Off The Record
They Snapped A Family Pic… And Accidentally Caught A Global Superstar In The Background
Barack Obama unintentionally walked into the background of a cute family’s photo shoot and then playfully apologized to them.
On Monday morning, Portia Moore was in the Washington DC Tidal Basin watching her two small children, Preston and Belle, while family photographer Briana Inell snapped their shot beneath a cherry blossom tree.
Former President Obama, wearing a white button-down shirt, sunglasses, a baseball cap, and form-fitting black slacks, strolled behind the kids at the same moment.
“Of course, I’m paying attention to my son, making sure he doesn’t run into the water. He’s 20 months old,” Moore recounted to NBC Washington.
However, her astute husband, Damien, promptly identified the well-known photobomber.
“That’s Obama,” my husband said, she recalled. I had no idea what he was talking about. I thought, “Yeah, whatever I’m looking at Preston right now.”
She didn’t ask her husband what he was trying to tell her until she was picking up her son.
“It’s Obama!” he said.
According to Moore, they hurried right away to check whether they could get the 44th president in the background of one of their photos.
“We went to the photographer and she scrolled back, and we’re like,” “We got it,” Moore said.
Moore shared the image on Instagram, showcasing her little boy dressed in all-denim and sneakers, and her daughter with her hair pulled back in a pink frock.
“Look who strolled by in our picture for our family Cherry Blossom photoshoot,” she wrote.
Obama posted the image to Instagram along with a note to the family’s 36.6 million followers.
“Preston and Belle, I hope you enjoyed peak bloom! My bad for stepping into the shot,” he wrote.
Obama had previously shared images from the same spot.
“It’s fun to be able to play tourist once in a while,” he wrote. “The cherry blossoms were beautiful this morning!”
Moore now expresses her hope that she could go back in time and ask Obama to participate in their upcoming photo session.
“Come for next year’s shoot,” she pleaded. “Same place, same time, same date. We’ll be here.”
Inell stated that she will never forget that moment in the interim.
“Usually I’m editing all of the tourists out of the backgrounds for all my clients anyways, but this is the one photo that I won’t be editing out this person,” she vowed.
