Taking family photos isn’t always easy. If it’s a group photo, it can prove difficult to organize everyone in an efficient manner. For a candid shot, it’s easy to see how that approach might go wrong. These people all shared some of the family photos they say they’ll never forget and we can’t stop laughing.
Celebrating the News
We all mark big milestones in our own ways. Maybe you prefer to catch a video of an event while someone else grabs a moment. This person got rather creative.
They explained that they had a specific outfit they would wear when something big happened. It just so happened that the outfit they fell back on was a clown costume. It definitely made for some interesting photos from when their younger brother was born!
Come Back!
If there’s one setting that’s almost always sure to come with quite a few chaotic family photos, it’s going to see Santa Claus at a local event. It was sure not to be a visit to Bass Pro Shops like any other.
It seems like this child just didn’t want to sit with a stranger rather than their mom — can you blame them? It’s hard to pin down what’s the funniest thing in this photo. Is it the mom sprinting away? One child staying in a pose? Is Santa ignoring the whole thing?
School Photos
School photos can really be hit or miss. Plenty of people have photos they look back on and wonder just what anyone was thinking when the photo was snapped. This person had a few questions about this school photo.
While they were only 11 years old in this photo, they also pointed out they could have passed 55 years old with this photo. It could be worse but we can see how they might find the style a little dated in the early ’90s.
They Want to Join
It’s not easy to get everyone in one place for one big family photo. For a minute, it seemed like this family managed to do the impossible! To their credit, the family seems like they were ready for the photo for the most part.
Still, pets are a part of the family, too, and they want to be involved! We’re not sure this family was hoping for a canine wrestling match when they took a second look at this picture.
She Needs Some Rest
Having a lot of children takes a lot of energy. Once those kids have their own kids, though, you’ll have a lot of grandkids around.
Even if you’re used to a large family, thirteen grandkids running around would use up a lot of energy. This grandmother was still trying to have fun when all the excitement of Christmas got to her. The result was a puzzle being turned into a pillow.
Oh, Okay
As a parent or a grandparent, you usually want to grab plenty of cute snapshots of the newest members of your family. Some are a little frightening, though.
This expression is already a little unsettling before you notice this toddler is enjoying a copy of The Exorcist. The person who shared this photo said they received it from their mom after a night of babysitting. It’d definitely catch us off guard, to say the least.
Good Effort
There was a time it was popular to head to a local photo studio when you needed a professional family portrait. That’s what this family had in mind.
After all, what’s a better gift for Mom for Christmas than that family photo she’s been wanting? Well, almost the family photo she’s been wanting. The only problem is that these siblings may have forgotten to show their smiles when the camera flash went off.
What Is She Planning?
There are some moments you want to get on camera forever. Siblings meeting for the first time is a huge milestone for everyone involved and parents probably want that for posterity or to show them one day.
These parents decided they needed a picture of the two. While the smile here was likely conveying excitement, the person who was the baby in this photo couldn’t help but notice how sinister their older sibling seemed in this pose.
Pretty Sure We Know Who’s Guilty
There are some things your phone simply won’t withstand. You can’t really expect your phone to work after being flushed down a toilet. Luckily for these parents, the phone was at least intact enough to get the pictures off their phones.
While they may have been hoping to save some baby photos, they found one baby photo they weren’t expecting. It seems pretty clear which one of their kids was behind the phone’s disappearance.
