Why Family Portraits are so Important

Do you have a recent family portrait? One that’s recent? As a photographer, I get to capture your family as they are today, and create a family keepsake for you that you will have to cherish years from now after your children are all grown up.

As a parent you know all too well how fast kiddos grow up. I mean, seriously, in the blink of an eye, it’s like they’re getting ready to graduate high school and go out to start their own lives.

Every year or so, by having family portraits done, you can catch those little glimpses of what makes them unique at this age and save it for always. Children change and grow every day, and when we’re right there with them day in and day out, it’s not easy to notice the subtle changes happening all the time.

Remember them as they are now for always, and create a legacy of portraits of them throughout their childhood. What a precious gift for them as they maybe start a family of their own and for future generations.

Childhood is fleeting, but portraits are not.

Take the time to have family portraits done now. They will be priceless to you one day and to your children, and to their children one day.
