My kids are adorable, and I don't think I'm just one of those biased parents (even though I totally am). She's gorgeous, he's handsome, they are picture perfect. So, imagine our surprise when we get this for a school picture.
What the fuck?
Seriously,
photographer...I am no professional but there is no way you looked
through the lens and said OH YEAH, this one is a keeper! If you can't do
something dumb or crazy enough to get a smile out of both of them at
least ask someone to tidy up her hair or push her bangs to the side so
she doesn't look like she just rolled out of bed. And maybe, just maybe, see if you can get the little guy not to smile like he just ate a jalapeno, or a green bean.
This
hideous school photo is worthy of a submission to Awkward Family Photos, but I feel like I need to wait till they're 18 and can truly
appreciate the beauty of it all. I KNOW they were cuter than this when I
sent them out the door, and I KNOW it's going to make for some equally
awkward embarrass-their-first-date moments down the road. Hilarious.
Side Note...can you believe how BIG both of them look?! What a difference 2 years (and a good photographer) makes. Spend the money, people. Spend the money. And don't put your bald-ish daughter in a ridiculous knit cap with a fake flower barrette because that's almost as dumb.
