This photoshoot wasn’t what I had originally planned on, but it ended up being lots of fun. I was expecting most of my shots to be candid, but after following Robert and the family around, it became evident that “picture-perfect moments” just don’t happen easily by themselves. It didn’t mean I had to pose every photo, but asking Robert to intentionally interact with the kids, and sometimes telling them to do specific things or stand in specific places helped me get better shots. That one shot with the parakeet is definitely my favorite! She got the bird, I asked Robert to get on his knees, and it worked out really nicely.

Should the pictures have space for words, like the Mother’s day ones that we shot for the Family Conference?
-HannahIt would be a good idea to include space for words, @blessingscaptured!
I tried for a slightly old-fashion look. The only light was backlit window light.

I’m excited to see how everyone will photograph this assignment! I went with the “tools and masculinity” part. 🙂

I’m hoping to still participate in this assignment. Even though I have 8 siblings and 5 younger brothers, I still haven’t had many ideas until now. I have an idea of photographing my dad at work, which would be cool.
@jenna I really like your photos! It gives me the impression of a dad at a job site, working to provide for his family. Your pictures gave me the idea, so I’ll see if it works.-Jerrell
That’s a great idea, @jerrell! Doing something together hands on with his sons would be a great way to picture fatherhood.
If it’s helpful for anyone, here are some posed and candid ideas of fathers with young children from my portfolio.

I used concrete as the background. This way I have plenty of space to work and not be concerned with seeing the edge of a board.
“Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD…” (Psalm 127:3a).I find this verse fitting for this assignment.

Because my first set up with coffee bean seemed a little unrealistic, I tried other shoots. My brother was a great helper. He enjoyed reading the Bible while I snapped away. Is his shirt filling too much of the frame and thus being a distraction?
