Photographer Phillip Toledano became a father at the age of 40 and fell in love with his daughter about a year and a half later, when he realized she was the most bewitching human being he’d ever seen.
The Reluctant Father follows Phillip’s journey at the beginning of fatherhood.
It’s a raw and honest. And funny. Wish I would have seen this when I was expecting my first child. Buy the book or check out the site.
Thank you for posting this, Tina. I’ve read/heard lots of stories from women about how hard it is having kids, but never a male one, and never one so poignant and we’ll-written. I would have loved reading this during my first year with my son; it’s so powerful to feel that you’re not alone.
Bravo Phillip–and those pictures are breathtaking.
