Photographer Dave Engledow puts a twist on the regular "happy family" photos you'll find on the internet. This dad snaps photos that will either have you offended or laughing out loud.

Take a look at Engledow Art Photography on Facebook
Dave always has his trusty World's Best Father mug in the shots. Just so that there's no doubt that he's the real deal.

Engledow says, "Since the birth of our daughter Alice Bee in December 2010, the majority of my inspiration has stemmed from creatively documenting the first moments of her life in our family."
Dave Engledow also has a Kickstarter campaign for his very own World's Best Father calendar. It was fully funded within one day!
This photo, titled "Firing up the grill", should resonate with some South African parents...
Dave is always adding more hilarious photos to his Facebook album titled "World's Best Father" (of course).
Engledow has started adding captions to his latest photos. Like for this photo titled 'Stitchin' time': "When Alice Bee bumped her head earlier this week, I decided to save some money by doing the stitches myself--a little Old Granddad to numb the pain, and we were good to go."
Toast master: "When I taught Alice Bee how to make toast for my breakfast, I had no idea she'd take the job so seriously. Apparently, her quality control protocol requires her to sample each piece before putting it on the plate."
Dave even took a stab at Time Magazine's attachment parenting cover story. This photo is called 'Detachment Parenting'.

"I was disappointed that the recent Time magazine article declined to even mention the theory of detachment parenting, which basically involves allowing Alice Bee to do whatever she wants while I pay attention to something else."
Baby Back Ribs: "My wife Jen didn't leave clear instructions on what to feed Alice Bee while she's away. Luckily for me, it turns out she really likes ribs!"

Would you do a creative photo shoot like this with your family?
