The Price Of Cooperation
“This is a photo of my family. It was quite awkward. My 4 year old brother refused to wear a shirt. My grandmother has a 3×5 foot tapestry of this hanging in her house.”

Gold Digger
“This was at a family reunion about 10 years ago. My mother and I were posing for a picture on my ATV. This was back before everyone had digital cameras so we didn’t realize my relative in the background ‘digging for gold’ until we had the film developed. This picture still makes me laugh to this day. He must have his pinky finger all the way in there…I do give him an A for Effort!
The saying ‘You can pick your friends, but you can’t ‘pick’ your relatives’ rings true.”

Deep In Character
“This past fall, I jokingly pretended I was upset my cousin didn’t give me a part in his wedding. So, out of pity, he assigned me as ‘chauffeur’ and pretended as if it was an important role. I decided to take it more seriously than he had ever dreamed of and not only drove them to their photo shoot, but stuck around…”

Rock N Roll All Night
“This is my sisters family. They really are rockstars and I’m sure they would be honored to join the AFP hall of fame. They were Kiss for Halloween and decided to get a quick family portrait while still in makeup. This picture replaced the Sears studio portrait this year.”

Rando In The Henhouse
“It was a lovely day in my parents garden. I love their hens, so I wanted a picture of one of them together with my best friend. Little did I know some guy was coming up behind us!”

The Drunk Photographer
“This is a photo of my parents and siblings, taken on Mom and Dad’s 50th wedding anniversary. We had a big party for them and had arranged several photo shoots for a family picture. The photographer had arrived somewhat inebriated at our first location, which was an outdoor site, beautifully located in front of a lake. He had really gotten on Mom’s nerves because he was so obviously tipsy and kept egging her on to smile (which wasn’t one of her best assets). The last stop was his studio. Mom was on her last nerve and this is what we got.”
