Good family photos are hard to capture. Between the kids crying, the parents yelling at the kids to stop crying, and the kids crying even harder because everyone's yelling, it can be a bit of a sh*t show. Truthfully, every family has some moments they've caught on film that are too cringeworthy to revisit, but now, thanks to Instagram account Awkward Family Photos, you can submit them and have them remembered forever. Here are some of the funniest and awkward family photos that we saw.

You're probably all familiar with 'Instagram VS reality'; the concept that things are never as Instagram perfect behind the scenes as they appear in the finished product. Well, this isn't just something that influencers suffer from. Babies also have a hard time living up to the Pinterest-esque photoshoot ideas that their parents had in mind for them. After all, it's not easy telling a newborn baby to give their best duck face! Check out these hilarious but adorable baby photoshoot fails, and don't tell me your heard isn't melting.

There's bad photoshops and then there are these. Honestly, we know that people like to get a little bit creative with their wedding photos but these take bad photoshop to a whole new level. Who knew there was a need to make it look like your new bride can fit into your pocket? Or, that it's cool to look like you're floating on a giant swan into your wedding? The Russians, apparently. Yeah, we're also speechless, but enjoy scrolling though for a good laugh! 

The photos of a dad who took part in a mermaid photoshoot with his eight-year-old daughter for her birthday have gone viral, capturing the hearts of everyone who saw them. Donned in pink and purple costumes - including mermaid tails - the pair looked like the best time creating the special memories for the little girl's birthday. Dad goals much?

Desirae Deal, the photographer who captured the event said, "I had the honor of doing a mermaid session for this sweet girl's 8th birthday, and all she wanted was for her Dad to join in on the fun. Let me tell you he did NOT disappoint! The laughs, the joy, and the memories they created were the absolute best gift he could've gave her. I have no doubt that this story, this priceless memory, will be talked about and cherished for generations to come. Take the pictures. Play with them every chance you get, for they are only little for so long." Check out the precious pictures below!
