Kim Kardashian Shares the Relatable Chaos of Trying to Get All Four Kids in One Holiday Photo

Kim Kardashian is reminding parents everywhere that even with fame, resources, and a professional photo setup, getting the perfect family holiday picture is no easy task. The SKIMS founder recently shared a candid glimpse into the very relatable struggle of photographing her four children together—and fans couldn’t get enough of it.

Kim Kardashian fails to wrangle all four kids into family Christmas photo: 'I really tried'

In an Instagram carousel posted on December 22, Kim documented several attempts to capture a single smiling photo with her children: North, 12; Saint, 10; Chicago, 7; and Psalm, 6. Despite her best efforts, the reality star and actress couldn’t quite get all four kids to cooperate at the same time. In the only photo where all four appear together, the moment is anything but picture-perfect—North is walking out of the frame while Saint ducks under Kim’s arm, seemingly making his escape.

While the still photos showed the chaotic side of family life, Kim later proved that the holiday shoot wasn’t a total loss. The following day, she shared an Instagram Reel featuring adorable behind-the-scenes moments from the professional photo session. In the video, Kim and her kids are seen wearing matching festive pajama sets, smiling, laughing, and posing together—capturing the warmth and joy of the season, even if perfection was elusive.

The fun didn’t stop with Kim’s immediate family. Cousins joined in on the festivities as well, including Rob Kardashian’s daughter Dream, 9, and Khloé Kardashian’s children, True, 7, and Tatum, 3, adding to the lively and lovable chaos of the shoot.

Kim wasn’t the only Kardashian mom attempting to wrangle kids for a group photo.
