Tyke Bike

“I was going through old pictures and found this gem that my parents had taken of me as a child. The bangs and the bike all together make a look.”

Fly Girl

“I always had the worst luck with school pictures. The one year I managed to keep my eyes open a fly photo bombed me. Figures.”

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.”

The Bee’s Knees

“1984, Green Bay, WI. I was in 4th grade and my Mom had decided to give me a home perm. That sweater with the embroidered bee & turtleneck was my signature outfit. And I was certain I looked awesome that day.”

Overfrown

“This is my kindergarten school picture. I was four, and apparently hated taking pictures. The arm you see on the left is my mother’s, to ensure I would stay put while they took the picture.”
