Truly there is nothing more special or amazing than the connection between a father and his child.  It is one of my favorite things to capture through my lens, and my heart does a little skip each time I know I’ve documented something so special.  That moment when a dad lets down his guard and truly enjoys his child – it’s one for the record books, and it’s something that makes my heart weep with joy.

My favorite musician is John Mayer.  He lured me in years ago with a song called Daughters, and I believe the words are perfect for today.

“Fathers, be good to your daughters, daughters will love like you do  |  Girls become lovers who turn into mothers, so mothers, be good to your daughters too.”

Sons or daughters – the concept is the same.  We are raising our children to be these amazing and incredible people, and on days like today, I love to remember the moments I’ve captured – showcasing that incredible love between a father and his little ones.  There is nothing sweeter.

Happy Father’s Day.

Quote for the day – two for today – couldn’t decide!!

He didn’t tell me how to live; he lived, and let me watch him do it.

~Clarence Budington Kelland

My father used to play with my brother and me in the yard.  Mother would come out and say, “You’re tearing up the grass.”  “We’re not raising grass,” Dad would reply.  “We’re raising boys.”
