Life moves fast. One minute, you’re chasing little feet around the house, and the next, they’re packing for college. Time has a funny way of slipping through our fingers, and too often, we don’t realize how much has changed until we’re looking back at old photos, wishing we had taken more.

As a photographer (and as a fellow procrastinator), I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard someone say, “We really need to take family photos… but we’ll do it next year.” And then next year comes, and life gets even busier, and suddenly, years have passed without capturing the people who mean the most to you.

So if this has been on your heart (or your to-do list for way too long), here are three important reasons why you shouldn’t wait to take family photos.

1. Life Changes Fast—Capture It While You Can

Kids grow, grandparents age, and life moves at a speed we can’t slow down. The truth is, there’s never a “perfect” time to take family photos. There will always be busy schedules, unfinished to-do lists, and reasons to put it off. But when you look back, you’ll never regret taking the time to freeze this moment in your family’s journey.

Whether it’s capturing the sweet chaos of life with young kids, the rare but precious multi-generational photo with grandparents, or simply celebrating the love that holds your family together, these photos will become some of your most treasured keepsakes.

2. Moms Deserve to Be in the Photos

If you’re anything like most moms, you’re the one taking all the photos—snapping candids of the kids, capturing memories from behind the camera. But when was the last time you were in the photos?

This Mother’s Day, give yourself (or the moms in your life) a gift that lasts forever—a beautiful, joy-filled family session that captures the love and connection you share. I promise it will be fun, relaxed, and completely worth it. And to make it even sweeter, if you book your session by May 1st, 2025*, I’ll gift you a FREE 8x10 print—because these moments deserve to be displayed, not just stored on your phone.

3. Your Future Self Will Thank You

Someday, these photos will be more than just images; they’ll be memories. They’ll be the way your kids remember their childhood, the way you remember this season of life, and the way your family’s love story is told for generations to come.

The best time to take family photos? Right now. Don’t wait for the “perfect” moment—because this moment, just as it is, is already perfect in its own way.
