It looks like the father is about to beat the crap out of someone, it looks like mom is stuck in a constant state of fear, the son looks like he is repressing a lot and the daughter well…trust no one is probably right. I hope everyone in the family is okay
The mom seems shocked, the father is disappointed in you and everyone on earth, the brother is like “What? You talkin to me?” while the daughter is not approving nor will never trust any of them ever again.
It looks like the photo was snapped right after the photographer said, “Hey. Didn’t you use to have one more child?” Then a silent guilty hush fell on the family.
I think this is definitely a “Freaky Friday” scenario. The dad and son seem to have swapped places – the son being the very earnest “come on, let’s at least TRY to take a decent family photograph for the mantelpiece” parent figure, while the dad is adopting the “I’m FAR too cool to take this seriously, and I am certainly not going to smile or even look vaguely interested” pose of an unruly teenager. The mum has worked this out and is naturally very freaked out, while the daughter has just had about had enough of her dad and brother’s body swapping antics. Very odd yet hilarious photo!
This reminds me of a class photo I saw once. Just as the picture was being taken, someone came through a door behind the photographer, and in the final picture, half the kids are looking in that direction.
Instead of the camera man saying “Say cheese” he went on a 20 second rant about dads mustache right before he snapped the pic. The family is shocked and dad is mad.
Ashley knew who was behind the mirrored glass. The detectives had brought the whole family in to see if they could get to the bottom of the toilet paper incident with the neighbors. Dad was defiant as always saying his kids wouldn’t do that kind of thing. Mom had no clue why someone would waste that much toilet paper by throwing it in trees. Justin of course was interested in one thing only—keeping his squeaky image clean. But not this time. With a subtle bob of her head and a quick glance to the left she gave them the suspect . She was not taking the fall for this one.
this is an awesome! who says the pics are not as “awkward” as they have been. I see the photographer stumbling and everyone losing patience just as the flash goes off.

This rules, must be the family of “Thinking of Me” lady.
This is funny. Wonder what the story is?
The photographer revealed that he wasn’t a Texan.

I would hate to be on the receiving end of those looks!
The mom seems shocked, the father is disappointed in you and everyone on earth, the brother is like “What? You talkin to me?” while the daughter is not approving nor will never trust any of them ever again.
I want to believe.
OMG it’s the little girl’s shifty eyes that are killing me! Haaa!!!
We call ourselves….The Aristocrats!
Mafia family right there…
Mom just wants to know who’s goosing her!

The mom looks like she just remembered that she forgot to turn off the stove..
Was the photographer ever heard from again?
Nope. Funny, though; they were laying a cement foundation next door to the studio…
Seriously, buddy, who the hell are you and why do you keep taking pictures of us?

Can you pick which one is really a ventriloquist’s doll?
dads arms are in the clear
This one screams church pictorial directory. Grandma insisted!
I know this family – knew them when the pic was taken in fact! They are an awesome family! But – yup, it does look like OJ was in the room!
Somebody just told them they are moving to Jersey. yikes !!!
This reminds me of a class photo I saw once. Just as the picture was being taken, someone came through a door behind the photographer, and in the final picture, half the kids are looking in that direction.
It looks like they just found out OJ is their photographer today.
In Soviet Russia, photo takes YOU!
Haha! Yes!
Why does Mom look strangely out of scale?!
I think Dad is actually the one out of scale.
Mom is at least bigger than the son……dad, not so much.
Do they even know each other?? or did they just wander into the studio at the same time?
OMG I was thinking the exact same thing!!!
” You charge HOW much for the portrait????”
This photo represents a fortune in counseling fees.
Instead of the camera man saying “Say cheese” he went on a 20 second rant about dads mustache right before he snapped the pic. The family is shocked and dad is mad.
I can feel the love.
Is this a family photo or a group mugshot?
That is an awesome handlebar mustache. I also like the short sleeve button-down shirt worn with a tie. Very classy, yet casual.
Yes, who wears short sleeves (and a tie) in a family portrait!
Oh YEAH? You and who’s army??
The first father-son duo to join the Geek Squad.

Don,
I was hoping nobody knew the story behind the picture. How did you figure it out?
Love,
Ashley
I am laughing so hard!! Good one!
Fabulous scenario!. I love to read something like this and then scroll back up to the picture and see it fit so perfectly.
Epic ‘stache.
The daughter is throwing some major shade in this one. Talk about side eye!
This family goes into projects with there eyes wide open!
WOW!
Dad is saying “Will you just take the damn picture? I’m missing Baywatch!”
I was thinking “Magnum PI”, from that mustache he is sporting!
With the numbers underneath, this looks like a collective mug shot! “Face front. Turn right.”
Exactly, my first thought was “wow, it really is some type of group mug shot”… LOL
LOL! It looks like the photog accused one of them of peeing in the dressing room! Everyone is completed affronted! Almost everyone… Guilty? Maybe.
Is this family going to be the next Lifetime special event? Just asking……
Actually, I think they’re trying to start their own detective show.
this is an awesome! who says the pics are not as “awkward” as they have been. I see the photographer stumbling and everyone losing patience just as the flash goes off.
DID THEY JUST ENTER THE WITNESS PROTECTION PROGRAM?
SO TRUE!!!!
wouldn’t you like to be a fly on the wall in that household?
It looks like a cement wall. I believe they may be in some kind of family prison.
“We are from former Soviet Republic. Is all you must know. Now shut up.”
Oh, Pierre, you are my hero! Too funny!
Pierre, you just made my day….
heehee! so funny!
you are welcomes. Now please – to shut up. d^_^b
Awesome! And Dad’s hands on his hips adds to the lightheartedness and good nature of the portrait sitting.
My what a mighty tall mom you have!
I’m cracking up because it looks like Dad must be saying “so… er…. what do I do with my hands?”
No, seriously, Diet Doctor Pepper really does taste more like regular Doctor Pepper.
