Dads can inspire giggles and joy just by walking into a room. They’re creative, uninhibited with kids, and playfully rough. Get your cameras ready..here are 14 ways to get active with your family while creating memories and capturing great photos that show off dad’s best qualities – just in time for Father’s Day!
