The Awkward Sisters Photo Contest
After receiving the most submissions in AFP history (over 3,000!), we’re proud to announce our winner. Congratulations to Ashley for winning a $1000 Amazon.com gift card and for showing us a new, and extremely confusing, sisterhood bond! Here’s the story in her own words:
My sister (the legs in the picture) and I (the face) were taking dance pictures and the photographer wanted us to strike our favorite pose. My sister is 10 years older than me so needless to say, we came home with an entertaining conversation piece!
Congratulations to our two runners-up, Melanie and Hannah and thanks to everyone in the AFP community for so many amazing submissions!
I remember being so proud that my sister and I had built a snowman. It wasn’t until years later that I understood why our parents thought it was so funny.
My sister and I were pregnant at the same time last year and we wanted to do something we would never forget. So on a cold October evening we braved the weather and met my photographer friend in the park. While we were taking pictures we all of a sudden noticed a flash from across the street – there was an old man standing on his apartment balcony taking our photos as well. We decided that was when we should call it quits – but not before we got this hilarious photo among a few others.
And don’t forget to check out SISTERS in theaters today!
Stripes
Early to mid 90s… Wilson Phillips was popular. It’s hard to be an angst risen teen while wearing MOM jeans.
The Smell of St. Nick
Santa smelled like cigarettes, b.o. and whiskey. My sister was NOT into it, and I was super excited that she was throwing a fit. I thought it meant Santa wouldn’t give her any presents and I would get double the bounty.
Slumber Party
I cannot attest to the context of this photo because I am the pair of legs sticking out of the crib, but my sister and I are clearly zonked at the end of a long day.
In Plain Sight
Right when my middle child wallflower syndrome was bursting forth in full force.
The Interloper
There’s a 10 year age difference between my sister and I and she used to get under my skin especially in my teen years…
Buzzkill
Little sisters first Christmas and she hates pictures. Oldest sister loves getting her picture taken and doesn’t understand why anyone would cry because of it.
Mullet For Two
This was one of the only pictures that we actually went somewhere and had them professionally taken.The only other time after this was our senior pictures. My sister (in red) had to tilt her head slightly to hide the scratch on her face from me. She tried to kill me on a daily basis and scratching was the only thing that stopped her. We get along much better now though.
Christmas Baby
My 1/2 yr old did NOT want to sit in her (3yr) sisters lap for a pretty Christmas picture.
Shoulder Ponies
We couldn’t be more excited to see this movie together. Pony power!
First Impressions
You can tell I am super happy about being a big sister. Pretty sure I just realized I would have to share everything.
