Tune In to The Hub Network’s Awkward Family Movies Week
We’ve all had them, those awkward photos that preserve our memories in an odd way. You know those photos you hope your parents never take out when friends come for a visit or it could be some from your teen & college years. I know I have a few photos that I just wish would disappear, whether I took them thinking at the time it was genius or they just happened by accident. One of my youngest sister’s hates having her photo taken. Just about every photo taken with her is awkward because she’s either making an odd face or her eyes are always shut. To celebrate some of those awkward family photos the Hub Network along with Awkward Family Photos are sharing some awkward family movies. You can read more about it below.

About Awkward Family Photos
Childhood friends Mike and Doug began the blog in May 2009 after Mike saw an awkward vacation photo hung in his parents’ house. Realizing there were probably plenty of other people out there with their own awkward family images, the two friends decided to create a friendly place where everyone could come together and share their uncomfortable family moments. Thus, Awkward Family Photos was born. The authors started by posting a few of their own childhood photos and those provided by friends, and the site quickly took off and became an internet sensation; it now receives millions of visits daily and has published a #1 New York Times Bestseller.
