Jason Lee is not only a talented wedding photographer, but quite possibly the most creative father too.

According to his interview in The Daily Mail, Jason Lee was inspired to begin taking photos documenting his two daughters, five-year-old Kayla and eight-year-old Kristin, when his mother was diagnosed with non-Hodgkins lymphoma in 2006. Wanting his mom to be able to see her granddaughters without catching their germs, he started photo documenting their lives and posting the creative pics on kristinandkayla.blogspot.ca.

According to Bored Panda, most of the ideas for these creative shoots come from his daughters.

The solution?  Ergotron’s WorkFit.

Truthfully, who doesn’t want to perform a synchronized workstation dance begun by the alarm of an 80s calculator watch?? Err…
