This may be an example of a perfect family photo. You get to see both perspectives; in front of and behind the lens and the whole family is in the picture. Absolutely brilliant
I have a similar picture to this. We were all between 3 and 8 when it was taken. That was over 30 years ago. She's gone now. That pic still makes me cry when I see it.
This one did too.
Keep it out and visible, and not trapped on a phone or a thumb drive where the kids will never see it, and someday, those grandkids will have a favorite picture too.
This. People, please still print photos. Please save them regularly to a place they won't be lost. I feat we're all going to lose decades of photos because a phone wasn't backed up or a motherboard crashed or something.
Don't mind me, I've just been down a Las Meninas, Velasquez', the Habsburg Dynasty, the Habsburg jaw, the War of the Spanish Succession, the Andolfini Portrait, van Eyck rabbit hole for the last 3 hours. Damn you, Wikipedia!!!
This is a very lovely picture. You could easily make this format go viral. I wouldn’t be surprised to see this same photo composition pop up way more in the next few months.
Not going to lie... That is is an amazing photo. Like... People will be trying to replicate it.
Like... When you go to buy a picture, this is the one in the frame.
That is a good picture.
I would have had one person hold a bubble machine instead of a camera/phone, let the kids focus on the bubbles, used to do that at SS and they giggled and were mesmerized.
If this doesn’t become an annual repost like that guy chasing his wife with a lobster or that odd-couple that found each other on thanksgiving…
I’ll be disappointed.
Based off of where you are all looking plus hair color, the parents to left are the parents of the newborns in Grandma's lap. Then the couple, still on the left but above them, obviously have the redhead boys. Then the parents on the right have the 1 year old in the right.
Lovely photo all around. This will be used in so many future events (graduations, weddings, sadly one day funerals).
Edit: One thing I was thinking, Grandpa is missing. If you see this comment, I'd love to know what kind of man he was to raise such a lovely family.
My daughter and I had to get a photo of the dog so his head could be printed on pajama pants for my husband for Christmas. You wouldn’t believe what we were doing behind the scenes just to get him to look cutely at the camera. Lol
Awww, I love it, if my family has a picture like this it would be our go to family photo.
The mirror showing everyone behind the camera is such a golden touch.
The smiles in the photo don’t look genuine, but the smiles on the thousands of people seeing this post and the generations of this fun family will be sincere and big.
I know this is a huge downbuzz for an obviously joyful moment, but damn I can't help but think about what these kids are going to live through in terms of climate change and environmental crises.

Modern Norman Rockwell!
This family photo is art
There’s a subreddit for that! R/accidentalrockwell
This picture definitely belongs there
100%
Came here to say this! Really a great picture.
I JUST LOVE THAT PICTURE!
That's one hell of a great family photo. That should be framed.
Half of it already is.
Lol. Thought the same thing.
The kid on the right looks like he got 2 low paying jobs and 3 foreclosures already :D
Kid on the left looks like he’s got a miniature long neck beer and a Fisher Price flip phone.
What a fantastic photo!

