Siblings
Flowers In The Attic
“The title of this picture refers to not only those HIDEOUS, flowery, matching skirts our mother forced us to wear, but also to us. I mean, look at us! We were certainly ugly ducks back then. My sister’s hair is pulled back in the tightest french braid possible, as you can tell by the look on her face, behind her gigantic glasses, all while I’m sporting that rather awesome “Dorothy Hamill” haircut. Props to our mother for picking out these flower skirts that look like a garden threw up on us! I’m still amazed that she actually bought the pictures…and these skirts. Thanks mom, really, we owe it all to you!!!”

Senior Slump
“I was taking senior pictures and my two younger siblings were freaking out while my mom tried to entertain them. So after two hours of them crying, I had it, sat down on the stair case, and tried to calm myself before I went crazy big sister. Being little an thinking every move I made was a gift from God, they followed me. My sister on the right is a talker that never stops, my brother has no attention span, and me in the middle, needless to say– they stress me out and this is a very common look for me.”

Cakepooling
“I am on the left (the brunette) any my little sister is on the right (the blonde). Our birthdays are just a few days apart so we shared a cake. Obviously, we were both so excited we could hardly contain ourselves. We were grumpy and disinterested way before it was cool.”

Safari Ride
“My parents, for some reason, got a kick out of dressing my brother and me in identical outfits for photographs. The theme for 1991 – Boys on Safari. In fact, we’ve decided to recreate the pose now, at ages 27 and 30 – just need to find the safari outfits in our sizes, and a photographer with an open mind.”

Hot Tub
“This is me and my sister, back on the farm in Saskatchewan where we grew up. My grandmother used to fill this wash tub with the hose and we called it the “swimming pool”. I am the one with the suspicious toothless smile and the half shaven doll. When my sister showed her friend this picture she was asked “Why is your brother holding a squeegee?”. Sister….I am her older sister….and I have no explanation for the squeegee.”

Hey, Let’s Pose With a Tree
“One day my sister and I were taking a walk when she suddenly said ‘Hey, lets go take pictures with the trees.'”

The Sportsmans
“My husband had an indoor Olympic competition for our 3 kids. The winner received the brackets and one of his old wrestling trophies. As you can see, the boys are thrilled that we made them take a picture with their younger sister, the champion. We were trying to teach them about sportsmanship. Mission accomplished.”

Sibling Rivalry
“My mom set up a photo shoot for us kids where the gal would cut out the photos and stick them to cut outs.”
