The Best Case Scenario photo series might actually depict a bunch of worst case scenarios, but that isn't to say that the title is not appropriate. Instead, it rethinks the depiction of happy families in advertisements and more in order to bring attention to the daily grind parents are part of. By doing so, the Best Case Scenario series brings a hilarious perspective to tough situations, which will make anyone laugh.

Shot by lifestyle photographer Danielle Guenther, the Best Case Scenario series is such a hit, she is getting requests from similar images for other families. Design Taxi writes, "From food fights and feuding siblings, to disastrous family outings and homes turned upside down, Guenther has documented them all." Who knows what she'll come up for others.
