Don’t Wait to Book Family Photos – Here’s Why

I know how easy it is to put off family photos. Life is busy, the kids are growing fast, and there’s always something that feels more urgent. Maybe you’re waiting for the perfect time—when you lose a few pounds, when the kids are in a less chaotic stage, when life slows down just a little. I get it. But here’s the thing: there will never be a perfect time. And that’s exactly why now is the best time.

Right Now Is Worth Remembering

It’s tempting to think, next year will be better. Maybe it will! But I promise you, you’ll never regret having photos of this season—the messy, beautiful, real moments of your life right now. The way your toddler’s curls bounce when she laughs. The way your little boy still holds your hand without thinking about it. The way your family just is together, right in this moment.

Your Kids Won’t Care About “Perfect”

I hear it all the time—I just need to lose a little weight first. Or I’ll wait until I find the perfect outfits. But when your kids look back at these photos years from now, they won’t see any of that. They’ll see you. They’ll see the love, the laughter, the way you held them close.

You deserve to be in photos with your family. Not just taking them on your phone, not just waiting for the “right” moment. Just as you are.

Life Moves Fast—Capture It Now

One of the most common things I hear from parents after a session is, I’m so glad we did this. They weren’t sure if their kids would cooperate. They weren’t sure if they would like how they looked. But once they see the photos, all they can think is, This is us. This is our life, and I’m so happy we have these memories.

The truth is, the years go by faster than we think. The tiny hands, the silly giggles, the way they snuggle into your arms—it all changes before you know it. Photos freeze those moments so you can hold onto them forever.

Let’s Make It Happen

If you’ve been waiting for the “right” time, this is your sign to stop waiting. Let’s make it happen! Reach out to schedule your family session—I’d love to capture this season for you.

    Photos are beautiful, but video brings it all to life. The movement, the laughter, the way they connect… it’s so special in it’s own way.

This is just a little teaser from their family film - can’t wait to share the full video later this week!

    She’s the one always taking the photo…
But rarely in it.

A family session is more than a sweet gift for Mother’s Day - it’s a way to freeze this season in time and give her something that actually lasts. It’s a chance for her to be seen and celebrated with the people she loves most.

You can book a session now or grab a gift certificate so she can schedule it when the timing feels right.

    Okay… this little smirk just about did me in.

Sometimes during newborn sessions, I’ll just wait and watch - everything calm and quiet - and hope a little something shows up.

There it was, that little moment I was hoping for. She nailed it.
