Family photos are always an adventure to shoot. It’s one thing to get everyone present, never mind fully dressed and facing the right way. Maybe there was one photo that was redeemable – or the one that you had to make the least number of excuses for. The below shots of animal family portraits will make you jealous. Not only is everyone present, but they are dressed in uniform, most are facing the right way and all eyes are open!!! Maybe we can learn a lesson from them – enjoy!

Nobody’s sheepish in this fam!
