Jackman

“A senior picture that seemed like a fun idea at the time. Now it lives in infamy within the family as ‘The Jacks Picture.'”

Wooden Shoes

“What’s that? The lost Dutch photo has been found?? I may be committing social suicide here (not to mention social homicide for my brother and sister), but I think this shot deserves a longer life than just a one-time photo spread in an art supply catalog.”

Straight Shooters

Branching Out

“This was taken at the rodeo when my family from the UK came to visit. We all were dressed in our best “rodeo” attire & not until this photo did we realize how cheesy we looked. I dread to think what’s going through the mind of the guy in the background! I’m still not sure what possessed my Dad (at the back of the formation) to add the soft focus around the edges prior to sending it to us all!”

Easter’s Finest

“I like this picture of my daughters. They, however, have a different idea of it. All dressed up for Easter!”

Come On Ride The Train

“All aboard the mullet train! Mid 80’s professional photo shoot with the family. I love the way my dad is leaning in and my brother’s smile is priceless. Oh, then there are the matching mullets on my me and my sister…”

Strike A Pose

“My daughter loved this glamour shot when she was 11, hated it when she was 13. Now she’s 27 and wants to share it with the world!”
