I also went to college with him. If you know him, there is nothing particularly surprising about this photo, and I mean that in the best way. He is awesome but at least two sigma.
I know all three of them and there were lots of kilted men in their wedding…and the child is a boy to all the previous posts that were calling him a girl…he is definitely, without a doubt, a boy. Promise. Good people, btw!
it is a funny picture. i shall now share a science fact: dark haired people CAN, indeed, have a light haired child (if both pass on the recessive light haired gene). it is much less likely that 2 light haired people could have a dark haired child. i’m just sayin’….
Thank you! The comments about the blond kid are pretty ridiculous. I was a blond child born to dark haired parents and my hair darkened with age. People talk like it’s impossible, not to mention the fact that the dark hair is most likely not natural.
My brother has very dark brown hair and hazel eyes. He was blonde as a child. My sister-in-law has black hair (1/2 mexican) and brown eyes. Their son is blue eyed and blonde. Not dark blonde, but a dirty, lightish blonde. His hair was almost white as a baby. He is 13 now. He is the spitting image of my brother, so no worries on the paternity.
On a side note, my dad has black hair, my mom has brown; I was born blonde and now my hair is very dark brown. so yeah, it’s possible.
From what I’ve seen at Ren Faires, the fox skins are sold as belt decorations (not that I’ve bought one, nor do I want to). Too bad the subject put one close to the crotchal region…
Is it possible that the mother and child are actually part of the background, and not real people? Their “costumes” look more authentic and it doesn’t seem likely that the child of two people with hair as dark as these two would be blonde. I know thats totally not the point, but still can’t help wondering…
my kid has blonde hair. my ex and i both have dark blonde hair. it’s b/c ex was blonde when he was a kid and it naturally got darker. so ya, it does happen.
I kind of like the kilt/sporran/ax combination: it goes with the hair. I hadn’t realized that Scots traditionally top that off with sleeveless button-front shirt.
So are they really outside or is that one of those Olan Mills scenic backdrops? The lighting is weird. The kid needs a thought bubble above his head saying “Yeah, Braveheart, you go right ahead and “defend” us with your scary scary crotch wolverine and shiny battle axe. Fifteen more years and Timmy is OUTTA HERE!”
He better know how to use that poleaxe, ’cause I’m going to run right over him to get to mama. She’s hot! And baby seems a little too fair to come from such a swarthy sire.
Does anyone else think it is slightly odd that both mommy and daddy have long flowing dark hair while baby has so much lighter coloured hair? This looks so much like a Historical Romance book cover I wonder if they stole the idea or if this was staged with a borrowed baby for someones portfolio? Still you would think if this was staged or idea-napped they would get the fence and weird animal crotch thingy right.
Some very dark-haired people were blond as children, and sometimes their children turn out the same way. I had white-blond hair until I was 5, and my hair is now very dark (for a white girl’s, anyway). If I ever have kids they might be blond too, even if their dad is dark-haired.
OMG I think I know what it is! Is it one of those purse things that Scotsmen hang from their belt on their kilt, except it’s made of fur???? At least I hope it is, otherwise I am traumatized by the image.
I think the conversation went like this: “We need a family photo – ” “Imma stop you right there. I don’t want one.” “But our baby has his own email address, and no one has ever seen his picture.” “…” “What if…I let you pick the theme?” “I can pick whatever I want?” “…Yesss…” “If I can wear WHATEVER I want, dead or alive, I’ll do it.” “Did you just say, dead or alive?”
I’m guessing they took this just so they can blow it up big and hang in a position of honor when the girl grows up and starts having dates. Way to think ahead, Dad!

I know this is super dorky, but I kinda like this picture. *shifts eyes*
this is just um… awkward
I’d make that face too if my crotch were getting devoured by a fox!
The fox sporran, the forrest, the sword, the flowing white dress, the beard, the pose – so much awkwardness in one photo.
well….to have a wife that SMOKING HOT, he must be doing somtehing right.
husband posing with the ol’ battle ax. in more ways than one…
I admit I’m a little envious of this and wish I had thought of the idea for (one of) my oen wedding portraits. Sure beats another elbow shelf.
I know mamma and she’s a natural blonde who dyes her hair dark. That solves the blonde kid question!
What is the hot mom doing with Braveheart/ Highlander/ Fox Crotch?
I’m confused by whatever is between his legs…?!

