The Anniversary Party
“For my parents 20th anniversary, my mom decided to dress up in her wedding dress and get our family Christmas photos done in front of the place they were married. I’m the girl bending over trying to hold down my brother who wanted to get away for obvious reasons. Needless to say, it was not everything my mom had hoped for.”

Surrender
“Our perfect family photo shoot was only a little hampered by my 2 year old granddaughter who decided to throw a complete fit during the sitting. We gave up trying to get her to look good and let her ‘do her own thing.’ She ended up at the bottom of the stairs and we went on without her…so to speak.”

The Letter A
“When I met my year old niece for the first time I thought it would be nice if she and her sister would take pictures with my son. Needless to say that it didn’t go so well. They kept asking if we wanted a re-shoot but these were way too priceless to get rid of.”

Barbie Arm
“We took this picture at a friend’s wedding. It wasn’t until after I posted it and people started making comments about my husband’s ‘Barbie Arm’ did we notice how his arm had ‘shrunk’…”

Break Something
“This is a picture of my breakdancing club. It’s origins are from Bellerose Queens, NY. It’s the late 1980s when breakdancing was a thing. If this doesn’t qualify as awkward IDK what does.”

Big Fish
“Just what every kid recovering from an elbow reconstruction wants: a huge promotional fish from Long John Silvers stopping by with a care package of coloring supplies and I can’t remember what else. The early 90s were a strange time.”

On A Pedestal
“While I was away at college my family had to take a portrait for a church directory, so they took a framed photo of me. It was the photographer’s great idea to put me on a pedestal. Also, my Dad and brother had been fighting over something trivial, my Mom was annoyed, and my youngest brother habitually refused to smile for any picture.”
