Picture this: You’re out with your adorable family, basking in the glory of Washington, D.C.’s famous cherry blossoms, striking poses like you’re about to grace the cover of Parents Magazine—when BAM! You realize you’ve just been photobombed by a former U.S. President.
That’s exactly what happened to Portia Moore and Damien Thomas, whose family photoshoot took an unexpected turn when none other than Barack “Photobomber-in-Chief” Obama casually strolled into their frame. Their two kids, four-year-old Belle and almost-two-year-old Preston, may not have realized the historic moment unfolding behind them, but the internet sure did.
Photographer Briana Inell captured the golden moment and did what any responsible citizen would do—immediately post it online for maximum virality. And viral it went! So viral, in fact, that Obama himself had to chime in.
“Preston and Belle, I hope you enjoyed peak bloom! My bad for stepping into the shot,” he posted on his Instagram Story, proving once again that he’s got the smoothest social media game of any former president.
As for Portia? She lost her mind in the best way possible.
“I was so shocked and I ran to the photographer and was like, ‘Did you get it?’” she told The Washington Post, adding that, yes, the picture was absolute perfection.
So if you’re planning a wholesome family photoshoot in D.C., remember: you might just get a bonus Obama cameo. 🌸👀📸
