Nothing as awesome as that but i definitely had the rug type blanket that laid across these boxes and laid across the boxes and did the face in hands pose with a smile.


Little gee shite all over their carpet and moms was so embarrassed she bought the pics and ran. To this day there’s a pic of me hanging on her wall in a puddle of shite on a shag carpet.

True story. I knew someone that worked for olan mills in the ninety's. Said he took a large family portrait with a large group and grandma in a wheelchair in the middle. He asked grandma to sit up a little cause she was slouching. Somebody said that she couldn't because she died the day before. Just wanted to get one last family picture with her. Honest to God true story.

We never did with a giant pack of Marlboros, but my mom had a friend that worked at the local Olan Mills and we regularly took family photos in the 90s

The corniest one I can remember is all 5 of us wearing denim shirts and jeans, straight denim on denim

And my dad loved the family cat (which was so fat it weighed 32 lbs) so much that he brought him to the studio to be in the picture with us and made the whole family rearrange so the cat could be sitting on his lap in the picture, instead of having his arms around his kids

It was incredible in such a "90s family" cheesy way

If I had my 80’s pics from my family I would post them

That would be a great thread.

Maybe I am just in a laughing mood today, but some of these are killing me.
