Fun-girl
“When I was a kid, we went hiking a lot and I collected fungi, complete with the date and location of where I found each of them. I was very very proud of my collection.”

Make Yourself Comfortable
“This is my mother, my sister and me posing for our annual Christmas picture in a Walmart in Louisiana circa 2008. Please note the matching Banana Republic sweaters that were purchased on clearance and no, those aren’t spray tans. It was just very hot in the studio.”

Sesame Ave
“I think this was around ’92 or ’93. My mom worked at a nursing home and these Sesame Street characters were there for the day (???). Can you tell me how to get, how to get to…never mind.”

Cirque du Wedding
“In 1995, my husband and I eloped to Las Vegas to get married. Cirque du Soleil was just starting in Vegas at the time. Since we had a quick wedding and not many photos, we decided to get this epic wedding photo taken at our hotel. I do not regret a thing.”

Basket Case
“My parents had brought me to a portrait studio, and apparently I didn’t want my picture taken. It was taken anyway, just with a surreal approach.”

The Birthday Girl
“This was taken for my mom’s December birthday — notice the weird birthday cake with Christmas trees on it. She looks thrilled. One hand with a death grip on my brother (who thought he was the ultimate warrior from WWE) and the other with a cigarette to take the edge off.”

More Than Meets The Eye
“Being a mom isn’t easy so while you try to get one kid to sleep you’re also playing with another.”

Crappy Birthday
“It was a custom that the cousins would give out the birthday spankings, but apparently for my birthday that year, it got a little rough. I think I look terrified. It’s like a scene out of “Lord of the Flies.” Notice the John Travolta poster in the background, and the fact that my brother is laughing maniacally and holding a leather belt.”
