There are so many things that can be said about this picture, but considering that it’s a “friendly place” I think I’d better just say it’s definitely awkward.
There was a photo a while back which led to discussion about whether one of the people was hiding a compound bow behind their back. And another one where all parties (in a wedding photo) were brandishing guns. It’s a kind of running gag.
I’d love to be a fly on the wall if junior ever found this photo and asked mom and dad to explain what precisely they were thinking when they had this taken.
What is up with all the nekked studio portraits? Generally, people have pics taken to display in their home or share with family and friends. Where do you hang the “tastefully disrobed” pictures?
Yes, I think you are. I’m getting the feeling that a lot of these comments come from rather young people who haven’t yet gotten over the giggliness of nakedness and parental sex, etc.
Really? Because I am neither young nor a prude and I AM a mother and find this picture both awkward and obnoxious. A naked pregnant woman’s body is a beautiful thing… showing us how she got that way in the first place is NOT!
I am so over the “giggliness” of nakedness & sex, but there is NOTHING good about this pic. I hope the people have it locked away in a book that only they, and all of the internet, are allowed to see.
If you can’t giggle over nakedness, you’re too old. & there is NOTHING to giggle about with parental sex, it will always be icky, no matter how old you are.
- have a lot of crunchy friends who would think that was *gorgeous* but to me. I just wonder how she talked him into that. I know pregnant women get some crzy ideas, but I can’t even imagine how you convince your spouse to do this.
There was some picture of a family with compound bows and some noob keeps trying to force the “meme” by making references to it in every single picture. Don’t worry about it. But if you want to see the original it was called something like “the helsings”; just go back through the blog.
I put it to you that compound bow jokes can be funny. It’s just that the majority of people think that just saying “compound bow” will make people laugh. I do wish that they’d realise that this is not the case.
Oy is a liberal. You are anti-gun and compound bows! What do we fight with butter knifes? I mean come on dude, we need compound bows! Hail to the compound bows!!

Wow, this gives a whole new meaning to “sex education.”
I guess his concept of “child support” is to be buck nekkid and hold up his wife’s belly from behind.
Ladies and Gentlemen – the modern man
I can see why she’s naked (to show off her new preggo body) but why on earth is HE naked?
What on earth were they thinking? I don’t even think this photo has any artistic merit (a little soft focus treatment would have been nice).
If I ever saw a picture of my parents like this, I would puke. And maybe faint too.
I meant *a little more soft focus* – lol
Holy Bejebus…
But but but why did they both have to be naked? I’m so confused.
It’s just so awkward…
whats wrong with this picture i think it’s sweet
He looks like Anthony Edwards (I think that’s his name) from ER. Which makes this, of course, even more awkward.
P.S. “Crunchy” = granola (Birkenstocks with socks, earnest love of folk music, quiet muted voices)
Playboy, family edition. Am I the only one who has this edition??
Ha, that is pretty funny!
There are so many things that can be said about this picture, but considering that it’s a “friendly place” I think I’d better just say it’s definitely awkward.
This one wins the gold medal in the awkward olympics… cannot stop laughing…awkwardly.
ohhhh, you’re right, there SHOULD be an Awkard Olympics every year…
hello, there Mr. Moderator, are you listening????
Not your average Christmas card!
This one gives “Happy’s Mother Day!” a run for its money.
What’s really awkward is people who are afraid of nudity. I think it’s a rather endearing photograph.
I don’t think “afraid” is the right word. Rather, we’d like certain things to be left to the imagination!
We’re not afraid of nudity.
We’re afraid of things that are incredibly tacky.
what the hell is a compound bow!!! and why does someone keep making references to it! perhaps it wouldn’t be so dang annoying if i understood…
There was a photo a while back which led to discussion about whether one of the people was hiding a compound bow behind their back. And another one where all parties (in a wedding photo) were brandishing guns. It’s a kind of running gag.
These are compound bows:

