Soap Opera
“This photo was taken as I was finishing my 1/2 marathon. The entire race it rained and apparently my pants didn’t have all the laundry soap washed out completely – so they made soap suds the entire race. Very awkward to say the least.”

The Promotion
“‘I didn’t ask for this,’ said our very stubborn 2.5 year old. He had the same expression in every photo from the session.”

Checkmate
“I have a thousand awkward pics, being 1 of 7 kids, but our 1996 dance pictures take the cake. My oldest siblings were too old to join us. Not sure if that’s a blessing for them, or a major missed opportunity” – IG @charlotte_stumtimes
Stay Golden
“I used to watch The Golden Girls a lot. When we showed up for pics at Glamor Shots, my mama let me pick one of the outfits. Blanche Devereaux would be so proud.”

On the way Mom got pulled over for having a broken tail light. Needless to say by the time we got there everyone was already over it. Those dresses were hot and itchy, and even time our photographer was ready to shoot, someone started crying or had to go to the bathroom. I’m the one on the far right with the face. I still make that face to this day when irritated!”

Garden Party
“I am the baby on the grass here. And contrary to what it looks like, I was sleeping. Mom had brought me home from the hospital in Mobile, Alabama back in 1967 (the only girl) and Dad wanted to get us all in a photo. Dad staged that ghastly floral placement but he ended up owning a very successful landscaping company for over three decades so he CLEARLY stepped up his game.”
