A family taking photos with the cherry blossoms on D.C.’s Tidal Basin had a surprise when they realized former President Barack Obama was in the background of their shots. The 44th president made a cameo in their family photos early Monday, much to their delight. The mother, Portia Moore, was focused on keeping her kids safe while the photos were being taken, so she initially did not realize who was in the background. Her husband pointed out that it was Obama, and they were able to capture the moment with their photographer, Briana Inell. The photos show Obama wearing a baseball cap as he walked casually along the Tidal Basin and photobombing the family’s children, Belle and Preston Thomas.
The photographer, Inell, said this moment will be one she won’t edit out of the background like she usually does for tourist photos. The family is excited to include this photo on their Christmas card and would love for Obama to join them for next year’s shoot. Obama later saw the photo on Instagram and commented on it, apologizing for unintentionally stepping into the shot. He also shared his own cherry blossom photos from the Tidal Basin. The family was thrilled to have such a special moment captured in their photos with the cherry blossoms and a surprise appearance from the former president.
