Solo Shots

Eastern Exposure

“This picture was taken on my first day of high school, in 1997. The photographer thought there was something wrong with the camera, so he leaned in to take a look. He ended up taking a picture mid-inspection. This is the phot that was put in my yearbook and is a great reminder of how awkward high school can be.”

Bang Time

“So this was taken in 1988 for my kindergarten picture day. My mom hand picked this shirt/tie combo but I’m not sure of the story behind my hair.”

Glamour Girl

“My dad took me to the mall to get Glamour Shots done for my tenth birthday. I was so excited, this was everything to me. I turned out to look like a 40-something real estate agent, and a possible Delta Burke twin. Designing Women, here I come! LOL!”

Lifting With Lasers

“My senior picture. When my friends asked me what the deal was, I said, ‘I liked to lift weights in high school, and my dad was a photographer. That’s all I got, I honestly have no memory of doing it.'”

Meet Fred

“Here I am as a child holding my favorite ‘doll’: a one-cent bathroom tile my mom got me at the hardware store. His name was Fred and he lived in a luxurious dollhouse, had a vacation home and a boat. Not pictured are his tile wife and tile triplets.”

Flower Girl

“This picture was taken at my daughter’s preschool. I think the photographer thought having her hold a flower would make for a really cute and innocent picture.  She was a little preoccupied with the flower and when he told her to smile this was the result.  All the other pictures of her from that day turned out adorable but it appears as though she let her guard down and showed us her dark side by mistake.”
