My name is Mike Bender and I'm the co-founder of an Instagram account "Awkward family photos" dedicated to celebrating our most cringe-worthy photos. At AFP, we laugh with our community, not at them, and let's face it - we all have cringe photos!

In honor of Valentine's Day, I decided to put together some of our greatest couple's photos submissions and the stories behind them to celebrate the inherent awkwardness of amor.

It's not uncommon to encounter a black metal or death metal band in the forest. That's where they get their logos.

I went home one weekend to see my parents and found my mother hanging up an awkward photo from my childhood. At first, I thought it was so strange that she was memorializing something so cringeworthy, but then I thought about it more and it was kind of genius.

Given that we all have photos like this, I thought what if (along with childhood friend, Doug Chernack) we could create a website where everyone could share their strange family pics and that's how AFP was born. We had no idea it would become as popular as it is today.

    Personally, I'm a fan of anything from the '70s and '80s... I just love the clothes and the style at the time and it was the golden era of the photo studio, where families would go and embrace the most uncomfortable poses, like piling on top of other family members. Looking back, it was a gloriously awkward time.

    From the time our website and Instagram began, people have really embraced Awkward Family Photos. We have always been about celebrating the awkwardness rather than making fun of people. After all, we all have them and the way we see it - sharing your awkward photo is kind of a badge of honor, something to be proud of! 

    School photos and baby photos might be the most popular followed by family portraits and wedding photos.

    This made me laugh. Kids always make a spectacle at a wedding I don't understand people that don't allow them to attend. At mine my ring bearer was my little 6 yr old cousin he got so nervous he his his head, bent down between the two church doors and wailed. Then his little 3 yr old brother stepped in to save the day and waddled down the aisle. It was hilarious.

    OMG. I'd completely forgotten all about pan-stick foundation. It came in a white case. I used to wear it and I LOVED it. Pan-stick covered every little blemish freckle, dimple, and sparkle that you naturally had on your face. I'm a former professional singer from the 1980s and it was great for stage make up.

    My fiance is a metalhead but dresses like a typical dude who looks "normal": plain blue jeans, well worn work boots, heavy metal t-shirt, plain zip-up hoodie. I typically wear nothing but black: vinyl pants with tons of zippers, chains, and straps, knee high boots with a six inch platform, fishnet top, cropped skull hoodie. We're very much an odd couple from all outward appearances but inwardly have so much in common. The best part? We are still so very much in love after five years together and it's the very first healthy, equal relationship I've ever been in. He's kind, loving, and compassionate. He's never raised his voice at me or my son, much less his hand (the marriage I ended 16 years ago was extremely abusive on my ex's behalf, consisting of physical, emotional, and sexual abuse towards me and physical and emotional abuse towards our then toddler son).
