Awkward family photo analysis

This appears to be an image of an average, or somewhat average American family. Aside from the way these people look, everything else appears to be normal. There's a mom, a dad, and a little girl. It is normal for a family to go a get their portrait done, which is what one may assume this family is doing. However, looking at the picture it is awkward to say the least. The mom and daughter's hairstyle is anything but ordinary. It looks like there is a bee hive resting on tops of their heads. Especially for the mother, this hairstyle makes her head appear deformed and the little girl looks as if she is being caught off guard. The woman and girl are also wearing matching blaizers while the man is wearing a sports coat of a matching blue color. Oddly, the father looks physically normal. The normality of the father adds humor to this photo as the wife and daughter look incredibly out of place.
 The photograph is composed like a typical family photograph. The father is sitting in the front, possibly signifying that he the head of the family. Sitting behind him is a woman who appears to be his wife and behind both of them is a young girl who one would assume is their daughter. The girl has her hands on each of her parent's shoulders, possibly signifying love and care. The irregularity of the way the mom and girl look is what grabs my attention and makes me laugh.
 This photograph could simply just be a family portrait, or it could be part of a much longer story. Possibly the man in the front of the photo is running for a position in office and that is the reason why the family is wearing matching colors of blue and red (symbolizing USA).
 As a student, this photo simply looks awkward. I see it and I laugh. Awkward photos are taken all the time and usually nothing is thought of it. However, there could be a lot more behind this picture than just humor.
