The Brood: Photographer Danielle Guenther subverts the traditional family portrait
Family portraits are usually perfectly posed, but photographer and mom Danielle Guenther has a different take on on the modern day family photo.

Family portraits are usually perfectly posed, but photographer and mom Danielle Guenther has a different take on on the modern day family photo.

Parents regularly shell out large chunks of cash for family photos. Those perfectly posed portraits where the family can be seen happily frolicking at a park, or gathered lovingly together in the living room, or dressed in matching attire for the holidays. 

But let's get real for a minute. These photos bear little, if any, resemblance to what life is really like when you have kids. 

Photographer and mom Danielle Guenther is well aware of this fact. She's been taking photos of what the modern day family really looks like and she joins Take Two to tell us more about her photo project "Best Case Scenario."
