Family Photo Recreations That Have Us Laughing And Crying

Nobody wants to be photographed on a bad hair day or during a compromising moment, and it's especially painful when those photos stick around in the family scrapbook for the next twenty years. However, primp-free moments are usually the ones with the most character. So the next time you shy away from a candid camera, laugh about it instead, and maybe remember your outfit so you can recreate the moment like these families did.

Daddy's Boy

Joe Luxton, a U.K.-born designer, did a series of photos with his brother and his dad, showing how they've changed — or not! — through the years. Their love for power naps clearly lasted.

Dad's Got Skills

It was 21 years later when this father-son duo decided to reenact a special photo from son Josiah's birthday. The coolest part isn't the photo, though — it's that "he actually delivered me at home himself," Josiah tweeted. Luckily, his mom had enough energy to snap the picture.

Patient Father

This dad's got a baby chewing on his arm, a toddler crying, a bowl of fragile objects that could spill at any moment, and someone documenting the whole thing. Twenty-odd years later, he does it all again. "That man could out-patience a rock," his Redditor child said.

Circle of Life

When this Redditor's husband was three months old, his dad lost his life in a car accident. Luckily, the family had this photo of the two of them, and the Redditor recreated it — with her husband and son — for a family Christmas present.
