Jonas Grinevičius and Austėja Akavickaitė Publish Not your original work? Add source Full disclosure, Pandas, I feel incredibly awkward most of the time when someone's taking my picture. It's anticipating the flash and worrying about whether I'm not looking too goofy or too serious that messes my head up.

What started out as a simple blog back in 2009 has since then ballooned into a multi-million-member project that celebrates the most awkward, uncomfortable, cringy, and simply downright-fun photos of family moments. We can guarantee that these photos will boost your mood and make the wait for that wonderful thing called the weekend pass in a heartbeat.

Tons of nostalgic awkwardness and weirdness below, let's not keep them waiting any longer! Mike, the co-founder of AFP, told Bored Panda that the project has, at its core, always been the same throughout the years: "A celebration of awkwardness especially as it relates to family. We are still laughing 'with' and not 'at' people.

Meanwhile, photographer Dominic Sberna gave Bored Panda his perspective about confidence in front of the camera lens, how to feel more relaxed when having your picture taken, and what professionals can do to help their subjects feel less awkward. Scroll down for his thoughts on the topic!

I think this can be self-inflicted, but also taught through many trials of being the subject," he said. One of the tips that Dominic shared about photographers helping their subjects feel more comfortable is very simple (if not immediately obvious): "Just make them comfortable."
The more photographers engage with their subjects, the quicker they're bound to get used to being photographed.

I think if you engage in conversation on a topic that they have interest in, you'll see the subject open up more and become more comfortable, almost as if they forget they're having their photo taken."
As for the subjects themselves, photographer Dominic suggested that they try and focus on something else if they're feeling particularly nervous.

View more comments When you look at the 'Awkward Family Photos' project, the first thing that hit us is just how much fun everyone's having. People are having a whale of a time submitting the most peculiar pics they have at home to AFP. It might be a tad embarrassing to show someone, especially internet strangers, the silly photos we've got stored in our albums, but it's also liberating.

And, if you make someone else laugh and make their day a smidge better, well, that's a bonus that makes everything worth it. The founders of the 'Awkward Family Photos' project, Mike and Doug, started the AFP blog nearly 12-and-a-half years ago. It all started when Mike spotted a weird vacation photo in his parents' house which sparked the idea to invite others to share uncomfortable family moments.

They're one of the things that we've got in common, no matter our status or background, dreams or desires. Silliness, I'd say, is as human as walking on two legs or browsing cat and dog pics during your lunch break. Currently, AFP has over 2.6 million followers on Facebook and a whopping 1 million Instagram fans.

Keep in mind, though, the latter's for adults only (the outrageous hilarity might be too much for the younger crowd) while the former's a great laugh for all ages. A year ago, my colleague, Rokas, had a great conversation with Mike, one of the co-founders of AFP, about the roots of the project and why it's been resonating with people ever since 2009. In an in-depth interview, Mike shared with Bored Panda that he has always felt connected to awkwardness and comedy.
