Furries
“Since it was one of our first “Major” holidays as a family, my mother decided it was a brilliant idea to take as many family photos as possible. Naturally, we all had to match. Sure, we have the good ones where my step dad here is actually wearing a shirt… but he doesn’t have a fur vest like the rest of us. Someone had the idea for him to wear *his* fur vest, and thus this picture was born, which includes me laughing with tears in my eyes. Believe it or not there is a huge portrait of this on a wrapped canvas above my mother’s bed to this day.”

Writing On The Wall
“I’m the dude. This was from our engagement session. That graffiti was too perfect to not do a prom pose in front of it.”

Proof
“We found a photo of my mom and her brothers. They took this photo, in a rush, to surprise my grandparents for their 25th anniversary. Needless to say, they decided not to order the proofs.”

An American Tail
“Family fun at Chuck E. Cheese’s for my birthday. As a parent myself, I find this photo highly disturbing, and causes me to question my entire childhood. I mean, what kind of parent allows their daughter to wear socks with sandals?!”

The Bare Necessities
“So my mum had seen these ‘naked family’ style of photos and she really really loved them. So off we went to the photographer to get our own nudie masterpiece done! Strangely enough, the photographer had absolutely no idea what mum meant so we ended up with this awkward as, seemingly naked family photo.”
