Dad’s are pretty special guys. Whether they are getting make-overs from 5 year old little girls or hauling stinky sports gear around in their vehicles, they are always going above and beyond to make sure their “littles” are happy and taken care of. But it can be hard to know what to get that special guy to show him how special he is when Father’s Day rolls around!

The gift of Memories:

I love personal gifts and as a photographer, of course my favorite personal gifts usually involve photographs. Put together a collage of your favorite “dad moments” and memories throughout the years. Maybe pick one or two special photos for canvases or framed art. Make a calendar for him to use at work so he can have a little bit of family with him even when he isn’t home, or maybe a personalized planner, address book or notebook. Photo blankets are a great way for dad to keep his favorite memories close to his heart too! Here are a couple of my favorite places for personalized gifts for dad:
