Why We Always Think We Have More Time for Family Photos

"We'll do them next year."

"I want to lose a little weight first."

"The kids are going through a phase."

As a photographer, I've heard every reason to wait. I understand them because life gets busy.

But here's what I've learned after photographing families for more than a decade...

There is never a perfect time.

Children continue to grow. Families change. Grandparents get older. Babies become toddlers before we realize it.

The photographs you almost didn't take often become the ones you treasure most.

One day your children won't notice whether you had your hair done or whether everyone wore matching outfits. They'll notice that you were there.

This week, I've been putting the finishing touches on something I've been looking forward to sharing. If family photos have been sitting on your "someday" list, keep an eye on my page.

I think you're going to love what's coming Friday.
