A new dad from Boston, Massachusetts, has taken the internet by storm with a comical paternity photo shoot that has gone viral. Nick Parker, the proud father, never expected his funny take on a maternity shoot to gain so much attention. “Honestly, I thought it would just be a hit with my friends,” Nick shared with Scary Mommy. “But here we are, the whole world seems to be laughing along!” Since its release, the photos have racked up over 89,000 shares.
Nick and his long-time buddy, Mike Allen, concocted the idea as a lighthearted surprise for Nick’s girlfriend when they found out they were expecting. “One day, Mike jokingly suggested I do a maternity shoot as if I were the one pregnant,” Nick explained on Facebook. “At first, we laughed it off, but then we decided—why not?” The memorable shoot actually took place months ago in the summertime, but it was kept under wraps until the gender reveal party.
During the party, they revealed the photos by placing them in a photo album on a table for guests to discover. Nick’s girlfriend loved the surprise, and her reaction was priceless. “She thinks they are hilarious,” Nick shared. Mike added, “Her excitement was just as entertaining, especially since she knew Nick’s sense of humor.”
So how did Nick pull off those iconic “pregnant dad” poses? With a little help from McDonald’s, of course! “We figured if I was going to look the part, I might as well indulge in some fast food,” he joked. “Honestly, after devouring those double cheeseburgers, I felt a bit more connected to the whole pregnancy experience.”
If you’re considering a paternity shoot of your own, Nick and Mike encourage you to go for it. “Shooting these photos was one of the funniest experiences I’ve ever had,” Mike said. “Watching Nick nail those poses was a riot!” Nick humorously concluded, “I may never know what labor feels like, but I can’t imagine it’s too different from gorging on fast food!”
