To be completely honest I have become a HUGE fan of taking family photos at the same location. We have done our family photos at the same location for 3 years now and taking that out of the things to decide and plan makes it that much easier to get those photos done.
This Family has rocked all sorts of locations over the years from Palo Verde Tree-Scaped Desert to Mountains with Aspens and Pines.
Whether you choose the same location year after year or want to mix it up the most important thing is to plan and schedule professional photos each year with your family!
I was taking photos at a church function and someone was dodging out of the picture. I jokingly told them you never know when your last professional photo with someone will be!
Immediately someone walked up and told us a story of how her daughter was having her senior portraits taken and the photographer invited her to jump in one of the photos with her. At first she hesitated because she wasn’t dressed as formally and didn’t have makeup on but the photographer insisted.
Her daughter died a few years later and she explained how glad she was that she had those photos.
I have heard far too many experiences like this to not take pictures with my own family each year!
Every day is a blessing and not a single one is guaranteed.
Have photos taken with your loved ones. Print them and Hang them up or Save them in a book. Invite Grandparents and Great-Grandparents to be there!
This amazing family reminds me year after year that consistency is key and to keep showing up even when it is a little tough!
Here are a few of my favorites:
