A family got a special surprise when former President Barack Obama accidentally photobombed their picture.
“Look who strolled by in our picture for our family Cherry Blossom photo shoot!” Portia Moore wrote on Instagram Tuesday, alongside photos of the 44th president and a secret service agent walking behind her daughter, Belle, and son, Preston.
Moore and her husband, Damien, traveled with their kids to DC’s Tidal Basin to get professional photos done as the cherry blossoms bloomed.
When it was time for the kids to take their pictures together, Moore said her husband kept trying to say something to her but she was focused on making sure their 20-month-old son didn’t run toward the water.
“After that shoot was done I pick Preston up and asked Damien ‘what were you saying?’ He goes ‘that was President Obama who just walked by’ and looks his direction. I was like whaaaaat?!” she recalled.
Moore said she “ran to the photographer” and asked if she had captured the moment on film.
“She scrolls through and BOOM there is it! The perfect shot!” Moore added. “This story is one to remember and the picture is a family heirloom (literally). And nope, we did not bother him on his much needed peaceful stroll.”
In the snaps, Obama, 63, casually strolled by behind the children, wearing a baseball cap, a white long-sleeved shirt, dark-colored pants and sneakers.
Just inches away from the dad of two was a secret service agent, who was dressed in all black.
Obama responded to his photobomb in the comments section of Moore’s post, writing, “Preston and Belle, I hope you enjoyed peak bloom! My bad for stepping into the shot.”
The Nobel Peace Prize winner has been enjoying a lot of solo time lately as his wife, Michelle Obama, stays under the radar after skipping President Donald Trump’s inauguration.
Last month, Barack watched the Los Angeles Clippers take on the Detroit Pistons while sitting courtside at Intuit Dome in Inglewood, Calif.
And in February, he was pictured heading into the Italian restaurant Osteria Mozza in DC for another dinner without his wife, 61, as diners cheered and clapped.
