A family taking photos with the cherry blossoms on D.C.’s Tidal Basin spotted a famous figure in the background of their shots: former President Barack Obama.
To their delight, the 44th president made a cameo in their family photos early Monday.
“It was perfect,” mom Portia Moore said.
Her daughter and son were standing under a cherry tree as family photographer Briana Inell snapped her shutter. Moore was focused on keeping her kids safe.
“Of course, I’m paying attention to my son, making sure he doesn’t run into the water. He’s 20 months old,” she said.
What her husband said at the same time didn’t quite register.
“My husband’s like, ‘That’s Obama!’ I didn’t know what he was saying. I was like, ‘Yeah, whatever. I’m looking at Preston right now,’” Moore recalled.
