Call Waiting
“My sister was in hard labor for over 24 hours. I just found out she was getting ready to have a C section. So I was on the horn letting everyone know I was able to go in and watch.”

Choked Up
“This is an outtake from a family photo we had taken in the late 80s. My brother must’ve been doing something bratty, of course, but it made for a hilarious outtake and my favorite one from the entire day. This was taken in our house in front of a quilt my mom made… classy background, huh?!”

Dashing Through The Snow
“Our first family photo with our son and my wife wanted to have Christmas photos taken to send out to the family. I put on a smile, but I have always HATED this photo as we looked like giants in this teeny little sleigh.”

Man In The Mirror
“I took this picture of my brother showing off a fish he caught. I did not realize my boyfriend could be seen in the mirror. Although he looks like he’s not wearing any clothes, he has a pair of tighty-whities on…I think.”

MS Paint
“This is a picture of me (in the front) and my family. It was originally taken without my dad, as he was always off being a pilot somewhere. My parents were having problems at the time, and so, in wanting a complete family photo, my mother added my dad – cut out from another picture – to it. In that one, his head was 3x larger than ours, facing the wrong way, and his shirt had been marked in with a sharpie marker. When my parents stopped having problems, she changed the photo of him to the one now there. This was also the time that my mom discovered MS Paint. She thought my sister was being disrespectful by wearing an Arachnophobia shirt, so using her paint skills, she whited it out. She printed this gem and put it up in our family home, where it remained on the wall for over ten years.”

Clowning Around
“This is a pic of my husband and his family. My mother in law is obsessed with clowns. Her house is covered in them. This year they were even included in the family pic.”

Shirts & Skins
“My Wedding: August of 2004. In what has become known as a “family” thing, men from his side shed clothes as the night goes on. This is me and my husband’s Uncle about halfway through our reception at a local restaurant/bar.”
