Dads are too often the man behind the curtain. He is the secret keeper of cool and the humble rock star that prefers to sit backstage. Without protest, Dad turns dust into gold and broken things into fixed things. He teaches his children by example. Fatherhood turns a rather ordinary man into so, so much more. We think fatherhood gives a man a certain zest for life. It softens him and opens his heart to the world. Being a Dad turns him into a SUPERHERO, a STORYTELLER, ADVENTURER and SINGER of SONGS.
Inspired by our own Dads and our life experiences with them, we wanted show just how special Dads truly are. They’re gentle, kind jungle gyms… tender hands to protect their newborns; they are grandfathers telling stories of a world gone by. They are a little girl’s knight in shining armor. They are funny tickle monsters… and, simply, men full of love for their children & family. Make no mistake, Dad, we like your style!
We want to capture this. Now through Father’s Day, we are offering special mini photo sessions for Dad & his kids. After all, with everything he does, he shouldn’t be behind the curtain but in front of the camera.

We created this very special movie dedicated to some of our favorite images of dad & his kids. Enjoy!
1. Jessica and her Dad on one of their many adventures together…exploring the wild west! Her Dad always taught her to seek out the adventure in everyday life and that things are not always what they seem. A little beauty and love is everywhere if you just take the time to look. 2. Julie and her Dad 25 years ago. “I’ve been married to a beautiful saint for 50 years, have 6 successful kids (not a jail bird in the bunch!) and have had all I ever needed.” His reason for not being sad or afraid when he found out Lou Gehrig’s disease would take him at 72. 3. In Ashley’s words, “here’s a photo of me and my ultimate hero.”4. In Sarah’s words, ” My dad is my champion! Our hero who taught his boys how to be men and his little girls what to look for in a man. We always had him to turn to for advice, hugs, tickle fights or just an ear to hear about our day. His family is the most important thing to him and we all knew that growing up. Thank you, Dad, for all that you do! “5. Jamie asked, “Like this, Dad?” He replied, “That’s perfect, Jamie!” She always wanted to be his mini-me. Still does!6. Lindsay’s Dad taught her to understand that love makes your life special… In his words, ” If you love what you do—it’s not a job, it’s something that gets you out of bed in the morning. If you love your soulmate—you’ll always have a partner that can help you and make you laugh. If you are surrounded by love—even the toughest days will end in happiness.”
