Behind The Awkwardness: Big Bad Wolf

I’m the awkward little girl in the front. The wolf was borrowed from the Bell Museum of Natural History and my mom thought it would make a nice subject for a Christmas card. She also included a poem about wolves in the woods in the card as well as this gem. Our dog, Dynamite, was terrified.”

Shear Elegance

“I recently snapped a friend of mine at a shearing competition with his family, The sheep looks a bit dead but its actually got its fleece half shawn off. I think its a timeless snapshot, awkward but enchanting.”

“First, my mom made my brother and me pose together as Joseph and Mary, which was weird for us for obvious reasons. And then, Daisy decided to eat baby Jesus.”

Behind The Awkwardness: Kids

“This is me and my three brothers forced into khakis and yellow pastel shirts and dragged to a portrait studio that featured live goats and bunnies and hay. It should be noted that we were the only people getting our picture taken above the age of three. Also, shortly after this picture was taken one of the goats peed on my brother to the far right.”
