HER FATHER’S DAY: A Sydney woman has hijacked her family’s Father’s Day lunch as the perfect setting to flaunt her new dress.
Shelley Toulia made her father take part in an intensive 25-minute photo shoot, asking him to “look natural” while also ensuring he didn’t cast a shadow across her waist.
“I just wanted a candid photo that captured our special relationship,” she said, after making him pose for the photos across three different locations.
Ms Toulia eventually selected a photo showing off her entire dress, posted it to Instagram with the caption: “So lucky to have this beautiful man in my life.”
Her dad, who isn’t on Instagram, was then permitted to return to the lunch table.
