Denim Days
“Every year my mother wanted a nice family photo and this time around she chose our outfits. Matching jean dresses for my sister and I, jean dress for her (with that awesome big hair that she permed) and a jean shirt for my dad. (Plus I don’t know where we are all looking…but it wasn’t at the camera.) This is in honor of my mother who passed in 2015 from Melanoma.”

The Freebie
“My buddy Josh and his older sister and brother when they were little. Apparently when the photographer saw all the prints from the photo shoot, he gave this one to his mom for free because it’s just so hilarious. He would hide it from me when I went to his house because I would cry from laughing at it so much.”

Code Pink
“In 1990, I was in the Marine Corps and our family only had a few days together. We wanted to “remember” this date. Mission accomplished! As we walked across the parking lot towards the portrait studio, people laughed, right out loud! Now THERE was a clue!”

The Lurkers
“This is my sister’s wedding in 1980. The photographer posed her so that she is looking at her bouquet and my parents are looming in the background seemingly very unhappy about the situation.”

The Pillow Pad
“I am the one bent over with a pillow duct taped to his butt. The girl in the background is my sister. Yeah, so that pretty much sums it up!”

Height Doesn’t Matter
“My sister-in-laws were so proud of their tall snowman! Looks like they used every bit of snow in the process! I died laughing when I found this gem.”
