Fatherhood in Focus: Kim’s Father’s Day Photography Tips

Since Father’s day is right around the corner, let’s talk about Fatherhood in Focus: Kim’s Father’s Day photography tips in Rangefinder Magazine—helping dads feel comfortable, confident, and connected on camera.

If you’ve ever booked a family session and worried, “My husband isn’t exactly a fan of being in front of the camera”… you’re not alone.

In fact, it’s one of the most common concerns I hear from moms in Coeur d’Alene and beyond. And it’s exactly why I was so honored to share some of my favorite go-to strategies in this recent Rangefinder Magazine feature:

? Four Tips for a Father’s Day Photoshoot Dad Will Look Forward To

Yep, that’s me—spilling secrets on how to make dads feel natural, confident, and even excited about photos (hint: it doesn’t involve matching shirts or fake smiles).

Because here’s the truth: When dads feel like they can just be themselves—with their kids climbing on their shoulders or snuggling on the couch—that’s when the magic happens.

No forced poses. No “cheese.” Just real connection.

For Fatherhood in Focus: Kim’s Father’s Day Photography Tips in the Rangefinder article, I talk about:

• How to keep it short and sweet (and why dads appreciate that more than anyone)
• Why movement and interaction matter more than posing
• Simple ways to help dads feel like the hero of the story (without making them perform)

As a family photographer and mom who’s been doing this for over 17 years, I know that the most meaningful photos don’t happen when everything looks perfect—they happen when you’re present.

And when your kids are grown, I promise you’ll never regret having more photos of Dad being Dad.

Want to capture that kind of connection this summer?

Let’s plan a laid-back session that feels like you—messy love, bad dad jokes, and all. And I hope you all have a wonderful Father’s Day celebrating the supportive and loving father figures in your life!
