Family Portrait

Helping Hands

“This is me and my back then 3, 2 and almost 1 year old.. my dear neighbor who was a studio photographer offered to take a a pic of us.. that was as good as she could do.. awkward but I LOVE the picture.. it’s sooo how I felt and how my life was.. (not that I needed a picture to remember that time in my life.. ;))”

The Incredible Hulk

“My cousins got together for a Christmas family photo. Everyone was asked to wear their best outfit. Needless to say, it was open to interpretation for one of my cousins.”

In Bloom

“A picture of my family and I (I’m the little girl with brown hair). My mom thought it would be a good idea to take the family to get professional photos. We were rocking the mullets, huge glasses, and floral prints.”

Tube Tops

“This is a portrait of me and my mom taken at the local Woolworth’s in the late 70’s. My mom thought it would be cute to take photos in our tube tops. I posted this pic on FB as it’s always been one of my favorites; I thought it was so sweet. Two weeks later, a friend saw it on FB and suggested that it could be a contender for your site. I HAD NEVER THOUGHT OF THE PHOTO IN THAT LIGHT, but now that I see what others see, I can’t stop laughing.”
