6 Reasons to Book a Father’s Day Portrait Session This Year

Dads often shy away from the spotlight. They’re the background guys—fixing, building, cheering from the sidelines. But when was the last time Dad stepped in front of the camera?

Father’s Day is the perfect moment to change that.

At Photos by Cheryl, we believe in capturing the people who matter most, as they are, right now. Whether he’s a new dad, seasoned grandpa, or the bonus dad who chose to show up—he deserves to be remembered.

Here’s why this Father’s Day is the time to schedule a portrait session for the guy who never asks for much.

1. Dads Deserve to Be Seen

Fathers are often the unsung heroes of family life. They quietly support from the sidelines, jumping into action when needed—but rarely asking for attention.

That’s exactly why this matters.

Photos offer something deeper than just a smiling face. They show connection. Legacy. Love. A portrait session lets Dad be seen in a way that’s meaningful—not just for him, but for the whole family.

2. He’s Been There for Every Milestone—Let’s Capture That

We document our kids’ milestones religiously. First steps, first birthdays, first dances. But what about Dad’s journey?

From first-time fatherhood to holding his first grandchild, his role evolves with each season. A portrait session is a way to honor the full arc of his fatherhood—the growth, the love, the everyday magic.

Because every chapter deserves a portrait

3. It’s Not About Fancy Poses or Stiff Smiles

If you’ve ever tried to wrangle Dad for a photo, you know the sighs. The eye rolls. The classic, “Do we really need to do this?”

Here’s the secret: he doesn’t have to perform.

Photos by Cheryl sessions are low-key, comfortable, and designed to feel like real life. No awkward posing. Just real connection, real laughs, and photos that feel true to who he is.

4. A Gift That Lasts Forever

Socks wear out. Grills rust. But a beautiful photo? That’s a Father’s Day gift he’ll cherish for decades.

A framed portrait of him with the kids. A candid moment captured in his favorite park. A generational photo featuring grandpa, dad, and grandkids all together.

These are the kinds of gifts that outlast trends. They become part of the home. Part of the legacy.

.5. Every Father Figure Matters

This day is for more than just biological dads.

It’s for the stepdads who stepped up. The uncles who never missed a birthday. The grandfathers who shared their wisdom. The coaches and mentors who filled that space with quiet strength and unconditional love.

Whoever plays the father role in your life—this is a beautiful way to honor them.

.6. You’ll Never Regret the Photos You Take

The most common thing I hear after a shoot?

“I didn’t know I needed this so badly.”

The smiles. The hugs. The subtle moments you didn’t know were important until they were frozen in time. A Father’s Day session isn’t just about pictures—it’s about appreciation. It’s a visual thank-you that lives on, long after the moment passes.
