With so many famous family members, it's no doubt difficult Kardashian clan together all in one place.

So desperate times call for desperate measures.

In a new portrait of the famous family to promote season eight of their hit reality TV show Keeping Up With The Kardashians, Lamar Odom magically appears in the group shot.

SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEO...

In the happy snap he is seen snuggling up to his gorgeous wife Khloe, 28.

However, in a promotional video for the popular programme which features outtakes of the shoot, Lamar is noticeably absent.

As the camera flashes to the same set of stairs where one official portrait is taken, Khloe sits with her family but Lamar is not there.

Instead she tenderly holds onto her brother Rob's arm instead.

In another shot, Khloe is seen happily posing by the pool with her man, looking particularly slender in a pretty floral skirt, a cream knit cardigan and sandals.

Also getting a touch up of the flattering kind is Rob Kardashian, who has recently been on a quest to shed 40lbs off his frame.

The 26-year-old appears significantly slimmer in the snap to how he currently looks with a more bulkier frame.

While Lamar appears in the picture with the aid of photoshop at least Khloe has her man by her side, even if it is only computer wizardry.

Her pregnant sister Kim meanwhile is once again left posing without her better half Kanye West in the snaps.

Despite being surrounded by her family members, the 32-year-old cuts a somewhat lonely figure in the new family portraits.

Usually the centre of attention, Kim does sit in the middle of the family's sitting portrait but she is without her partner and father of her unborn baby Kanye.

But the reason for the rapper's absence stems from his reluctance to appear on camera alongside the famous clan.

While Kanye appeared in several episodes of Kourtney And Kim Take Miami, he reportedly refused to take part in the family's main hit reality show.

This isn't the first time members of the family have magically appeared in portraits.

Last year Khloe was Photoshopped into her family Christmas card.

Not the first time: Khloe and Lamar as well as Scott and Kendall Jenner were all photoshopped into the 2012 Kardashian-Jenner Christmas card

The reality starlet was unable to attend the photoshoot for the annual Kardashian-Jenner holiday card, and so she and husband Lamar had to be added in later with the help of some computer wizardry.

Appearing on Ellen DeGeneres' talk show, Khloe said: 'We pretend that we're always together. The powers of cameras and Photoshop.'

Khloe's younger half-sister Kendall Jenner, 17, had to be digitally added to the picture, too, as she was sick, as did Kourtney's partner, Scott.

Khloe's husband Lamar - who plays for the Los Angeles Clippers basketball team - also missed 2011's dazzling 3D Christmas card shoot because he had a game.

She said: 'That one we were all in but Lamar was Photoshopped because he had a game. It's hard with his NBA schedule. Damn men with a career!'

I guess they could've just photoshopped Kanye in, but he probably didn't want to as he doesn't like being associated with the show!

Obviously they all have busy schedules. Plus Lamar is on a completely different schedule as a basketballer so it would be difficult to wait for everyone to be available. And this is not just a family photo shoot, it's for the show so they probably just thought it was easier this way!

@Lucy, Dallas - that's insulting. Was I adopted just because I don't look like my two sisters? Or did my mother cheat? Get over yourself. I'm no Kardashianstan, but this is getting over the top.

Lamar's support for his wife and her career puts Kanye's to shame! If he can't be there well at least he tries to work something out. Well done Lamar and Khloe
