Included in this month’s issue of OUT Magazine is an editorial spread affectionately titled "Baby Daddy."
For the hottest new male models who just so happen to be fathers, this is really a chance to shine. Among the hot daddies are Seijo Imazaki and Oraine Barrett of Major Models, Noah Mills of Wilhelmina, and Reid Prebenda of Red Models New York.
The spread was styled by Grant Woolhead and shot by Matthias Vriens McGrath, and shows the daddies in sharp suits and classic coats.
The babies (except for one or two) have only their diapers to wear--which is probably why most of them look confused or upset.
