Awkward Family Photos

My new favorite website …. I’ve put it in my sidebar too.

It’s so funny, I didn’t even feel the need to add my own snarky comments. They were already there! None of these comments are mine.

Little Mister Sunshine … “One armrest away from being completely uncomfortable.”

The Van Helsings … “Takes every girl back to that special moment they got their first crossbow.”

Awkwardian Era … “The straight line of their heads is as if they measured every day until that one PERFECT day when their heights created this delightful 42 degree angle!”

Bon Family Blowout … “They’re back… and this time, they’re relaxed.”

Mommy-the-Pooh … “Some people go to AA meetings. These guys go to AA Milne meetings.”

He’s Having a Baby … “Proof that a man can be too supportive.”

This last one is particularly funny — albeit really REALLY creepy — because we are scheduled soon for our own family portrait. I was having trouble coming up with just the right “clothing theme” because we’ve done red, we’ve done denim, we’ve done sweaters, we’ve done the red/gray/black theme … and everyone does the black t-shirt/jeans/barefoot look. Plus, whatever we decide probably involves shopping for at least two of us.

So I told my son, “We could always do naked. We already have that and nobody else does it.”

When he finished his full-body shimmy to rid himself of the grossness his ears just encountered, he pointed to the wall of the photographer’s studio. Naked portrait of two adults. And then I saw this one.

Who knew the job of a studio photographer was fraught with retina-damaging peril?!

Favorite? But more importantly, do you have any awkward family photos of your own???

    Becky, I have complete, absolute, total utter trust that you will find a suitable theme for your group portrait, one that will not involve too much shopping and will only minimally damage the photographer’s retinas.

  2. How about our family portrait where you were the only grumpy one?

    • Victoria … I’ve thought about it and I think we’re going naked. Seems to be all the rage. Or creates rage, at least.

      And Donna … Any family portrait I’m in could never be awkward … only deliciously adorable! (And I’m fairly certain I’ve never been grumpy. Unless you were pinching me.)
