Why Family Photos Matter (Even More Than You Think)

I talk a lot about the value of family photos—how they capture love, connection, and the little in-between moments that often pass too quickly. But for me, this isn’t just about beautiful images or memories for the scrapbook. It’s personal.

I lost my mom. And not a day goes by that I don’t wish I had more photos of her—especially with my kids. I would give anything to schedule just one more shoot. One more afternoon of her holding their hands, laughing with them, looking at them the way only a grandmother can. That kind of memory isn’t just a photo—it’s a legacy.

This is why I do what I do.

Family sessions aren’t about being perfectly posed or having coordinated outfits. They’re about freezing time in a way that lasts. Life is uncertain, but we do have today—and the chance to preserve it.

You’re not just booking a session. You’re creating something your kids, your parents, and even your future grandchildren will hold onto.

Photos are a gift—for now, and for later. A way to say, we were here, we loved each other, and this was us.

So if you've been waiting for the "right time" to schedule family photos, I gently urge you not to wait too long. Life moves fast, and the people we love are everything.

Let’s capture them. Let’s capture you.
