Why Family Photos Matter - Especially with Young Children

Why Family Photos Matter

 

As a mama of two young children, I am so unbelievably aware of the fact that life with little ones is a blur—long days, short years, and a never-ending to-do list. In the midst of the chaos, it’s easy to put off things like family photos. But here’s the truth: you’ll never regret having these moments documented — at least I never have! Consider the reasons below as your motivation to get yourself and your beautiful fam in front of a camera together.

 

Because Your Children Won’t Stay This Little Forever

The way your toddler grabs your hand, the way your newborn fits perfectly on your chest—these tiny details change faster than we realize. Photos freeze those moments, giving you something to hold onto long after they’ve grown. Feel like you have a wild child? Don’t let that hold you back. Family photography sessions can be a fun way for you to spend some quality time with your loved ones! We can work together to choose the right location with plenty of open space for running and minimal distraction! Also - I have a wild child myself, so I’m well seasoned in that area :)

You, Mama, Deserve to Be in your Family Photos

If you’re anything like me, YOU are the one taking all of the photos! We are the ones behind the camera, capturing milestones and everyday magic. But your kids will want to see you in these photos too. They’ll want to remember the way you held them, the way you looked at them with love, the way you were there—always. Plus - if YOU want these photos and are excited about them, your kids will follow suit.

Real Life in Vermont is Beautiful

You don’t need perfect outfits or a posed smile. Some of my favorite sessions happen on a breezy hillside or in a cozy Vermont living room—giggles, messy hair, and all. It’s not about perfect—it’s about real. Together, we will make your vision come to reality, even if that means we are using your backyard for our session! This state is gorgeous without even trying — plus, this is where you’re from and a place you should be proud of!

They Become your Family’s Legacy

Digital, printed or framed, these photos will be passed down. Someday, your kids will show them to their kids—and they’ll get to see the love they came from.
