Hello Daddy!

 My father gave me the greatest gift anyone could give another person: he believed in me. ~Jim Valvano

It's time to give the father in your life a gift to remember this Father's Day. Since pictures are worth a thousand words, it's the perfect start. There's still time to order a canvas of your favorite fatherhood photograph from Hello Canvas! You've got until June 14th to order to get your canvas delivered in time for Father's Day.

In celebration of all the dads in our lives, we're hosting another mini photo contest. You guessed it; Hello Daddy. Show us your best Daddy shots for a chance to win. You’ve got between now and Sunday night at midnight PST over in our OWP Flickr pool and leave a comment here with a link to your shot. Only one image per person and only those images shared through links in the comments here will be considered. There will be one “Grand Hello” winner that will receive a 36X24 canvas (Hello!) and 2 runners up will win a 20X24 canvas compliments of Hello Canvas, of course! Come on, tug on our heart strings, it's almost Father's Day afterall.

Great idea - Dads are amazing! Capturing shots of my husband and son is my favourite thing about photography.

My Dad has been gone for five years now, but there is not a day I don't think of him. Here's a shot I may have shared already, but it's a favorite.

I never had a daddy in my life but I've always been fascinated by the nature of the relationship.

We're going through some pre-Kindergarten anxiety, but Daddy helped.

Hope you enjoy!

[Trude]

Hope it counts, because this diptych of my dad uses my all-time favorite photos of him. They really show his fun-loving and comedic personality to a 'T'! :)

Laying in the hospital bed just hours after my c-section and still groggy from pain medication, I captured this precious moment as my husband held our newborn daughter for the first time. Hello Daddy!

This is a photo of my daddy, being a grandfather to my two boys. He planted trees in their honour back home in Australia so that they can see how much it's grown each time we head over to visit.

I had a hard time choosing between my dad and my husband. My husband won with this shot of our third (of 4) son giving a high five his dad while dad had a beer by the fire. My boys and I adore my husband!

This is of my favorite photos of my husband and my middle son. It was just one of those moments that I was lucky to catch. It reminds me always how lucky my kids are to have such a creative and awesome father.

But isn't Father's Day next Sunday? Or am I in a lot of trouble?

[Stacie]

I know, fishing is such a Dad thing, almost cliche, but the best times of talking with my father have happened with a fishing pole in our hands. I don't remember the fish, but I sure do remember the talks.

What a wonderful theme! I was so happy to capture this special moment...my Husband and my son... Daddy was talking to him and he reached up, linked with his arm and was listening so closely. It was really sweet!

To my mind, there is little better than the love a little girl has for her daddy -- perhaps only the love that daddy has for his little girl....

This has always been one of my faves - taken just days after I splurged on a new lens that has since brought me many many shots I cherish.

I'm due on Father's Day this year, so I can't help but get a little nostalgic about when my first was so little :O)

[Tracy]

So glad it got me to take some more photos of my daughter and her daddy!
