The photos, posted by Usha Vance on social media, show Vice President JD Vance, Usha, newborn Alec, and their three older children gathered for a family portrait attempt inside the vice president’s official residence at the Naval Observatory.

The second lady opted for an all-white look, matching her newborn son, who was also dressed in white.

“Enjoy these attempts at taking a decent family photo with four kids!” Usha wrote in the caption. “Thank you for all the good wishes as we settle into life as a family of six.”
