While it is unsure if Kessler’s niece, Carter, truly appreciated the gesture, it will sure be a fond memory to look back on.
“While everyone was dressed casually, I was wearing a suit,” Kessler told USA Today. “I do think that first impressions matter a lot and I wanted Carter to look back on that day with photos and see the attention she was getting,”
“She’s going to grow up hearing this story so I’m sure she will know that it happened, and think it’s funny.” Iris Kessler said to BuzzFeed.
Iris Kessler posted the photo because she wanted everyone to share the moment with her family.
“The reaction is crazy and really exciting for our family,” Iris Kessler told Your Daily Dish via Twitter. “I thought it was really cute and wanted as many people to see it as possible”

Iris Kessler hopes the viral photo will share an uplifting message with those who see it.
“I hope people see that there are such little ways that they can make people around them happy, and to just keep spreading love around in order to brighten anyone’s day that you can!” Iris Kessler said to the Huffington Post.
