Smashing Pumpkins

“We were taking some shots in the pumpkin patch and trying to get the baby to stop crying. His sister was sitting behind him and decided she wanted to play with a small pumpkin. She was about a foot behind his head but it ended up looking like she was the cause of his discomfort!”

The Fight Before Christmas

“Our annual family pictures used to be very stressful events, but 1998 took the cake. In this picture, I had just taken a Santa doll from my sister. She retaliated by slapping me and taking the doll back. I was clutching my face and my dad flipped her over his shoulder just as the automatic timer went off. All my mom could do was stand by helplessly.”

All Their Ducks In A Row

“This was a family portrait and Mom had made us all duck sweatshirts. I had an asymmetrical hairdo and I don’t know what was worse – Mom’s braces or her makeup!”

Ghost Boy

“Grandma wanted family photos of all her kids, so she dragged us to JC Penney’s. (No one wanted to do it.) The photographer was so disengaged that she didn’t notice my nephew sneaked into our picture, and we didn’t notice until we got all the prints back. We call this ‘ghost boy.'”
