Gathering the whole family together for a great family portrait has a way of inviting unexpected mishaps. What else could make that family photo extra odd and awkwarder? Including animals in the mix is a given! After all, they are a part of the family!
Check out the incredibly awkward family photos that were made more stranger (and funnier!) by the addition of a few furry, feathered, or scaly friends.
#1 Stop Horsing Around and Take the Picture!
Sometimes the best moments are the unguarded ones! Despite the fact that this family adores both their horses and dogs, neither of them enjoys having their pictures taken.
#2 Dear Prudence…
Oh no, that certainly doesn’t seem right.
Awkward Family Photos claims:
“Our family brought Prudence, our puppy, to the neighborhood portrait shop. My dad, who adored her dearly, thought of her as a member of the family and wanted her to be in the picture as a result. Prudence wouldn’t stay still as we stood for the photo, so my Dad had to cross himself on the bench to hold her still. Truth be told, we didn’t notice the strangeness of the photo hanging in our home for years until a close friend did.
#3 Beam me up, Scotty!
What a cool image it would be if the dog was a Scottish Terrier. There was a chance lost there.
#4 This Dog Is Very Excited
Wow, look how happy the dog is to be in the photo. Like, truly ecstatic.
Inconvenient Family Photos:
We took a lot of family pictures at the beach last summer. My husband’s step-mom gave us this one as a Christmas present, having it blown up and reproduced on canvas. There was a pleasant surprise when we opened the photo. She had been unaware.
#5 “Fun” Is One Word for It
“Include the dog in your picture,” they said.
“It’ll be fun!” They said.
#6 Cats: Not Caring for Centuries
This picture and the description, “Going through some old family photos when I found this,” were uploaded on Reddit by user CallMeBigWolf.
It merely serves to demonstrate that historically speaking, cats have never shown even the slightest concern.
#7 Some PURR-fectly Placed Pets
So, uh. This happened.
In related news, I just remembered I need to get something out of my car.

#8 Oh My Gourd
Here we see Maude posing with her two most prized possessions.
#8 Who’s a Good Boy?
Hey doggie, do you need assistance? blink twice for yes, once for no.
#10 “Lemme at Him!”
Next time, maybe Junior here will think twice before stuffing his pockets with bacon before the photo shoot.
#11 “Screw you, hoomans! I’m outta here!”
This cat is not having ANY of this picture-taking nonsense!
#12 Ah, Memories
Nothing says “good family times” like a good old fashioned dog bite.
This picture would fit in perfectly with these other family portraits that went hilariously wrong.
#13 Forget the Corsage, I’ve Got a Chicken
This prom photo is fairly uninteresting in the grand scheme of things.
But even so, girls: Really? Really?
#14 Surrounded by Furry Love
These two take their pets. and their awkward family portraits, very seriously.
#15 Feeling Cone-ected
If you can’t beat ’em, join ’em. Looks like true familial love is contagious.
#16 Looks like Dad Got into Photoshop
