Mood Piece
“My mother wanted to have a nice portrait with her three daughters. This was approximately 1996. My older sister in the Kimono style dress is obviously annoyed. I’m standing, with terrible posture, staring down the photographer with dagger eyes. My younger sister is making a fish face. We are know for taking some crazy pictures, but I think this was a candid moment we continue to cherish.”

Three Kates
“This is my friend Kate. I recovered this picture from helping her move a few years ago and with her permission am sending to you. 80’s Kate is fond of books, sitting and perms.”

The Queen Of Dew
“When I was a senior in high school, I was obsessed with Mountain Dew. I would have like six a day, any size. There was never a time one was not in my hand. So for my senior photos, I thought it was going to be a great idea to make a throne of Mountain Dew to sit on. I went out the morning of my photos and bought six 24-packs to build my throne. It took me a few weeks to get through all of it. It’s hilarious now because I don’t drink Mountain Dew anymore.”

Life With Four Kids
“This was our first photo shoot after child #4 entered the scene. This pretty well sums up our home life.”

Table For One
“My mother is the most wonderfully creative woman I know. And usually, that’s a great thing. Unless she’s making me be a table for Halloween. She was so excited for this costume, you wouldn’t believe. She glued a real loaf of bread to it. She cut out pictures if food from magazines and glued them to paper plates. It rained that year so while we Trick-or-Treated, my sweet little sister took shelter under the thing all night. The costume was a hit though!”

Desperado
“This was taken for my first communion celebration. Why the photographer decided to put my face on my Dad’s crotch, I’ll never know.”

The New Kid
“Donnie Wahlberg awkwardly feeding me a pickle from his cheeseburger. I actually did not know who the New Kids on the Block were. My dad worked on cruise ships and I always went with him. He made me go up there for this picture and I was terrified of them, of course I am now thrilled to have this picture.”
