Family Portrait
Personal Best
“My family posed for this gem in December 1993. I was 10; my brothers were 8 and 13. My mother loved themed portraits and says now in her defense, ‘Track suits were really hot back then. Everyone wore them. People wore them to work.”

Hot Tub Greetings
“My parents just got a hot tub and were very excited about it. Therefore, my grandma hired a professional photographer to take a family photo in the hot tub. For some reason they posed with wine and candles even though the children were not old enough to drink… and sent it out to 150 plus friends as a Christmas card.”

Vesting Period
“My father, brothers, and I in 1983. The sad part is it wasn’t planned that way. We all just showed up this way.”

The Family Tree
“This is a photo from my brother’s Bar Mitzvah. I am guessing it was the photographer’s attempt at an “arty” photo.”

Floral Arrangement

Seriously
“My wife on the far right and her family circa 1999 right after their dad yelled at the kids for not taking the portraits seriously.”
