Parenting is filled with precious moments. Of course, sometimes it's hard to appreciate those moments when you're scraping gum out of your kid's hair.

Photographer Danielle Guenther often captures beautiful moments between parents and their children for her art and portrait photography. However, it was after a long shoot with a client when she stumbled on inspiration for her series, Best Case Scenario.

"We decided to do a funny imperfect image," Guenther said to Mashable. While many family portraits are the product of hours of grooming and posing children so they look just right, Guenther's series reflects a more truthful — if slightly exaggerated — side of being a parent.

Activities like family meals, going to the grocery store and even taking a shower are made into chaotic and hilarious scenes that just about any parent can relate to.

"It's okay to laugh at stressful moments you have as a parent, we've all been there," she says.

Even though her photos are meant to make you laugh (or wince, depending on how many children you have), Guenther wants to inspire other moms and dads to take time to remember every cringe-worthy moment of parenthood. "Put even the crazy moments into an image — those are equally as beautiful."
