Family portraits are something most of us think about pretty often, when our kids are babies and toddlers. As they get older, though, it seems we do family portraits less and less often. Maybe it’s because the changes we see in them aren’t as quick as when they were young or maybe it’s because life is busier or simply because it’s more work as they get older. Whatever the reason, though, I am here to remind you that it’s important to photographer your children (and your family), even as they get older. As a mom with three teenagers (they’ll be 14, 18, and 20 within the next few months!), who definitely slowed down and capturing photos of her kids as they gold older, I can say that I wish I had kept on shooting, like I did when they were two.

Photographs are important to this family and I’m honored to have been photographing them for years and years (I even did an amateur maternity session when Mama was pregnant with the oldest)! They’ve been through a lot, but they just keep on going…with smiles on their faces!
