A family photo shoot is an event where expectations don’t always match reality. You want to get a nice and cozy photo that shows how happy you are together. But the result sometimes does not meet these requirements, and you get just concentrated awkwardness, which you want to hide away from public eyes. But why hide it when you can laugh together?

About 7 months ago, a tiny kitten showed up in the parking lot at my office. He turned out to be the chillest cat ever.
