“That wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be.”
Now that might not sound like a compliment, but it really is music to my ears. Some of the best validation of what I do as a family and newborn photographer is when I leave a session and dad is happy.
Let’s be completely honest. A majority of the time I am hired because mom loves my work and she is excited about the session. Dads? They are just along for the ride. I am truly not trying to lump all dads together, but that has been my experience with clients and my own husband. So I try to get them in and out of the pictures while making a few jokes along the way.
“You really have a great personality for this.”
“That was actually tolerable.”
Yes, I will accept those compliments any day of the week and twice on Sunday. Now moms gush over their slideshows & images, telling me they cried while sometimes admitting dad did too. It can be our little secret dads.
Happy Father’s Day to all the men I have had the pleasure of photographing with their children this year.
I love my job.
