Photographer Tells Family “We’re Missing Somebody”—Then Mom Sees Who’s Creeping Up Behind Her

Between gathering the little ones, coordinating outfits, and getting the kids to smile all at the same time, it can be quite the chore to get a good family photo taken. But since they’re totally worth the memories, most of us still go through with the not-so-simple task.
