The Father’s Day gift he’ll treasure forever (hint: it’s not socks)
Father’s Day is just around the corner and if you’re like many of the thoughtful mums I work with, you want a gift that actually means something.

Not another mug, not another pair of socks. Something lasting (but also maybe socks… stay with me here)
Here’s an idea: a photo session that captures the connection between a dad and the people who love him most.
Whether it’s a few quiet moments with a newborn on his chest, rough and tumble play with toddlers on the lounge room floor, or the way your kids look up at him like he’s their whole world, these are the memories that matter.
Dads love being in the image too
Why this gift works (even for the guy who “hates having his photo taken”):
• It’s done in the comfort of home. No stiff poses or studio lights.
• It’s short, relaxed, and led by your family’s natural rhythm.
• He doesn’t need to do anything but show up and be himself.
• It’s not about perfection - it’s about presence.
You’ll come away with a gallery of beautiful, natural family photos that tell your story. The kind you’ll treasure for decades, and your kids will love even more as they grow.
I’m all for the mamas, but I have to agree that fatherhood deserves to be documented.
Dads often fly under the radar when it comes to family photos. They’re usually the ones behind the scenes or reluctantly dragged in front of the camera. But their presence in these early years is something to be honoured and remembered.
This Father’s Day, give him a gift that celebrates his role, one that reminds him how loved he is, not just now but years from now too.
