This image was photographed by Mark Shaw and taken in 1959 as part of a series entitled Life With the Kennedys, where one of JFK's purported favorite pictures of himself was captured. The photo collection is noted for its intimate portrayal of the Kennedy family, in both casual and official settings. Shaw (1921-1969) was an American fashion and celebrity photographer who, before working with the Kennedys, contributed to the works of Harper's Bazaar, Esquire, and Mademoiselle magazine. In 1964, following JFK's assassination, Shaw published The John F. Kennedys: A Family Album, which became a bestseller.
