The pictures and text below are from the new book "Awkward Family Photos," which will be published on May 4. You can check out the Awkward Family Photos blog here.

Family: They're the people we love, the people we trust and confide in, the people we identify with. but there's something else about family that isn't often spoken about because, well, it's not always comfortable to admit. So, let's just put it out there-- family is awkward. That's right. When a group of people with the same last name and different personalities are forced to spend most of their lives together, plenty of uncomfortable moments are sure to follow. And when a camera is there to capture one of those moments, an awkward family photo is born.
