Father's Day means something different for everyone.
Those differences are reflected in Instagram's expansive community, where every photographer has a different story to share. So in honor of Sunday's holiday, Mashable asked Instagram to share a few of the platform's most interesting takes on fatherhood.
From dads who've perfected packed lunch as an art form to photographers who explore what childrearing means to both themselves and to other men, these Instagram accounts show fatherhood in its many forms.

2. Zun Lee (@zunleephoto)
Lee is a photographer based in Toronto and NYC known for his intimate and candid portrait photography. His most recent work includes a series titled "Father Figure," for which he's spent years photographic black fathers.
"I hope this work can help question preconceived notions and present a broader context of black fatherhood," he writes on his website. "Perhaps it can serve as a counter-narrative to humanize black men as present and competent fathers in a media climate that largely continues to deny this possibility."

3. Aubrey McCoy (@aubreymccoy)
Nashville photographer McCoy's racked up more than 36,000 followers on Instagram thanks to cool snaps of motorcycles, the great outdoors and, of course, his four adorable kids.
This is my dad and I feel truly blessed to have him in my life. He is one of the most loving, hard working and humble human beings I have ever met. I have learned so much from him over the past 30 years. He has used his experience in life to only teach me how to be a better husband, a better father and a better worker. The photo above was taken last Friday when my dad, Fire Chief Sam McCoy took his grand babies and showed them his old fire truck. Sailor was stoked and judging from the look on my dads face in this photo, he was too. I love you pops. A photo posted by Aubrey McCoy (@aubreymccoy) on Apr 3, 2015 at 3:14pm PDT
