Kids
Sweater Inception
“It was picture day and I wanted to wear my favorite sweater and my favorite pants. Nine-year-old me didn’t give a heck if they matched or not. Surely one of the miniature sweaters ON my sweater matched my pants. Also, I had this problem of just smiling as big as I could in pictures no matter what.”

Smashing Pumpkins
“We were taking some shots in the pumpkin patch and trying to get the baby to stop crying. His sister was sitting behind him and decided she wanted to play with a small pumpkin. She was about a foot behind his head but it ended up looking like she was the cause of his discomfort!”

The Fight Before Christmas
“Our annual family pictures used to be very stressful events, but 1998 took the cake. In this picture, I had just taken a Santa doll from my sister. She retaliated by slapping me and taking the doll back. I was clutching my face and my dad flipped her over his shoulder just as the automatic timer went off. All my mom could do was stand by helplessly.”
