This week the White House released the much-anticipated official Obama family photo on its Flickr page.

The portrait was taken in the Green Room of the White House on September 1 by famed Vanity Fair photographer Annie Leibovitz, notable for her decades of work capturing the images of rock stars and Hollywood's elite as well as for her multimillion-dollar fortune's recent collapse.

The seated and beaming first family looks happy and relaxed, with Sasha and Malia Obama each draping an arm over mom and dad.

One would think the Obama family would take a more dignified looking picture.

I agree. They all look very nice — even Michelle — but it is just too casual. And the older girl forgot to put on her skirt. They truly are beautiful girls, though.

Actually, it’s a very nice family photo. Who knew Annie Leibovitz could shoot an upbeat regular photo?

Michelle in the background ...

Since Michelle is as tall as, and bigger boned than O, putting her in the background makes her look smaller.
