Awesome afternoon of fun with our photography students Dads and kids. Watch the video here<\/h5>\n
\u00a0DADS ROCK FUN PHOTO CLASS VIDEO<\/a><\/h5>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Lately, I have been feeling strongly that many families do not have great photos of Dad with the kids.<\/h5>\n
Listening to friends, they tell me that Dad is often the one who is reluctant to come along for a family photo session.<\/h5>\n
Do you agree?<\/h5>\n
Why is that?<\/h5>\n
Look at this pic of Darren and his daughter Amelia on a lovely afternoon on the beach.<\/h5>\n
Big love here!<\/h5>\n
A priceless picture in so many ways.<\/h5>\n
I love this pic and so does Darren.<\/h5>\n
But it was hard work getting Darren to come along to the family photo session in the first place.<\/h5>\n
Now, let’s be obvious, \u00a0if Darren doesn’t come, this photo does not exist!<\/h5>\n
So, why didn’t Darren want to come along?<\/h5>\n
Lisa, his wife, told me:<\/h5>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0He won’t come because he thinks<\/strong> blokes don’t do family photos.<\/h5>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0He won’t come because he thinks<\/strong> he’ll be sitting and posing awkwardly for ages for the photographer.<\/h5>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0He won’t come because he thinks<\/strong> he’ll be getting dressed up in clothes he wouldn’t normally wear -or worse, dressed by ME!<\/h5>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0He won’t come because he thinks<\/strong> the photos will be just like the other family photos you have -so what’s the point in paying for more.<\/h5>\n
So what did we do?<\/h5>\n
We showed<\/strong> him photos of other blokes having fun doing family photos. Like this one!<\/h5>\n
\"Husbands<\/a>
Dad Cam and his family<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
<\/h5>\n
We showed<\/strong> him outdoors photos of Dads not sitting but walking, running, and playing with their kids. Like this one!<\/h5>\n
\"outdoor<\/a>
Shaun, Stephanee and Jayden Roberson having fun outdoors<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
<\/h5>\n
We told<\/strong> him he could wear whatever he felt good in and showed him pics like this.<\/h5>\n
\"outdoor<\/a>
Neil in his fishing gear and daughter Lucy on Fraser Island<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
<\/h5>\n
We showed<\/strong> him very special photos of \u00a0fathers and their kids that were so much more than snapshots.<\/h5>\n
Photos full of love and laughter.<\/h5>\n
\"outdoor<\/a>
John and Kate. Big laughs. Big Love.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

“I can do that.” Darren said.<\/h5>\n
So he came along, wearing what he liked, and had great fun outdoors with the family while I took pictures.<\/h5>\n
And now we have this.<\/h5>\n
\"Husbands<\/a>
Darren and daughter Amelia share a moment of fun on Sandgate Beach<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
This year I am making a point of encouraging a lot more Dads, like Darren, to agree to come along for family photos with me.<\/h5>\n
In fact I have a plan for doing just this.<\/h5>\n
My next Fun Photo Class on Sandgate foreshore\u00a0will be dedicated to teaching my students how to take great pics of Dads and kids together.<\/h5>\n
I will call it Dads Rock Fun Photo Class<\/strong> and I will be getting in a few real Dads and their kids so we will be taking real pics for real families.<\/h5>\n
Don’t worry! If your one of my students on the day I’ll show you what to do. Enormous fun!<\/h5>\n
So I will be recruiting students to take pics and also recruiting Dads and their kids for the afternoon.<\/h5>\n
My students and I will create some beautiful pics to give to our Dads and their families.<\/h5>\n
\"Dad<\/a>
Fun Photo Class on Sandgate Foreshore\"\"<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
The really good pics taken by my photography students will be included in my photography exhibition in the Bluewater Festival Art Trail this year.<\/h5>\n
This Fun Photo Class will be free for students and Dads and kids who come along but there will be a limit on numbers attending.<\/h5>\n
So it’s fair, I will draw names, from all those who have been nominated,\u00a0out of\u00a0my Out n About hat.<\/h5>\n
I will let you know if you have been successful.<\/h5>\n

It will be on Saturday March 18 from 4pm because its low tide. Beautiful!<\/h4>\n

Put it in your Calendar now.<\/h5>\n
I\u00a0have\u00a0\u00a0created an event on my\u00a0Facebook Out ‘n’ About page to let you know.<\/h5>\n
You can message me there too.<\/h5>\n
Who wants to come?<\/h5>\n
