My name is Kate Weiland. I’m a happy mother of three kids and the creator behind the delicious (and totally ridiculous) photography food series Our Family Bites (#ourfamilybites).
I’ve always been a massive supporter of the fine arts and having taught Drama and Dance for many years, I was eager to get into the photography side of things. The forced perspective photography technique has been especially interesting to me – I knew it would be fun to start a family portrait series where we could look back and just have a good laugh. The outfit ideas are endless and I’m eager to create and present new cool photos.
My latest project involves food and my family, so you can often find me holding up various pieces of grub in front of my camera lens in an attempt to dress my family in unique food outfits. After our sushi picture went viral, I thought ‘well, people don’t totally hate it is – so I’ll raise the steaks (HA!) and continue this family photos project with some other cuisine’. I fully understand that there are some who find the series ‘distasteful’, but I get a surge of energy whenever people talk about my creative photography. As the saying goes; ‘Never let the opinion of others affect your execution’.
In truth, the hardest part of the process is stopping myself from eating the props before finishing with the photo ideas. I’ve gained a few pounds after these family photoshoots but it’s all worth it because #ourfamilybites has been the best boredom killer.

OOH it looks like they were a Victorian family tragically murdered by a jealous conspirator in a planned train car accident

I want to see their hair after they take the curlers out. I'll bet it would be really cute!

What do you mean my "saccharine narcissism", please? A genuine question, I understand the words but am not sure what exactly it means. :) Thanks.

Take your family outside. Abort from social media and see that true happiness is out there

How do you know they don't? Your old geezer is showing, better cover it up.

I don't know what to think. From a side, I have to say of course that these pictures are really nice, creative and well made. On the other side, I feel something that I'm not comfortable with. Maybe it's just social media, but it's all too perfect, and it seems to express they have a very nice life as a family. Part of me is envying because I have a life that is not even close to the level of these pictures, I'm honest. I hope you will not think I'm too much cynical (even though I'm also this), but I think that this is also a self promoting action. But maybe I should just be happy for them, and stop complaining around...what do u think?

Hi! We’re having fun and I was asked by Bored Panda to submit our pics from Instagram - which I obviously did but had no idea about the site prior to the submission. When IG started for us, I really wanted some good shots of my family to laugh at (in a good way) when the kids get older - I’m also an art/drama/dance teacher so regular ‘stand and smile’ at the camera pics are very neutral to me - I wanted to get creative. Our messy house and crazy life is rarely documented but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist ;) We’re just having fun and hopefully people can appreciate the thought and creativity going into some of the pics.

How can you ever be bored if you have three young kids? You barely have time to breathe!
Kate Weiland (Post author) 6 years ago
Hey Ellis - I find changing diapers, cleaning up spills and messes and full-filling constant demands exhausting and occasionally mundane. Although I fully understand that these are all part of ‘parenting and motherhood’ and I feel extremely blessed to BE a mother, I do need a creative outlet occasionally and photography is it 🤗. Otherwise - I’d go nuts 😂.

very cute photos! Something to cherish when they're all grown up and off to college.

Money would help, the wardrobe alone, and perhaps a hired photographer , etc. !!!

Kate is obviously married to a man. She doesn't have a wife. But if she did, I'm certain her wife would be gorgeous.

I'm a white person and I upvoted this. If you want to share your photos fine, but don't include the "...to fight boredom." in the title. I have worked full-time or more since I was 13 years old and had so little time to be bored that I worked 40+ hours a week through 8 months of aggressive cancer treatment in 2016/2017. I would have loved to have this kind on time on my hands at any point in my life.
