16 Family Portraits That Don't Even Try To Be Picture-Perfect

http://big.assets.huffingtonpost.com/family2.jpg Picture your family. Mom hasn’t had time to do her hair, and Dad doesn’t really walk around in a suit and tie … or perhaps even pants. The kids run around with the energy of one thousand windmills and have already managed to get breakfast on their brand-new clothes.



The modern family embraces the notion that it can be perfect even with all its imperfections, so why not let your family photo do the same? Providing you with some alternatives to the stiff and posed portrait, we partnered with Chevrolet Malibu to round up family-photo ideas that are sure to capture the joy of the moment. So forget picture-perfect, and check out the photos below.
