Coaching for dads

Get in the picture

Most dads are missing from their own family pictures. It is a habit, and habits can be fixed. Six small ones, free, whether you ever book us or not.

None of these needs a camera.

1

Hand the phone over

You are always the one holding it. Give it to the oldest kid, a friend, a stranger at the next table. Then get in.

2

Do something

Nobody looks right standing still. Hold the kid, the ball, the fishing rod. Give your hands a job.

3

Get down to their height

Kneel, sit, lie on the floor. The picture changes when your faces are level.

4

One a week

Pick a day. One picture a week with you in it. Fifty-two a year beats one school photo.

5

Ask for it

Four words: take one of us. People like being asked. It gets easier every time.

6

Trade pictures

If your kids live in two homes, send the other house your best one of them and ask for one back. The pictures belong to the kids.

The first fifteen minutes is coaching.

You learn it once

Where to stand, what to do with your hands and how to forget the camera.

Your kid learns too

We show the oldest kid how to take a good picture of you. That lasts longer than our shoot.

You keep the card

A pocket card with the six habits goes home with you.

Plan your shoot
