”

Break Point
“This is my birthday party (I’m the one blowing up the red balloon) in the mid 70s at the McDonalds in Richmond, BC. My mom looks like she’s had enough.”

Hump Day
“My husband was taking pictures of us while our dogs ran around in the backyard. As I held our son, my husband kept saying, “Now that’s a good one!” I instantly knew what was going on, but it was too late. Our little border collie has a problem with humping our Great Pyrenees, so it wasn’t a shock to us. It just made for an awkward family photo.”

Clown Town
“Here’s a picture of me that my mom took after giving me a new toy. Not sure why I don’t like clowns now. Philadelphia, 1970.”

We’ll Always Have Paris
“My son and I went to Paris for the weekend. He wanted to run and chase the pigeons but I wanted him to take a photo and he started having a tantrum and hit me in the face with his head.”
