KCEN reports that the family were contacted by a middle-aged woman who marketed herself as an experienced professional photographer.
The married couple, Dave and Pam, decided it could be a good idea to have their family get some pictures taken.
The couple, their two sons, and Dave's mother, met in a nearby park for the photoshoot and reportedly paid the photographer just under $250.
It was months later that the photographer had finally finished editing the photos.
The results are shown below...
Dave captioned the gallery of images: 'Ok. This is NOT a joke. We paid a photographer, who claimed to be a professional, $2-250 for a family photo shoot.
'Please see these FOR REAL photos she delivered to us....She said the shadows were really bad on the beautiful, clear, sunny day and that her professor never taught her to retouch photos. Feel free to share 😂😂😂 I literally have not laughed this hard in YEARS!!!!!
'You can't make this stuff up.....again, this is NOT a joke - final product 🤣'
The couple also shared a photo of a 'normal' photo of their family.
The photos have been shared on Facebook over 300,000 times and commenters couldn't help but weigh in on the hilarious shoot!
'So funny, but awesome!' one commenter wrote.
Another added, 'This is comedic gold. Just think you have your Christmas card photos done for next year!'
Pam and Dave have also since told KCEN that the photos 'were worth every penny' for the humour they brought.
'This has been worth every dime that we spent,' Pam said.
