Some of the photos that feature the men in the family show them with their automobiles driving around. There are also a couple of pictures of young men with possible gay overtones exploring the city, holding hands, and with one image where two boys are seemingly about to kiss. Many of the photos show the young children and babies of the family playing together or with their grandparents. Some of the photos that are taken on the women holding their children are very aesthetically pleasing and well-posed.
