Twins
“I thought it would be so cute to have my daughters picture made with her twin doll. Let’s just say she hates the doll, the gowns, and the picture. I terrified my child.”

Collage Education
“In the 1980s families purchased these picture collages. We have two full sets and it seems matching fisherman knit sweaters and perms were required for our photoshoots.”

Mermaids In Front
“This photo was taken on an Easter trip to Florida in April 1971, where we visited the Weeki Wachee Springs and saw the Mermaid Show, which I loved. I think our dad had my younger sister and me pose with these ‘mermaids’ in order to have an excuse to take a picture of the women.'”
