Your childhood called—it wants a comeback (and it might be a little awkward)

Let’s recreate the magic of those cringy, endearing, “only Mom hung onto this print” family portraits. You bring the vibe (the mismatched outfits, the unexpected poses, the weird props). I’ll bring the backdrop, camera, and playful direction.

This isn’t a polished, lifestyle shoot. This is Awkward Family Photos – intentionally weird, delightfully imperfect, and full of personality.

Whether you come solo, as a couple, or bring the whole chaos of the family, we’ll lean into the funny, the strange, the “what were we thinking?” moments.

Think back to the days of matching outfits, stiff smiles, and that murky studio backdrop. That’s exactly what we’re embracing – and making it charming.

What’s Missing from Modern Portraits?

Modern portraits are gorgeous – but safe.

Where’s the laughter when things go wrong?
Where are the awkward poses, the weird face someone made, the matching sweaters, the “why am I doing this?” expressions?

Those old studio photos weren’t only about perfect smiles – they were about family dynamics, quirky energy, and memories you talk about later.

This is a throwback to those moments. A celebration of the awkward, the odd, and the utterly unforgettable.

Here’s how it works:

1. Choose your vibe (cheesy, silly, staged weirdness — or mix ‘em all)
2. Pick your playlist (or surprise me with your karaoke favorites)
3. Strike a pose in front of an authentic hand-painted backdrop, rescued from a vintage studio
4. Sessions run ~20 minutes – because awkwardness is more fun when it’s concise
5. You’ll get to preview your images (especially the awkward ones)
6. Walk away with prints and a canvas that’ll make your wall smile (or smirk)
