A Virginia family in Washington, D.C., got an image for the ages when former President Barack Obama<\/a> accidentally photobombed a shot of their two children next to the area’s treasured cherry blossom trees, prompting the former commander-in-chief to apologize on social media.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Obama was seen accidentally strolling into the background of a professional photograph of Belle, 4, and Preston, 1, at the Tidal Basin on Monday, the New York Post reported.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Preston and Belle, hope you enjoyed peak bloom,” Obama wrote on Instagram. “My bad for stepping into the shot.”<\/p>\n

Millions of tourists from all over flock to the nation’s capital each spring to catch a glimpse of the blossom trees.<\/p>\n

The photo shows the pair of children smiling under a branch with pretty pink petals with the Washington Monument<\/a> in the background. Obama is shown walking behind the pair while wearing a cap and sunglasses, with his hands in his pockets.<\/p>\n

The children had just finished posing with their parents, Portia Moore and Damien Thomas, when their dad noticed Obama making the unexpected cameo, Moore wrote on Instagram.<\/p>\n

“Look who strolled by in our picture for our family Cherry Blossom photo shoot!” she wrote.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Story time! It\u2019s the kids turn to take a photo together and Damien is saying something to me,” she added. “I\u2019m just focused on Preston not running towards the water (peak mom moment). After that shoot was done I pick Preston up and asked Damien \u2018what were you saying\u2019? He goes \u2018that was President Obama who just walked by\u2019 and looks his direction. I was like whaaaaat?! I ran to the photographer and asked her if she got the picture. She scrolls through and BOOM there is it! The perfect shot!”<\/p>\n

Photographer Briana Inell, who was taking pictures of Moore\u2019s young children, told the Washington Post<\/a> that she’s been photographing families and newborns for over a decade.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She said she’s used to people walking in the background, mostly tourists.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I go to the Tidal Basin every single year,” Inell said. “I\u2019m very used to people walking in on my pictures. I tell my clients \u2018don\u2019t worry they will be Photoshopped out.'”<\/p>\n

In addition to his apology, Obama also posted about the day on his own Instagram account<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s fun to be able to play tourist once in a while. The cherry blossoms were beautiful this morning!” he wrote.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