What is a meme?
Her skin does look great…nuthin like the ol’ preggo glow.
It’s called airbrushing.
I think it’s kind of sweet– wholesome nudity.
WHATTTTTTTTTTTTTT
I’d love to be a fly on the wall if junior ever found this photo and asked mom and dad to explain what precisely they were thinking when they had this taken.
Is that a crossbow or are you just happy to see me?
Actually, no…it’s a compound bow. And I am also happy to see you.
Beyond awkward.
Why do people have to be so flamboyant?
exhibitionism
Well that’s one way to shut the mother in law up!!
Ha! ^_^
Are they trying to show us how she got pregnant????
He’d need to be facing her for that to happen, Jen.
Not necessarily…
You are too funny. Get a book, some of them have pictures.
The guy looks kind of like Tim Mcgraw! Besides the fact that Tim Mcgraw wears clothes.
I was thinking that too…
i dig it, it’s John and Yoko meet American Suburbia.
Yes! A new desktop background!
OK, I just choked on a laugh when I read your comment!
What? I’m serious.
At least he’s the kind of hippy that has the decency to do a full body wax.
i’m a little embarrassed to admit that i noticed that too….
is this a standard package at olan mills? the “strip naked and hold your pregnant wife’s belly” package?
and by “package”, i mean “bundle of pictures” not his, you know, “package”.
What is up with all the nekked studio portraits? Generally, people have pics taken to display in their home or share with family and friends. Where do you hang the “tastefully disrobed” pictures?
Maybe I am just a prude.
Ya hang ‘em in the bathroom, tee. As a reminder, of course.
Yes, I think you are. I’m getting the feeling that a lot of these comments come from rather young people who haven’t yet gotten over the giggliness of nakedness and parental sex, etc.
no, we “young people” understand the beauty of pregnancy… but this photo is incredibly awkward.
Really? Because I am neither young nor a prude and I AM a mother and find this picture both awkward and obnoxious. A naked pregnant woman’s body is a beautiful thing… showing us how she got that way in the first place is NOT!

WOW, what an amazing photo! Amazingly AWKWARD!
Strange way to attend a Lamaze class
E-larious
There are so many hands and arms everywhere you can’t really even see her belly!
Well Timmy when a mommy and a daddy love each other they…oh wait, we have pictures.
my thoughts exactly!
- have a lot of crunchy friends who would think that was *gorgeous* but to me. I just wonder how she talked him into that. I know pregnant women get some crzy ideas, but I can’t even imagine how you convince your spouse to do this.
who said she talked him into this, maybe he wanted to do it??
Agreed. He doesn’t look like someone who was talked into it. In fact, he doesn’t look uncomfortable at all, lol
also, what is a crunchy friend? sounds uncomfortable . . .
and awkward.
Guys don’t have to be “talked into” anything that allows them to touch a naked woman. It’s in our genes.
Sooooooo true.
I wonder if this is the pic they are sending out with their christmas cards?
That’s not how you get pregnant…
Actually…
it could be.
brooke,
you make a very good point.
Oh NO! This is the most awkward photo EVER.
I love this site.
What are they looking at?
They´re looking at the caption.
Wow, they are!
They were looking at the COMPOUND bow!
Shut up already with the compound bow!!!
COMPOUND BOW….COMPOUND BOW…SWING!
Selena I like you! And Susan you are pretty cool too!!! Yea for the compound bows!!!
this site just reached a whole new realm of awkward
what is this compound bow everyone is talking about?
There was some picture of a family with compound bows and some noob keeps trying to force the “meme” by making references to it in every single picture. Don’t worry about it. But if you want to see the original it was called something like “the helsings”; just go back through the blog.
Go see the “Van Helsings” family picture for more info
Isn’t how she got pregnant in the first place?
HA!
Wow, for a second I thought I left the comment…Kc’s think alike I guess.
So funny, I’m “KC” too! I was really confused. We’re awesome!
Sup GUYS!
do i count?
i wanna have a cool name
I hope this doesn’t give their kid the wrong idea on how babies are made.
OMG that’s great!
LOL
enough with the cross bow compound bow references sheesh
second it.
That’s the point I was trying to make
Nah, it’s kinda funny.. it’s his thing..
I’m afraid the compound bow jokes are ruining this blog. Well, the comments section at least.
I LOVE the compound/cross bow jokes.

Or if you’ve been hooked on “cake wrecks”
maybe this is “falker satherhood”
halexa is my hero for combining my two favorite sites with an awesome reference!
oh….
Insert lame cross bow / sexual inudendo here.
tchoh! *COMPOUND* bow! XD
I put it to you that compound bow jokes can be funny. It’s just that the majority of people think that just saying “compound bow” will make people laugh. I do wish that they’d realise that this is not the case.
Heartily agreed. A meme is naturally funny in context – a forced meme is just pathetic.
But back on-topic, I can see how this photo might have been somewhat touching (to the right personality type), but the side-bum ruins it.
Every compound bow reference since that picture has been forced.
disagree. and doubt you’ve read them all.
Oy is a liberal. You are anti-gun and compound bows! What do we fight with butter knifes? I mean come on dude, we need compound bows! Hail to the compound bows!!
xDDD Thats so funny cause it looks like a teacher from my school
HILARIOUSLY AWKWARD PICTURE!!! ROTFLMAO
Really??!! Really???
I think, technically, that’s FIVE questions…LOL
