In a delightful twist on traditional pregnancy photo shoots, a new dad from Boston, Massachusetts, has gone viral with his amusing paternity shoot, proving that laughter can be just as powerful as heartfelt moments.
“I honestly never expected this to blow up like it did,” shared Jake Miller, the proud dad, in an interview. “When we first uploaded the photos, I thought only our friends would find them funny—not the entire internet.” To date, the pictures have been shared over 89,000 times, capturing the hearts of many.
Jake teamed up with his long-time buddy, Alex Brown, to pull off this creative surprise for his girlfriend. “After we received the news about the baby, Alex jokingly suggested a maternity shoot featuring me,” Jake recounted. “We thought it was a hilarious idea and decided to roll with it.” Although the shoot took place months prior, the images were only recently unveiled. “We actually did this during the summer,” Alex indicated. “It was meant to be a surprise for Jake’s girlfriend, and it certainly was!”
To reveal the photos, they printed them in a photo album and placed it on a table at the gender reveal party, enjoying the reactions as guests discovered the surprise. “My girlfriend thought they were absolutely hilarious,” Jake expressed. Alex agreed, noting, “Her reaction was priceless, but honestly, it wasn’t too shocking knowing that Jake would do something like this. He’s the funniest guy I know.”
So how did Jake master the art of the ‘pregnant dad’ pose? The answer lies in a classic fast-food choice: McDonald’s. “I figured I should at least attempt to look a little pregnant, so we grabbed some burgers,” Jake explained. “In all honesty, the setting, the occasion, and the awful cramps from the double cheeseburgers made me feel a little more connected to the pregnancy experience.”
If you’re considering your own paternity photo shoot, Jake and Alex encourage you to dive in. “Taking those photos was one of the funniest experiences of my life,” Alex said. “Jake nailed the model poses, and it was hysterical to watch.” Jake added, “I may never experience labor, but I imagine it can’t be too far from the sensation of indulging in tons of fast food. This experience has definitely opened my eyes.”
