Father’s Day is just around the corner (June 17 for those who still haven’t marked their calendars) and in honor of the special holiday, one photographer has captured the different types of father’s in an adorable photo series.
Giedre Gomes of Cedar Lake, Indiana, wanted to make a photo series to honor great dads that are involved in their children’s lives. And so with the help of her husband, friends, and neighbors she was able to create this project just in time for Father’s day.
She told Bored Panda: ‘Now that I am a mother myself, I watch my husband, my friends’ husbands and see how they interact with their children. I catch myself comparing them with my own father.’
‘It’s funny how different they all are but at the end they love their children unconditionally. I tried to show as many different types of dads as I could possibly think of and give a funny twist to it. Maybe you can relate to some of them too. Enjoy.’
The pictures range from two father’s playing with their daughter while wearing princess crowns and another dad getting his makeup done by his kids to a dad who can be seen lounging on the couch and drinking a beer while holding his kids to another who was pictured playing basketball with his son.
The photographer also takes children, maternity, family, portrait and event photos and posts some of he work to her Instagram and Facebook accounts.
