Jesse’s Protest
“My Mom bought a family portrait for a school fundraiser. My little brother, Jesse, refused to cooperate, so finally my Mom told him he could just turn around. Sixteen-year-old me is in the tie-dye, wishing this was not my family.”

Cellular
“My dad Larry opened one of the first cell phone stores in Houston Texas and was known as “the cell phone kingpin.” I wish you could have seen the commercial that ran with him on a unicycle.”

“We were standing waiting for the pictures to be taking – all of us doing whatever. My husband was taking the pictures and he was testing the shot. Could not have posed this one if we tried.”

Channel 9
“This is me at approximately 4 years old, in 1988. My brother came across this gem during a move. I sent this to my dad, asking if he remembered taking this picture, since he was the main picture-taker in our family. His response was, ‘Oh I did! You look so pretty and cute!'”

The Christening
“This was my Christening, June 1971. I’m the baby obviously, my Godmother is holding me, my parents are next to her. Their hideous outfits aren’t the “awkward” part of this photo. In the background, my grandmother is pulling my sister’s hair while my brother is recovering from a smack! All of this right on the front steps of a church.”
