Last Minute Father's Day Idea

So, if you really know me, then you know that I am always running late! Late to appointments...late to purchase birthday cards...late to have children... :) (Like they say, "better late than never!" Our motto in the Kueter household for sure!)

So, I came across this great blog that was featuring last minute Father's Day gift ideas. One in particular caught my eye, and I must say, turned out rather well!

Here's my take on a Father's Day photo collage...

For your "photo shoot" you will need...

• Career Props
• 1-Hour Photo Lab or Previously Printed Pics
• Frame

Since our daddy is a fire fighter, I went with retired helmet, fire boots, uniform shirt.

I photographed the kiddos outside against our newly painted white clapboard siding.

Purchased photos on-line through Target/Shutterfly 1-Hour processing.  Purchased frame at Target, too!

 

Now for the finished product....

For the "daddy" that's not a fire fighter the possibilities are endless...

Farmer Dad...how about hay bales, seed packets, cowboy hat/boots?

Lawyer/Judge Dad...stack of law books, gavel, suit coat?

Business Dad...suit coat, tie, briefcase?

Automotive Mechanic Dad...uniform shirt, work gloves, wrench?

Doctor/Nurse Dad...lab coat, stethoscope, rubber gloves (use non-latex to be safe!)?

I think you get the idea!

Here are some pics that didn't quite make the cut!  Still, they're cute and I will probably put them into a little album for the daddy to keep on his desk at work.

I also did a series of bathtub photos that turned out really cute!  Stay tuned for those in an upcoming post.

Our daddy gets a double celebration this weekend...birthday #44 tomorrow and then Father's Day on Sunday!  (He was born on Father's Day in 1967.  What  a wonderful gift for a 1st time Father..my father-in-law Gary who shares a birthday with my son Benjamin!)
