wow….really? what in the hell made them think that this would be a good picture…it’s preverse and weird, like a family from the hills that marry their brothers and sisters…
This is definitely photoshop…. it looks to me like they were all posed on horses originally, the way that their legs are positioned. Funny as hell though, even it it is fake
honestly.. why all the hate? look how natural this is for them. the gentle feel of this photo will stay with me forever. and if i ever have children i would certainly consider hiring this photographer to shoot our family portrait!
great photo if it weren’t a fake. look at the position of the mother’s left foot. Just how long is her left leg? Why is her left foot larger than her right, when her right foot is closer? Why are their ankles together when they have their legs wrapped abount that big log. In order to hold their legs like that the limb would have to be razor thin…and THAT would be awkward.
Heh. I really like the force field between Mom-Son#1, and Son#1-Son #2. You’d think that whoever was pointing the camera would say, “Hey, this isn’t going to work.” But then, I’m glad they didn’t.
This goes for every pic on this site but especially this one… My son would kill me with his bare hands before ever subjecting himself to such family torture. This is why we have no professional family photos. I want to get some for his gradutation but won’t even bother trying. But a family human pyramid would be awesome.
Look at them all trying not to smile so big. They totally get it. “A family that plays together stays together, hee hee.” “Shhh. Guys, think ‘Christmas card’, okay?”
Hey, you’re right! The shadowcasting iddn’t quite right. Photoshop trickery! Perhaps they posed singly, and then some diabolical Photoshopper stacked them on that limb. Or maybe they were straddling something else entirely… a tank turret?
I understand how you might perceive this as being fake, but it’s just your eyes playing tricks on you. Look very very closely at mum’s left foot and you can see there’s something in the background with a very similar hue, although slightly more red, that makes it look like her thigh bone is 3 ft long. It’s not. As for the thickness of the log… Well, it looks about 10 inches thick. Not the widest ever. Plus the photo is clearly a bit stretched vertically.
And another thing: Does it really seem likely that someone put time and effort into making a montage of a family straddling a fallic branch? It’s a giggle, not the greatest joke ever.
Check around for a photographer who specializes in natural, candid shots. You have your posed shots and your more candid shots that can look fantastic. There are already going to be tons of photographers at the graduation anyway, one more on your side, he won’t even notice. Good Luck.
As for the photo, first, whoever came up with the concept of “family Tree” in this manner needs to be shot, second, this is beyond akward and third, what family in their right mind would agree to something like this? OMG!

They all look oddly comfortable straddling a big fat piece of wood.
wow….really? what in the hell made them think that this would be a good picture…it’s preverse and weird, like a family from the hills that marry their brothers and sisters…
They left them up there when the shoot was over.
This family tree grows strange fruit!
dads just giving the family a ride, like the good old days
Gives “Got a Woody” a WHOLE new meaning. Excuse me my theorapist is in DIRE need of my attention after viewing this!?!?!?!
Genius! It’s like they are trying to get posted on this site. If I was a photographer, I would totally do this to people.
Does anyone else get the feeling this photo is part of their family friendly tv show intro?
I just peed my pants! ROFLMAO!
My favorite!!! Looks like something stupid my family would do, all the while thinking how cool it would look.
The only thing more hilarious than this photo is the idea of them trying to get up in that tree! This seriously tickles me!!
Freud would have had a field day with this one…
Let me guess…this is the Johnson family?
Mom and Dad and kids, sittin’ in a tree. K-I-S-S-I-N-G.
This family tree has but one branch.
Any photographer who does this genre should be beaten.
NO no no no no!! Dear God make it stop!
There was some awkward shifting immediately prior to this photo being taken.
The old folks look like their hips are being cleaved in two.
This is definitely photoshop…. it looks to me like they were all posed on horses originally, the way that their legs are positioned. Funny as hell though, even it it is fake
This is all very Ken Russell. Liszt-o-mania!!!!!!
Mom’s huge smile just says it all!
*sigh* I guess they all just enjoy having something hard between their legs…..
Ride that wood baby!!!!!
The kid on the right. Wow.
Man, white people are so weird.
honestly.. why all the hate? look how natural this is for them. the gentle feel of this photo will stay with me forever. and if i ever have children i would certainly consider hiring this photographer to shoot our family portrait!
log rides are a wholesome family activity
The fact that this is fake is kind of even more disturbing, because if it was professional, it leaves one to wonder.
1) what DID they pose on
and
2) WTF were they thinking
sorry son #2, but you got mom’s small hands. you know what they say about small hands…
great photo if it weren’t a fake. look at the position of the mother’s left foot. Just how long is her left leg? Why is her left foot larger than her right, when her right foot is closer? Why are their ankles together when they have their legs wrapped abount that big log. In order to hold their legs like that the limb would have to be razor thin…and THAT would be awkward.
Ok, I can see how this photo would inspire an entire website about awkward family photos.
I cant imagine the testicle pain and discomfort. This photographer has to be from Idaho.
HaHaHa funny pic and definitely awkward in that its a FAKE. Look at the back of moms knee and her ankles
Heh. I really like the force field between Mom-Son#1, and Son#1-Son #2. You’d think that whoever was pointing the camera would say, “Hey, this isn’t going to work.” But then, I’m glad they didn’t.
What instruction do you get from a photographer on a shot like this?!!
This goes for every pic on this site but especially this one… My son would kill me with his bare hands before ever subjecting himself to such family torture.

wonkward @ 11:33, it’s because he doesn’t want to accidentally lean into his mother’s breasts…
Look at them all trying not to smile so big. They totally get it. “A family that plays together stays together, hee hee.” “Shhh. Guys, think ‘Christmas card’, okay?”
Un-effing-believable
I wonder if this is hanging up in their living room, nicely framed?
Dad’s on the bottom, you gotta wonder why? Oh wait never mind.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Nice posture!
We’ve got wood.
i bet the tree felt violated
A family that wears highwaters together, stays awkward together….
…or something like that.
The son second from the right is sitting awkwardly erect.
I sort of want to see the photographic evidence of them getting actually into that position.
I don’t even wanna know whose idea that was…
“I don’t know… something just feels so natural”
Just the idea that they all thought this would make a cool picture. lol
Brings all new meaning to family tree. WOAH!
Favorite!
He is doing so to keep his back off his mom’s boobs.
Looks like her thumb might be somewhere it shouldn’t. Hope she washes her hands after the picture was taken.
cause he bumped into his brother. look how happy his brother is about it
He’s adopted. That’s why his pants are a different color.

I know I feel violated
lmfao!
LMAO
Bingo
oh ya. you’re right. first pic. this one started it all
Same here. It’s like some kind of cowboy thing.
(That could also explain why they’re all sitting so awkwardly, if they posed separately).
Lays even.
Defiantly? Or definitely?
You hit the nail on the head! The dad must be Cletus Daltrey, whose grandpappy emigrated before rock and roll was invented.
