Greetings Fellow Photographers!

Fathers Day is approaching fast and I wanted to give you a few ideas on what to get Dad this year. Ties, socks, and tools are great, but a unique, one-of-a-kind photo gift will really mean a lot to him. Here are some ideas:

Photograph your father or husband doing something he loves to do. What is he most proud of? What is something he truly enjoys? Try to covertly photograph him fishing, biking, hiking, golfing, playing with the kids, hanging out with his friends, or partaking in any other hobby. Once you have the picture, think about how he would like it portrayed. Mouse pads and mugs are always popular gift ideas, as are framed enlargements. Browse the Gifts tab in your online account for other unique gift options. 

Another great gift idea is to find some rare old family photos, frame them, and give them to Dad. Or, take it up a notch with an enlargement or canvas print, which you can order from your online account. Look especially for photos of his dad and grandfather, or for pictures of him as a kid with his dad. Take his childhood photo and frame it side by side with a photo of him with the kids. The significance of this gift will be very special to him.  

Pictures of Dad with his newborn(s) are also very meaningful, no matter what age the kids are now. No father forgets those first few weeks bonding with his child, and a photo allows those memories to live in his heart forever. Your online photo account has the perfect gift or print size to complement whichever picture you decide to use.
