Family Portrait
No Way Out
“Not sure what the photographer said to inspire the smile through the pained expressions on all of us, but Dad is clearly looking for a way out.”

Toga Party
“My husband, his mother and sister. My mother-in-law thought she was being ‘artistic.'”

Daughter Brawl
“This pretty much sums up my childhood. I’m the blond on the left burying my head in my sister’s lap while she gets in a cheap shot. The youngest is fish-hooking my other sister while my mother looks on and laughs. My father is letting everyone know what his future looks like with four daughters like these.”

Potpourri
“The year was 1992 or 93, the place Olan Mills. I’m the one with glasses, braces and the mushroom cut. My sister and I were wearing matching dresses my grandmother made. There is so much going on in this picture, I don’t even know where to start…It’s cringeworthy all around!”

Jesse’s Protest
“My Mom bought a family portrait for a school fundraiser. My little brother, Jesse, refused to cooperate, so finally my Mom told him he could just turn around. Sixteen-year-old me is in the tie-dye, wishing this was not my family.”

Fashion Forward
“I don’t know what’s worse: our eighties hair, glasses, or outfits.”

Cellular
“My dad Larry opened one of the first cell phone stores in Houston Texas and was known as “the cell phone kingpin.” I wish you could have seen the commercial that ran with him on a unicycle.”

The Stand-In
“This is my Dad’s family in 1991 and the photo was hanging in my grandma’s house for years with the caption written underneath. Oh the things you did before Photoshop.”

“We were standing waiting for the pictures to be taking – all of us doing whatever. My husband was taking the pictures and he was testing the shot. Could not have posed this one if we tried.”
