The kid in the glasses looks exactly like my brother-in-law (who is now 30). I showed this picture to my mother-in-law and she said, “Who is that woman and what is she doing with my son”.
Oh golly, that mom looks *overwhelmed*! I am surprised she is not holding a newborn, cuz it looks like she is not getting any sleep and is holding her eyes open wide by sheer willpower.
Actually his name is not Bryan, it is Josh as I said. Unfortunately there is no cool story to go along with this photo. My mother and brother always have that awkward stare. Neither of them have a thyroid condition or other medical disorder that causes them to stare a hole though everything within their field of vision…I guess they just like to stare. Their staring has actually cause many awkward moments, especially when I would bring home a girl. I would often be told ” I don’t think your mother likes me…she kept staring at me,” which I would reply with ” That’s normal, you’ll get used to it.”
Yeah, the creepy nude lady was right in the line of sight of a four year old kid. That one needed to come off the site. But kudos to that lady for being more awkward than we can handle!

I see dead people.
If looks could kill
OMG I LEFT THE WATER RUNNING IN THE TUB!!!!
This looks like a church directory picture circa 1978. I have seen this same family a few times over.
Yeah, they are the family the wallet people put in your wallet. I have a copy too.
Robomom?
The kids look just like my cousins did when they were little. I actually thought it was them for a moment, but the woman looks nothing like my aunt.
eeeeeeee bright light!!!!

Sue Sylvester has kids??
OMG. Totally DOES look like Sue.
But… but… where’s the track suit?
I know someone who looks just like this from the nose up. A smile changes everything.
“Whew….made it in time for the photographer after dropping off food at Marney’s ….oh. No. THE SERVING SPOON !!” (Camera.. snap)
*for those who don’t know Marney…. type Marney in the search window (top right) & read ‘Thanksgiving Letter’
Mom was just informed that they would be spending Thanksgiving at Marney’s!
WIN!!!!
Oh not, not MARNEY’S FOR THANKSGIVING!! Wonder if she’s one of the ones Marney “couldn’t trust” to bring anything for the dinner?
She’s just very, very alert.
i have four words for you…..deer in the headlights!
Oh golly, that mom looks *overwhelmed*! I am surprised she is not holding a newborn, cuz it looks like she is not getting any sleep and is holding her eyes open wide by sheer willpower.
Mom just remembered she left the third kid at home in the backyard. Don’t you just hate it when that happens?
Some folks are content with just getting their pets stuffed (
“Look at moi! Look at moi!…Now look at the camera!”
Maybe Mom just had her Botox session and in her mind, she’s smiling.
For anyone else in Australia, can you see Kath Day-Knight from Kath & Kim in the Mum? Cause seriously that’s the first person I thought of.
Noice….I am & I do see that.
Where will YOU be when diarrhea strikes?
Good one!
Oh my goodness. I just laughed so hard I scared my kids!! I love it!
“Don’t blink, it will ruin the shot.”
Snapping in 5-4-3-2-1…
….Your fee for this professional photo sitting $239….snap
LOL! I think I had this same expression right after delivering my first born.
Her secret for being fresh, alert, and ready to start the day? About 75 cups of coffee.
Just then, the photographer turned into Barney the Dinosaur.
she just wished the photographer into the cornfield
Looks like she’s seeing a 700-foot Jesus.
I am laughing so hard at that image!
No camera was used to take this picture. She WILLED the image onto the film.
lol lol
“This is the first time I’ve sat down in a week.”
Mom had a little stare down with the camera guy after he used such language in front of her little angels.
WIN!
At least the kids found whatever the photographer did mildly amusing.
I guess saying “Smile!” then dropping your pants isn’t acceptable nowadays.
I think their intergalactic spaceship has come in and they’re fixin’ to board now.
No Stepford Dad in this pic? She looks like she’s blowing some circuits.
Looks like Mom got break alright–a psychotic break.
I am the dorky little kid with glasses in this picture.
Okay Josh …. so tell us. What’s the story behind the pic? Why does your mom look so stunned? (I mean that in a non-judgmental way, of course!)
The kid with glasses is named Bryan.
The mom always looks like that without her glasses. It’s a medical condition relating to vision; I never pried into it more than that.
Actually his name is not Bryan, it is Josh as I said. Unfortunately there is no cool story to go along with this photo. My mother and brother always have that awkward stare. Neither of them have a thyroid condition or other medical disorder that causes them to stare a hole though everything within their field of vision…I guess they just like to stare.

I would often be told ” I don’t think your mother likes me…she kept staring at me,” which I would reply with ” That’s normal, you’ll get used to it.”
If his name is “Josh”, then he, his brother, and his mother look more like Bryan, his brother, and his mother than any two families I’ve ever seen.
Are you the evil twins, or are they?
Maybe these people of which you speak are my family’s dopplegangers. I would love to see a photograph of this family.
this is my friend josh and his family!!!! i love my awkward friends!
Cinnie, I would be willing to bet the legal department called and had that one removed.
Yeah, the creepy nude lady was right in the line of sight of a four year old kid. That one needed to come off the site. But kudos to that lady for being more awkward than we can handle!
Darn!!! Miss looking at this site for a weekend and lose out on some super awkward.
Maybe thats the way she always looks and its normal?! LOL
Wait…..this is the picture she CHOSE?!?! Can you imagine what the rest of the shots looked like?
I’m hoping this was just a proof and not the shot they bought copies of…
What happened to the creepy nude preggo with the kid staring up at her in horror?
Right…Does Awkward Family Photos suddenly have standards?
Yeah WTF why is that one gone. That was crazy awesome inappropriate
I KNOW that look!
♪♪ Cra-azy eyes ::clap clap::…they’re watchin’ you! ::clap clap:: Crazy eeeeyes! They’re watchin’ you, watchin’ you!♪♪
OMG *snickering*
Or:
“She goes running for the shelter of her mother’s little helper; And it helps her on her way, gets her through her busy day….”
ScoutC that is EXACTLY what went through my head when I saw this!!!!
Little Johnny should not have eaten that large bowl of beans….
I think probably the kid in the back just goosed her.
Mom looks like she took something before the portrait session. Poor thing. I’m sure she needed it.
Does anyone else see Kristen Wiig here?
haha I thought that too!
Yep, looks just like her.. too funny! I knew she looked familiar. I think she may have played this character on SNL… LMAO
A break? Looks like she could use a stiff belt and a couple of weeks of ‘vacation’. I recommend the nearest hospital for nervous disorders.
Blue Ribbon winner right here!
Whats so akward about this picure?
akward is pretty awkward!
