- 1). Choose a photographer for your picture. The photographer should specialize in the specific type of picture that you are planning to create. For example, some photographers are better at landscapes while others specialize in family portraits. Alternatively, stage the photo yourself. Choose a location that will give your picture a pretty background, such as a local park. Use a camera on a tripod that is equipped with a timer so that you can take the pictures yourself.
- 2). Set up an appointment with the photographer. Alternatively, set the date to take the photos yourself. Let others know about it if you plan to have them in the photo with you.
- 3). Visualize the final photo. For example, decide if you want the picture to be close up or distant. Some women opt for pictures of themselves wearing revealing outfits, especially if their husbands travel often. Alternatively, have pictures of your children made for him as a Father's Day gift. A picture of a favorite pet is another idea. If you need props, like special outfits, go ahead and prepare those. Consider choosing bright colors for your clothing, especially if you choose a background with sedate colors.
- 4). Go to the photo session and take the pictures. Take several photos of each setting or pose so that you have some to choose from.
- 5). Select a picture after the proofs come back.
- 6). Place the picture in a frame, gift wrap it and give it to him.
