I find dads incredibly hard to buy for – they either buy themselves whatever they want, or you’ve already gone down that “hobby” road so many times you’re bored of it (and probably stumped for ideas!)
How about something completely different – how about something that puts dad more in the picture, shall we say? <wink>
Family photo sessions are once again gaining in popularity and affordability. Gone are the cheesy backgrounds (who remembers the bridge in a park with autumn leaves?) and forced poses (a la Awkward Family Photos) – today’s sessions are more playful, inclusive and, for the most part, more natural.
Most local retailers (as well as baby fairs and swaps) will be able to highlight the photographers in your area, and of course the tinterweb is a great resource as it allows you check out a photographer’s style and look.
A photo session for dad with the kid(s) is a great opportunity to capture some of that magic and provide memories for years to come.

Emily is very proud to be one of the Spilt Milk Moms ‘founding mothers’ as well as being Mama to “Little Miss” (who was born in August 2009) and Wifelet to her Husbando. She spent seven years living in London which helped her to develop a keen eye for amazing products from around the world. As an actress and producer, Emily ensured her place in hell with over 3 years in children’s advertising (her job was “to create want where there is no need!”) but looks to undo the damage by finding the best things around for mamas and little ones. Emily is always ready with fresh baking, a silly song, or a glass of chardonnay and is renowned for always being overdressed and having a killer collection of heels that she’s not afraid to wear (even whilst babywearing!). You can also find her on her personal blog Aprons & Heels ~ emily (at) SpiltMilkMoms (dot) com |
