Family Portrait
I Fold
“This was taken after church one Saturday. My parents look like they don’t want to be there. My Uncle looks like he’s surprised to be there, (which might explain why he’s holding a folder), and me and my brother are just there.”

Take Twenty
“After twenty attempts trying to get everyone to smile, and my sister being afraid of camera flashes, my frustrated father yelled out “Just take the damn picture!”

Farm Team
“Mom and dad always wanted a farm but they went corporate instead so we were forced into these outfits for Halloween until we were 10.”

The Original Tan Mom
“My mother was so tan, she looked like a member of a different family. On another note, our dog ‘Snowball’ seemed pleased.”

Suspended
“This is a picture of me (the little girl), my brother, and my parents. Yes, my brother is wearing acid washed jeans held up by red suspenders. Yes, my father is rockin’ the pencil ‘stache. Yes, I have the ‘I need an adult’ face. I’m not sure what concerns me more – what my parents are doing to my brother or my brother’s enjoyment of it.”

East German Style
“With relatives in West Germany (before the reunification in 1989), we were in the lucky position to get some Levi’s jeans or hot fake snakeskin pants.”

Nut House
“This is a family portrait where we are wearing t-shirts from our boiled peanut business. We had an early morning appointment and got up 15 minutes before our time. The stunned look on our faces is actually a waking up look and thoughts of what are we doing!!!! It has become a family classic.”

Meet Gurgle
“Yes, my father’s ventriloquist dummy, Gurgle Worthington, was a part of the family.”

And Then There Were Six
“This family photo hung in my Pop and Gram’s house for years. To say they didn’t like my aunt’s ex-husband may have been an understatement.”
