The youngest boy looks like the precocious kid in an 80′s sitcom. He would be the one that always knew more than the clueless parents and had lots of “Awwww” moments.
“Ok, here we go…don’t move please…hold that pose….here we…..OH, hold on. Got to try again….shutter was closed…ok….trying again…..hold it….hold it, no moving…..yes…..OH! Didn’t have the flash on…..just a little longer…..no moving…..hold still……..”
As someone pointed out on facebook, the kids are supposed to be forming a “heart” which is probably why they are in pink. However, I think the kid in the middle is suffering from a serious case of heartburn.
Yep, I think that’s why their legs are squeezed together at the bottom to form a “point” and why they’re stacked so oddly at the top. I didn’t say it was a good idea…I just said I think that’s what they’re attempting. And clearly Glasses Brother is much more on board the plan than the other three.
Blond boy on the right: “I know, I know….but they’re my brothers. And they’re way bigger than me.”
Blond girl on left : “Seriously??? We’re really posing like this?? Mom, I thought you were kidding! Let go of my hand – I am SO going to poke him in the eye if he doesn’t loosen that deathgrip on my shoulder….”
I cannot believe anyone has paid good money to have a photographer do this! Or – how can a pro do this in the first place?? The whole composition sucks .. NOTHING works here! Left wondering if this photograph is on display in a home somewhere.
Note that she’s being firmly held in place by her mother and by two of her brothers, one high and one low. If she wasn’t being gripped like that, she’d be out of there in a flash.
The only child thrilled with this set up is the middle brother. The little ones seem to be screaming “are you kidding??” and “OK, I’ve amused you can we move on”. Big brother is “OK, now what”. The parents are oblivious to it all.

Life was always hard for Totemchild.
hahahahha
i know this family. and they’re not even awkward people so i’m surprised this picture is so weird…
2 parents, 2 floating heads, 2 children of the corn. LOVE IT
They have those kids on lockdown. Trapped! Trapped like rats!
Forget the two boy’s heads, look at the little girls evil stare, freaky.
Ha! That’s Glenn Beck! the little boy with the pink shirt! lol Well, favors him anyway!

This has got to be the most awesome family photo ever! Very creative and brings a smile to my face every time I look at it.
Maybe the one kid didn’t have a shirt in a shade of pink or burgundy so they had to hide all but his head?
One big conjoined family.
Are the blond kids twins?
I think this is a creative and cute idea! But yes…..definitely awkward.
The plan for a family totem pole picture broke down when Mom refused to mount the ladder.
“The coupon said ‘ONE FREE FAMILY PORTRAIT’….and I’m determined to get us ALL in on the freebee”
If looks could kill, this photo would never have gotten out.
“if we hide behind here no-one will see we’re wearing pink shirts”
“I ain’t got no nobody……”
LMAO!! I think Chris gets the win for me!
All the mean comments…. did you not see the heading “Awkward Family Photos”?????
Mean? You’re new here, right?
Ha ha, you took the words right out of my mouth! Mean comments?? You aint seen nothing yet Terri. This isn’t mean at all!
“Ok, here we go…don’t move please…hold that pose….here we…..OH, hold on. Got to try again….shutter was closed…ok….trying again…..hold it….hold it, no moving…..yes…..OH! Didn’t have the flash on…..just a little longer…..no moving…..hold still……..”
I love the girl. She’s got that “I’m about to telekinetically set you on fire” look that always makes for great hallway family photo displays.
A week before the surgery to separate the twins.
Because after this, they ran out of creative ways to hide the fact that they were conjoined.
The Walenda family did the exact same pose… except from a tightrope high above a circus audience.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAHAHHAA! so many words yet nothing can be said to equal those priceless expressions!
They cut out Grandpa at the base of the pyramid
Wow. Is it a Valentines picture? Maybe they are trying to make a heart.
As someone pointed out on facebook, the kids are supposed to be forming a “heart” which is probably why they are in pink. However, I think the kid in the middle is suffering from a serious case of heartburn.
The kids are supposed to be forming a heart? So Mom is a lung and Dad is a kidney, or what?

Good one!
Why are they all wearing pink?
That kid in pink is a stud, you know he’s thinking “better them than me!”
They should have quit while they were ahead :/
HAHA!!! nice.
They’ll never be heads of major corporations.
Yeeaaahhh, baby!
Heads up! Awkwardness ahead.
i’m sure this type of photo is ahead of its time!
Whose idea was it to pose like that? Totally ridiculous.

The younger children have inherited some gene that makes them know when they’re in a hopelessly awkward photo.
you know that girl was flipping the bird and that is why the mom is holding her hand.

floating noggins …. funny….
It made me think of “Eye Contact” AFP.
One of those heads doesn’t look happy at all; neither does that little girl!

That middle brother is going to get it good when they get home. Yeah, he’s smiling now, but later…
The little girl even knows that’s messed up!
Yes! And the little boy does too. He looks so apologetic!
the little boy’s expression is perfect. You’re right, he looks apologetic.
Oh My! Imagine the awkward position they had to stand in to achieve that pose.
