Family Portrait
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.”

Big Hair, Don’t Care
“The last (and arguably the greatest) professional portrait studio photo of my husband and his family.”

The Cutting Crew
“This pic is my mom, dad, brother, sister and her husband, me and my demonic-looking son. This family portrait was taken in the 80s…we were really a scary crew.”

No Frills

Nogjam
“This is a photo of myself (mom) and my family, minus our oldest daughter, who wouldn’t be caught dead in this photo.”
