As a new mom, your life has been turned upside down as you struggle to form a new routine with baby.  The same goes for the new dad.  As Father’s Day approaches, give him a gift that will let him know that, just because your lives are changing doesn’t mean that he’s not as important to you as he once was.  And what better way to show how much you care than by creating a lasting memory â€" a beautiful photo to canvas print from Canvas Press.

The process is simple and the finished canvas will be delivered to your door.  This is a definite bonus for new parents because it means you don’t have to go to the trouble of an outing with baby to pick up the gift.  Another great thing is that, if you or someone you know has a digital camera, you won’t even have to leave the house.
Here’s one idea to get your mind going.  Call a friend or family member and schedule a day that they can come over to your house and take some pictures while dad is out.  Scheduling the time in advance and setting the person’s expectations correctly about the amount of time they will need to stay will help you tremendously in the long run.  Another trick is to schedule the time for the photo shoot around baby’s schedule and not necessarily your own.  Try to pick a time when baby is most active and playful so that they will be awake for the images.  If the baby is under three months, this isn’t nearly as important.

Once you have the time scheduled, work on getting everything else ready.  Where are you going to take the pictures?  Do you need to move any furniture or pictures off the wall before the shoot?  Clothing is also important.  Solid colored clothes will look best in the photos as prints tend to make the images look cluttered.  Check your outfit well in advance and make sure everything fits and is exactly the way you want it.  Check baby’s outfit a day or two ahead to make sure it fits as well.  Babies tend to go through growth spurts and you want to allow yourself a little time in case you need to run out and get a larger size.

When the day of your shoot arrives, you will be all set and ready for the person taking the pictures.  It will be less stressful for them because you will have all the details seen to and they can concentrate on taking really good pictures.  Once you have the shots, pick the one you like the best and upload it to www.canvaspress.com.  Using their easy to follow instructions, your Father’s day gift for the new dad in your life will be simple and perfect.
