Why Now Is the Perfect Time for a Family Photo Session
“I’ll book it when life slows down.”
“Maybe after I lose the baby weight.”
“Let’s wait until the toddler phase passes.”
Sound familiar? As a photographer (and as someone who totally gets it), I hear this all the time. But here’s the truth: there will never be a “perfect” moment… which is exactly why now is the perfect time for a family photo session.
Your kids are only this little once. Whether your toddler just learned to run, your preschooler is missing their two front teeth, or your teen is somehow taller than you overnight—these stages pass in a blink. A photo session lets you capture those in-between, everyday moments that become your most treasured memories. The silly faces, the snuggles, the way they reach for your hand without thinking.
And let’s not forget about the season itself. Summer is made for memory-making. Long, warm evenings and golden sunsets create the dreamiest backdrops. The kids are out of school, schedules are a little more flexible, and no one has to bundle up in 17 layers. It’s the perfect time to run barefoot in the grass, cuddle up for some golden-hour glow, and just be together.
Maybe you’ve welcomed a new baby, celebrated a milestone, or finally have your whole family in one place. Whatever the reason—or even if there’s no “reason” at all—this season of your life matters. It’s worth remembering.
And no, you don’t need to wait until everything is perfect. You don’t need new outfits, perfect hair, or to be at your “ideal” anything. Your kids won’t remember any of that. They’ll remember that you were there, loving on them, laughing, holding them close. That’s what makes a photo truly beautiful.
Someday, you’ll look back on these images and be so glad you made time for them. The best time to document your family’s love is always right now.
