In her series PARENTING: Best Case Scenario, photographer Danielle Guenther captures family portraits that emphasize the truly hectic experience of raising children. Some of the staged photos are heightened versions of reality, but others, like the one of a father desperately trying to reach his cellphone without waking his sleeping infant, are genuinely true to life.
