I am so excited to announce our next contest and even more excited to judge the entries! Curled up and sleeping newborns always look even tinier in their daddy’s arms. We’re looking for a dad to be our male model and in exchange his family will receive a complimentary newborn session. No modeling experience required, but dad does need to be willing to take his shirt off in front of the camera. Man-scaping is welcome! Mom’s, please discuss this with your husbands before submitting your entries or at least before you bring them into the studio on your big day. We do not encourage blindfolding new fathers and bringing them into the studio as a surprise!
