In a delightful turn of events, a new father from Boston, Massachusetts, has captured the internet’s attention with a comical paternity photo shoot that has gone viral. The unique concept behind the shoot has left many viewers in stitches, and it seems this dad, whom we’ll call Jake Thompson, may have stumbled upon a new modeling career.
Jake shared his initial surprise at the shoot’s popularity, stating, “I never expected it to blow up like this. I thought only our friends would get a kick out of it, not the entire world.” The images have already amassed over 89,000 shares online, thanks to an ingenious idea cooked up with his long-time friend, Mark Lewis, who played the role of photographer.
The Inspiration Behind the Shoot
The inspiration for the shoot came when Jake and his partner discovered they were expecting a child. “One day, Mark jokingly suggested I do a maternity shoot—featuring me,” Jake recounted. After some deliberation, they decided to run with the concept. Interestingly, the photos were taken months before they were shared publicly. “We actually shot this back in the summer,” Mark revealed. “It was intended as a surprise for Jake’s girlfriend, and it certainly worked!”
Revealing the Photos
At their gender reveal party, the pair cleverly presented the printed pictures in a photo album, watching as guests stumbled upon them. “My girlfriend thought they were hilarious,” Jake added, with Mark chiming in about her priceless reaction. “She wasn’t too shocked; she knows Jake’s sense of humor well!”
The Secret to Those Perfect Poses
But how did Jake manage to evoke those perfect “pregnant dad” poses? The answer is simple: fast food. “I figured it was only fitting to at least try to look a little pregnant, so we grabbed some McDonald’s,” he admitted. “Honestly, the whole experience, along with the discomfort from those double cheeseburgers, really helped me connect with the whole pregnancy thing.”
Advice for Future Paternity Shoots
For those considering their own paternity photo shoot, Mark suggests going for it. “The entire experience was one of the funniest moments of my life,” he noted. “Watching Jake nail those poses was a riot!” Although Jake will never know the true experience of labor, he humorously compared it to the aftermath of indulging in a lot of fast food. “I feel incredibly grateful for this enlightening experience,” he concluded.
