Happy Farters* Day! This is fatherhood in real moments

*My son’s idea – he thought this was way funnier than anything I had planned!

This Sunday, it’s the dads’ turn to be celebrated and remembered (though you might want to remind your kids).

So, what tokens of love are you hoping for? An apron that says best dad in the world, some novelty socks or pants, a few favourite beers, or maybe a shiny silver keyring engraved with love you daddy?

Or perhaps something more timeless – a framed photograph of you and your child, capturing a real, fleeting moment.

It might seem like a simple gift now, but that one photograph will outlast every novelty trinket. Over the years, its emotional value will grow – a window back to a moment that will never come again. Look at it now, in five years, in ten – a lifetime from now.

Capturing these moments is what excites me. I specialise in candid, documentary-style family photography, storytelling through the lens. No posing, no pressure. Just real life, as it happens – honest, raw, and full of emotion.

Think of it as photojournalism for family life: the joyful chaos, the tiny gestures, the quiet hugs, the daily magic. It’s a family fingerprint, unique and impossible to recreate.

If we’re lucky, we have 18 summers with them; they grow up fast. Blink and they're gone.

That’s why capturing these small moments with a simple photograph matters so much.

Enjoy your Sunday with your kids, happy Farters Fathers Day.
