Why you don’t need family photos this year
Family photos are such a waste of time and money. This time that you’re going through right now is going to drag on for so long that you can put those photos off until next year, or the year after that. Shoot, wait until college when the kids can help pitch in! The little giggle your son does when you put your forehead to his will last his whole life. The way your daughter runs up to you with open arms and melts right into you will last well into her 20s. Your spouse will be carrying your kids and they will be snuggling up with them when they are 15,16, and 17. There is no need to get these photos done right now.
If you’ve gotten this far, you realize this I am being sarcastic. I truly understand wanting to put family photos, or any photos (pregnant moms and newborn moms I am looking at you) off until a more convenient time, but here is the thing. It will NEVER be convenient. It won’t! By the time it is easy and convenient, you will have missed the sweetest moments that you never wanted to forget. Think right now about the little things your kids do that melt your heart. Now think about the fact that the time they do those things are so short and fleeting. The time will pass and things will change and you’ll look back and you won’t remember the chaos (at least not all of it), but you will want to remember the sweet moments that make all the crazy times worth it.
But don’t take it from me (obviously I think you should get family photos done), let’s hear what my past clients have to say:
“I had no intentions of getting maternity photos done, but last minute decided it was something I wanted to remember. Now that my babies are older I am so grateful to have these photos Laura took. She made me feel beautiful and I still feel that looking back on these pictures. If you’re on the fence about it, just get them done! You will be glad you did!”
So if you haven’t booked a session yet, the good news is it is not too late!! Reach out today and we can make something work for you and your family.
