Siblings
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.”

Mixed Emotions
“My kids all were pretty excited about going back to school. However, I think the nerves got to my 1st grader and she cried about everything that morning. Back to school picture gold. She ended up having a great day, but my second grader who was most excited out of the three said it was ‘boring.'”

Renaissance Regrets
“I lived in Luxembourg as a kid so my family did a lot of traveling in the five years we lived there. In looking through the pictures, it was obvious that my siblings and I were not happy campers on this trip to Italy as we all refused to smile in every picture. I’m sure my Dad thought it was hilarious to have his eight-year-old daughter pose in front of a fat naked man sitting on a turtle.
The statue is ‘The Fountain of Bacchus’, sculpted in 1560 by Valerio Cioli. He used Duke Cosimo I’s court dwarf as the model for Bacchus. If you want to see the statue today, or take your own picture with it, it’s at the Boboli Gardens in Florence, Italy.”
