When Should You Schedule Your Next Family Photo Session?

As a mom of three, I can confidently say that it’s really true what they say… our children grow up right before our eyes. My youngest will be starting preschool this fall. I can’t even believe it. So many families reach out to me to take their photos because they realize how quickly the time is going with their children. Some clients wonder when it’s the best time to take family photos. 
If you’re on the fence about when you should schedule your family photo session, I offer you five reasons to schedule them now below.

5 Reasons to Schedule Your Family Photo Session Now ​

1. Beat the Fall Rush - Lots of families think about taking photos in the fall. It’s a new school year, the holidays are coming, and you need an official family portrait for the Christmas card. However, taking your family portrait in summer or even spring can be perfect for your family. Fall tends to get really busy with school, sports, and everything in between. Summer tends to be more relaxed for families. Plus, you’ll be able to beat the fall portrait rush. ​

2. Photos with Your Children - As moms, we are the memory-keepers of the family. We are the ones dutifully taking photos, writing in their baby scrapbooks, and managing our families. What’s missing from all the photos you take of your children? You! You are missing from the images. Professional family photos ensure that you are in the photos with your children. They will treasure these images forever. ​

3. Portraits are on the Wall Sooner - Maybe you have a blank wall where you dream of hanging a family portrait. Maybe you want a family gallery wall but don’t know where to start. My full-service family photography process takes care of everything from start to finish, including designing, printing, and displaying your family portraits. The sooner we schedule your family portrait session, the sooner your dream portraits are on the walls!

4. Studio Portraits - We truly can’t depend on the Colorado weather. Yes, we live in a beautiful area, but things happen. You can feel confident scheduling your studio family photo session because we won’t need to reschedule due to the weather. We can find the perfect time for your busy family without worrying about the weather!

5. Don’t Wait Until… - There are so many reasons to wait for family photos. You might want to wait until your child’s braces come off, your schedule calms down, you lose those last 5lbs, etc. My advice is not to wait. Your family is absolutely perfect, just the way they are right now. You’ll never regret taking family photos. Your children think you’re perfect now. They’ll never look back on portraits and think you should have lost 5lbs; they’ll just treasure the photo with their mom. And you’ll love the photo of your child in braces. It’ll freezeframe this sweet moment for you to look back on over the years. ​
