here’s to the dads… {Peoria family portraits}
Posted on June 2, 2010
Hey dads!! This month is all about you 
. Well, you and a certain special birthday girl. I wanted to do something to highlight the dads I photograph. There is just something so precious about a father with his children. So precious. And lets face it ~ a photo shoot is generally the very last place any dad wants to be on any given day. Well, throughout June I will be featuring photos of dads doing what they do best and just being dads.
So dads…lets chat. Okay, wait…dad’s don’t chat do they? Right. Let’s shoot the…okay okay, lets just talk. I thought this might be a prime opportunity to show how much fun my dad’s have at their photo shoots. Let me tell you one thing, straight up. If you hide, or turn on that selective hearing thing you guys are all so good at 
whenever the words “family pictures” enter the conversation, don’t worry. You’re not alone. Many many guys out there think that getting family portraits involves matching khaki pants and white button ups, forced smiles and tension you could cut with a knife due to the mad chaotic frenzy that was your family rushing out of the house to a photographer you’ve never met. Dads, I promise you ~ this could not be further from what an Anastasia Marie Photography session is like.
My main goal in every session is to provide your family with treasures ~ images of you just doing your thing and being a family. It really is pretty painless. All i ask you to do is love on your kiddos and have a blast!
So this got me thinking about my past dad clients and their experiences during their shoots. Any of you guys want to chime in with your thoughts? To give you a little incentive, at the end of the month I will round up all of the comments from the dads out there and randomly pick the lucky winner of a free session! So to all the wives out there reading…get your hubbies on here to write a short blurb about their experience!

Well finally someone giving some props to the dads! In our experience, the day we met with Stacy was just another day for us to hang out as a family. Nobody felt pressured or stressed, it was very laid back and I actually had a great time! Thanks Stacy!
What a fabulous post my friend! I love seeing all the Dad/kiddo images.
I had a great time with Stacey. She was able to get great photos without any effort on my part. I was able to sit back and relax with Liam and Stacey took care of the rest.
Stacy helped me feel like a dad right away. We had a session when Dean was only 3 days old and they turned out great. Something about the lighting and just the general way things came together made for some fantastic pictures that will be treasured forever. I couldn’t be more proud of my little guy and Stacy gave us some real good memories to be proud of.