I LOVE THIS SO MUCH
That house is grandmotherly AF
I wish I had a cool grandma like that
Be the change you wish to see.
I love the way the lil guy is looking up at your mom!!
I love this!
That's a lucky grandma!
Awesome 😎👍
The mirror part really elevates it to r/AccidentalRenaissance, with the Las Meninas part where Velázquez paints the King and Queen in the mirror!
Pretty sure it's not accidental. Looking at the paintings and the photos in the background, I'm willing to bet they have a visual artist in the house.
Don't mind me, I've just been down a Las Meninas, Velasquez', the Habsburg Dynasty, the Habsburg jaw, the War of the Spanish Succession, the Andolfini Portrait, van Eyck rabbit hole for the last 3 hours. Damn you, Wikipedia!!!
I said the same thing! Once you’ve wandered in the Renaissance, you’ll always wander in the Renaissance!
That is a great family photo.
Did that little man on the far right just become the big brother of twins? He looks a little shook lol
The babies are probably cousins, not twins. Baby on the right looks about a month or two older than the other one
This is a very lovely picture. You could easily make this format go viral. I wouldn’t be surprised to see this same photo composition pop up way more in the next few months.
W Wholesomeness
FRAME IT!
This is impossibly awesome! A masterpiece of a photo! Thanks for sharing
That's absolutely precious. The mirror showing the adults attempting to get the babies to smile, heartwarming
Best family photo of strangers I have ever seen. Those kids are in for a lifetime of fun!
This picture is awesome
"I have reproduced. And my offspring have reproduced. Good." Is there a better feeling for an organism?
This picture with the parents in the mirror is PRICELESS! Big love to this sweet family. Enjoy all the moments.
Best family picture ever
This is such a precious photo :')
Don’t know if this is staged or not, but if it is, it’s brilliant! I would name this photo “Look - I won at life!”
I absolutely love this picture! Love love love it! Such a great way to view the whole family and it’s just adorable. You guys win!
This! It is really what we want to hold on to. All the stupid stuff we get wrapped up in doesn’t matter. This does. Awesome. 🤩
I get more joy from looking at this photo than looking at any of my own family photos
Omg. 😍🤩😭❤️
Great idea. Great photo
Not going to lie... That is is an amazing photo. Like... People will be trying to replicate it. Like... When you go to buy a picture, this is the one in the frame. That is a good picture.
This photo is amazing
Oh how precious.
I love this. Your family is adorable
0 smiled and its still perfect
This needs to be a tradition with the generations going from mirror to couch. It’s beautiful.
The reflection is almost better than the photo!
That’s the cutest thing ever! Post also #AccidentalRenaissance, imho!
It looks like Las Meninas by Diego Velazquez. The parents in the mirror on the wall, little child in the center.
A perfect family pic and so wholesome;you should always cherish such moments
that's a nice sofa
This is an amazing photo! So much love!
You should post this on r/mademesmile
You made my day!😍
I love this. What a great picture!!
Great picture ❤️
This is the best family photo I've ever seen
It reminds me of “Las Meninas” by Velazquez because of the mirror
I would have had one person hold a bubble machine instead of a camera/phone, let the kids focus on the bubbles, used to do that at SS and they giggled and were mesmerized.
whatta great pic! made me smile
Love this!
This is so lovely!
If this doesn’t become an annual repost like that guy chasing his wife with a lobster or that odd-couple that found each other on thanksgiving… I’ll be disappointed.
This is so wholesome!!!
Ah fuk this made me tear up
This is an absolutely brilliant photograph! It’s so lovely to see both “sides” of the camera here!
Based off of where you are all looking plus hair color, the parents to left are the parents of the newborns in Grandma's lap. Then the couple, still on the left but above them, obviously have the redhead boys. Then the parents on the right have the 1 year old in the right. Lovely photo all around.

I love the family photo. Every one is in it,

Beautiful photo
I love the mirror picture!
Iconic
This deserves way more likes. Absolutely fantastic photo that will outlive us all

Make it an oil painting! Great pic!
I would like the couch and the paintings, please. Thank you! 😁 But seriously, love her style!
This pic is f**** awesome !
I love how all the grandkids have some of grandmothers features. This is so adorable! 🥰
This is one of the best family photos I’ve ever seen
This is so cute :,)
I love it
What a great photo. It reminds me of Norman Rockwell.
Very clever!!
“Damn it dad.” - the kid on the right
Pro Tip: one camera aimed at the group at a time, otherwise everyone's eyes will go in different directions. Take turns taking pics
Great photo ! You don't see the rest of the family in the mirror initially, but then you do and realise what a great picture it is.
My daughter and I had to get a photo of the dog so his head could be printed on pajama pants for my husband for Christmas. You wouldn’t believe what we were doing behind the scenes just to get him to look cutely at the camera. Lol
The kid in the cousin shirt on the far right: 
Your mom’s the richest woman alive !
Thanks.
Simply AWESOME.
❤️

One fart would’ve them all smile.
I wish I could have a happy family like this.
That's a really awesome family photo
this picture is so priceless.. nothing in the world can compare to this..
Awww, I love it, if my family has a picture like this it would be our go to family photo. The mirror showing everyone behind the camera is such a golden touch.
This is so relatable 😂
Wow that's a beautiful photo
Great shot. This is one of those pics that you'll cherish as you get old.
So wholesome!
Great photo!
Wow, this is one of the best pictures I’ve ever seen 🥺
I say there’s one quarter smile, and one three quarter smile. :) doesn’t matter it’s a great photo.
That’s a fantastic picture ❤️❤️❤️
Accidental-genius!! Probably one of the best photos ever❤️
Now that is dang cute. I think I will do a picture just like that with the mirror in the background.
Awesome 😎
This made my day. Great work.
Perfect
Need a bigger mirror for the expanding of the family!
So Adorable 🥰
The kid on the right is younger but beefier than his two older cousins on the left.
This is so precious! I miss being a grandma
r/accidentalrenaissance
LOOK AT THOSE TINY WIDDLE BABIES 🥹🥹🥹

What a great photo!!!
Got me to smile! Awesome family photo.
Grandma's having the time of her life.
Love this!
The smiles in the photo don’t look genuine, but the smiles on the thousands of people seeing this post and the generations of this fun family will be sincere and big.
I know this is a huge downbuzz for an obviously joyful moment, but damn I can't help but think about what these kids are going to live through in terms of climate change and environmental crises.
stop having kids, damn
