Gratuitous Childhood Photo : Glamour + Ducks

One time my mom convinced the family to dress up in Victorian clothing and take glamour photos. The morning of the photo shoot, I cried and begged my mom to go without me. Years later I can't help but laugh every time I see the photo that resulted…I mean, this is a face of a girl who, clearly, didn't want to be in front of the camera.

And in case you're wondering, yes, those are stuffed ducks and my sister is holding a basket of fake flowers like she just picked them (obviously found elsewhere from the dry grass we're standing on). These are the moments I look back and think to myself…
1. Thank goodness glamour photography has come a long way since the 90s.
2. MOM, WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?
3. I'm happy I don't work with stuffed ducks.