What the fox is with that sporran?
momma looks good!
I went to college with that guy and he dressed like that often. He married her in a kilt. I love that he posted it here. I lol’d so hard

D’ya think that battle axe is the sharpest tool in the shed?
Daddy, it’s not nice to pull up your kilt like that!
it’s called a sporran.
Such hilarious comments on this one….but really, what the crap is happening here? A family joke photo, I hope.
I’m so confused…

Am I alone in thinking Dad is hot? I totally would.
me first..
Nope, he’s definitely hot!!!
From what I’ve seen at Ren Faires, the fox skins are sold as belt decorations (not that I’ve bought one, nor do I want to). Too bad the subject put one close to the crotchal region…
Upon Thor hearing his wife’s confession, of what he suspected all along about the true paternity of their child, he flew into a murderous rage!
I can just hear the wind machine blowing his mane around.
I think this is my favorite caption……EVER.
Quite the lion cloth.
buh dum dah
Wow nothing says tough guy like I ride a wolf or perhaps I stuff wolves in my crotch?

My aunt and uncle both have dark brown hair, but one of their kids has blonde hair and blue eyes

It’s okay since he ripped the sleeves off. Probably used the axe.
Everyone’s had their sleeves ripped off!
So are they really outside or is that one of those Olan Mills scenic backdrops? The lighting is weird. The kid needs a thought bubble above his head saying “Yeah, Braveheart, you go right ahead and “defend” us with your scary scary crotch wolverine and shiny battle axe.

Bad romance novel cover?
I don’t even know where to start or what to say about this beautiful insanity.
Wow….I see pics like this…and I just honestly do not know what to say…………
The fact that people…would want portraits done of such strange things…is so beyond my understanding.
I am a bit concerned for the poor child who is witnessing her father…just a moment before he clearly axed the poor camera man!
Who is this ‘fox crotch’ dad anyway….good grief…
A blonde child? I think a Viking may have already “invaded” your village, Wallace.
LOL! Funny, AND historically possible!
This set of comments totally rule!!! I ROFL’d. I ROFL’d very hard.
LOVE.
Damn.
He better know how to use that poleaxe, ’cause I’m going to run right over him to get to mama. She’s hot! And baby seems a little too fair to come from such a swarthy sire.
The real protector is the fox in front of his loins.
Excuse me, sir, but there’s a dead fox on your junk.
Thanks for making my face hurt.

What…..?!?!? You think this wasn’t staged?

Is Dad protecting the family from other animals which might attack their crotches, as his was attacked? What a guy.
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA…….oh stop……..can’t breath!!!!
I can’t make out what’s happenning around the dad’s crutch area.
omg did you just say “crutch”? don’t you mean “crotch”? lol
))
At least the dad can play the part….
If you buy a cowboy outfit you can be a cowboy too!
Is that a coyote in your pants or are you just glad to see me????
UHHHHHHHH…OMG! what is THAT between his legs??!!!
OMG I think I know what it is! Is it one of those purse things that Scotsmen hang from their belt on their kilt, except it’s made of fur???? At least I hope it is, otherwise I am traumatized by the image.
Yes! Those things are called sporrans, and it’s basically a purse, since kilts don’t have pockets.
Is that a fox in your crotch or are you just happy to see me?
oops. already done. so sorry.
I think the conversation went like this: “We need a family photo – ” “Imma stop you right there. I don’t want one.” “But our baby has his own email address, and no one has ever seen his picture.” “…” “What if…I let you pick the theme?” “I can pick whatever I want?” “…Yesss…” “If I can wear WHATEVER I want, dead or alive, I’ll do it.” “Did you just say, dead or alive?”
After McGyver lost the part as the lead in Beowulf, he never could get over it…
I’m guessing they took this just so they can blow it up big and hang in a position of honor when the girl grows up and starts having dates. Way to think ahead, Dad!
Ok, ok…..THIS Dad is a Highlander!
They may take our geraniums, but they will never take our FREEDOM!
Rofl!!! Love your comment…as for me, there are no words…
That was awesome!
This comment is awesome!
