My Favorite Place In Maine
“This is me in 3rd grade. I had used my nana’s hair perming rollers the night before so I would look extra fancy for ‘my favorite place in Maine’ school presentation.”

Potty Mouth
“This picture was taken at my wedding, which took place outdoors and yes, we did have a port-a-potty for our guests. My uncle was the photographer and this was a sign of his “professionalism.”

The Great Mustache Caper
“I asked my dad why he grew it like that he just said that he saw a Led Zeppelin album with old soldiers on it and one of the soldiers had a mustache like that so he just copied them. Needless to say, my mom hated the mustache.”

The Leg Sweepers
“My father insisted that all of us must begin lessons in karate after The Karate Kid came out in the 1980’s. His pride in our accomplishments led to a family photo.”

Trunk Show
“Just me and my dad taking a break from a road trip in the 1970s. Apparently my parents found it convenient to just pop the trunk and prop me in a box while they took a break from driving. I had always heard the story and now I finally have proof.”
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.”
