Why You Should Make Family Photos a Priority

Getting everyone together (and presentable) for family photos is without a doubt one of the hardest things you’ll ever have to do as a parent.

No, really - it’s just about as hard as navigating the streets of New York without a map… or learning to ski in the summer. Thankfully, with the help of your handy dandy professional photographers, family photos are finally possible!

HERE ARE 5 WAYS PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHERS CAN HELP YOU CAPTURE THE VERY BEST FAMILY PHOTOS EACH AND EVERY YEAR! #WeGotThis

1. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS SHOW UP; WE’VE GOT THE REST!

Your job is to wrangle up the kiddos, get them dressed, and head over to the photoshoot location (which could totally be your own home). That’s it!

From there, it’s our job to capture the unique personality your family brings. And hey, sometimes the best photos are the ones where your family is just being themselves! So, don’t stress parents… we are all in this together!

2. YEARLY PHOTOS HELP CAPTURE THE INCREDIBLE GROWTH OF YOUR FAMILY

Time flies when you’re having fun (or raising kids). It’s not until they’re all grown that you realize how much has changed! Do yourself a huge favor and schedule in just one day each year for family photos.

Maybe your family isn’t the “posing” type… embrace that! Perhaps you should start a fun family tradition and dress up as your favorite characters, or reenact Jurassic Park together (if that’s more your style). While you do you, we’ll be behind the camera capturing these precious moments for you to cherish for years to come.

3. NOW THE CHRISTMAS CARD IS DONE!

Most of us parents don’t have the time or energy to bust out yearly family photos and Christmas card photos each year. Save yourself some time and reuse your yearly family photos on the annual Christmas card. That’s one and done! A double whammy!

4. YOUR PHOTOS WILL BE FAMILY HEIRLOOMS FOR GENERATIONS TO COME.

Let’s be real. We all thoroughly enjoyed seeing our parents’ baby photos or better yet… their cheesy prom photos! Every single family out there cherishes and rejoices over their family photos year after year. The photos you take now are more than just a Christmas card or birthday celebration - they’re family heirlooms for years to come.

That’s the incredible thing about photos - they last generation after generation and tell the story of your family and what your life was all about. Let us help you capture the things that make your family… well, your family!

5. HAVE A FUN FAMILY DAY OUT ON THE TOWN (+ MAKE SURE IT GETS CAPTURED!)

For many parents, summer is just a little too long! Make the most of this summer and take your family out for a day on the town. Even better? Hire your favorite photographer(s) to document your day out! The kids won’t even realize they’re posing for this year’s Christmas card as they go about their fun-filled day. It’s a win-win for all of us!

We feel you. Raising a family is difficult. Especially during times like these.

Cherish these precious moments and memories with your family, even when the day feels like it’s never going to end. And there’s no need to wait for your session with your photographer to capture life’s greatest moments… whip out that smartphone!

Raising a family is the best thing about life and it brings forth so many laughs, embarrassing stories, and happy tears. These moments are worth remembering… let us help you with that.
