5 Reasons to Book Family Photos This Year
As a mom (and now a grandma!) I completely understand how fast life moves. One minute you’re holding a toddler on your hip, and the next they’re suddenly asking for the car keys. It’s so easy to push family photos to the back burner, telling yourself “next year will be better.” But let me share something I’ve learned over years of photographing families: you will never regret having photos of your family… but you might regret not having them. Here’s why this year—yes, this one—is the perfect time to make it happen.
Your Babies Won’t Stay Little
I know it’s a cliché, but it’s true: they really do grow up in the blink of an eye. The baby rolls, the gap-toothed grins, the way they grab your hand without thinking—all of it changes faster than you realize. Booking family photos isn’t about getting “Pinterest perfect” portraits. It’s about freezing those little details that are so easy to forget later. Years from now, you’ll look back and be so thankful you hit pause on your busy life long enough to capture this season.
There’s No Such Thing as “The Perfect Time”
I hear it all the time:
“We’ll book photos once I lose the baby weight.”
“Let’s wait until we’re less busy.”
“We’re remodeling the house, let’s do it after.”
Here’s a little secret: there’s no such thing as perfect. The perfect time is now—because your family, just as they are, is already perfect. Your kids don’t care if your hair isn’t exactly how you want it or if your living room wall isn’t painted yet. What they’ll remember is how it felt to laugh with you during that session.
Photos Are for Your Kids Too
As parents, we often think about photos as something for us—to post on Instagram or hang on the wall. But years from now, your children will treasure seeing themselves in your arms, surrounded by love. Photos are one of the few things that grow in value as time passes. They’ll remind your kids how loved they’ve always been.
They Make Your House Feel Like a Home
There’s something special about walking past a framed family photo every day. It doesn’t just decorate your walls—it fills your home with memories and love. Whether it’s a canvas of your kids giggling together or a photo book you flip through on rainy days, these photos tell your family’s story in a way no store-bought art ever could.
One Day, Photos Are All That’s Left
I know it’s a little heavy, but it’s true: the seasons fly by, and life changes in ways we can’t predict. Family photos let you hold on to those moments forever. The silly faces, the way your daughter’s curls framed her face, the way your son’s tiny hand fit perfectly in yours… these are the things you’ll want to remember years from now.

You don’t need a “special occasion” to have family photos taken. The love you share right now is reason enough. Let’s create timeless, joy-filled images your family will treasure forever.
