An expecting father in Massachusetts has shown off his paternal glow with a pregnancy photo shoot, which has gone viral.

Peabody resident Nick Roberts surprised his pregnant girlfriend with the photos at their gender reveal party in June before their son Logan was born.

Some of the photos show Roberts posing at a beach in the town of Nahant, cradling his visible belly. The couple's son has since been born.

Mr Roberts says he and his friend Steven Cwiok, who is a photographer, grabbed some fast food before the shoot to "try to look a little pregnant".

Mr Roberts' girlfriend, Brianna Magee, told WHDH-TV she flipped through the pictures and "just started laughing harder and harder".
