Christmas Jazz Hand
“The infamous Christmas photo shoot of 1984. Dad’s short-shorts and high socks highlighted his fashion-forward attitude and athleticism; my sister’s cheerleading perfection revealed her vow to never look bad in any photo- ever, and my single jazz hand stance complete this Awkward Family Christmas Card from over 30 years ago.”

You Get What You Pay For
“So about 5 Years ago I ran an ad on Facebook asking for an inexpensive photographer to come to my house. I had just had a new baby and wanted some photos of the children. He came and it was a mess from the start. Here’s just a few of the many awkward photos I got back from this man. You get what you pay for.”

The Spirit Of Taking
“This is a photo of my younger sister and I on Christmas in 1996. I’m the one with the triumphant look on my face holding the cards and mashing my hand in my sister’s face. I love this picture because it pretty much sums up the relationship I have with my sister. It also tells you a lot about my family… like the fact that my parents took a picture of the situation before pulling me off of my sister.”

Dapper In Denim
“A glorious photo of my partner and his family in 2002 at a church in Gurnee, IL. The reason why all are wearing denim seems to be lost to time.”

“Her eyes were closed for the picture but the company said they could fix that. This “zombie” daughter pic sits on my fireplace!”

Bingo Was Her Name-O
“I’m the smiling kid in the front and my aunt, my grandparents and a cousin are the ones looking at me. We used to play Bingo during the Christmas holidays at my uncle’s home and they were not happy with something I did but I don’t remember why. It must have been something really, really bad judging from their faces.”
