This Dad’s Hilarious Take on ‘Maternity’ Photos is Absolutely Priceless
Get ready to laugh! A dad has taken the concept of maternity photos and turned it hilariously on its head. Thanks to the creativity of a photographer and his willing friend, the results are both bizarre and side-splitting.
Photographer Greg Collins decided to poke fun at the often dramatic maternity photos many women opt for before giving birth. Luckily, his buddy Leo was more than happy to showcase his “rather prominent belly” for the shoot. In an interview, Collins shared, “I wanted to do something a bit wild, have some fun, and why should only moms get all the camera time?” Well said!
Collins explained that he had been doing a lot of maternity shoots recently and felt the need to mix things up a bit. He had jokingly teased Leo about his belly looking like a pregnant woman’s for years, which sparked the idea for this playful project.
Though the photoshoot occurred over a year ago, the images have continued to circulate online— and for good reason! Collins aimed to promote his work, but more importantly, he wanted to make people chuckle. And boy, did he deliver!
The creative direction was all Collins, from the charming floral headband to the amusing belly paint. But it was Leo’s enthusiastic performance and his priceless expressions that truly stole the spotlight. It’s hard to pick a favorite moment—whether it’s the floral accessory, the cheeky belly design, or the quirky name chosen for their fictional baby, it’s all pure gold!
Both Collins and Leo, whose real name is Leo Johnson, are dads themselves. Collins is a proud father of a 3-year-old daughter and an 18-month-old son, while Leo has two adult children, a 21-year-old named Emma and a 25-year-old named Sophia.
Interestingly, after Emma was born, Leo’s wife asked him to officially register her name as Mia. However, after a few stops at a pub, he ended up writing it down as Emma—oops! Fast forward 21 years, and he made amends with this memorable photoshoot. Not only did he honor his wife’s wishes, but he also brought joy to countless internet users.
