Family photography with young children is a wonderful way to capture the essence of one of life’s most cherished phases. There is nothing quite like the period of time in life when you have young children. It seems like one milestone after the next keeps coming along during this phase, and while there are plenty of challenges to be overcome, these are years you’ll remember for a lifetime.
For every parent, the feeling that time is just slipping away is one that is unpleasant and frustrating. There isn’t anything we can do to slow down the passing of the days and years, but we can capture some of the best moments through family photography with young children. I’d love to work with you to grab on to some of these moments and make them last forever – reach out today to get started!
Why Family Photography Matters
It’s simply impossible to remember everything that happens in life on a day-to-day basis. With all that is going on, from work and school to hobbies and more, things will feel like a blur at various times. Family photography with young children is important because it grabs various snapshots of these important points in your life and preserves them for you to look back on later with fondness.
You might struggle to appreciate in the moment just how valuable these photos will be to you later on. Decades from now, even after your children have gone on to have children of their own, you’ll be able to look back at these images – whether they are framed on the wall or collected in albums – and smile while discussing your memories with other family members. These kinds of moments are a big part of why I am so proud to do the work that I do.
How I Approach Family Photography
Good family photography is about creating a comfortable, welcoming environment for everyone to feel comfortable and relaxed. I want to capture the authentic interactions between members of your family, so the pictures will ring true to whoever sees them later. Far from trying to subdue the excited, chaotic nature of kids, I love to embrace their reality and allow them to be themselves as they allow me to take pictures that will turn into prized possessions.
What to Expect During Your Session
One of the most important parts of your session will happen before the session even arrives – we’ll talk about your goals for the pictures and what you want to get from this project. In getting to know you and your family, I’ll be able to make suggestions about the session that will help it reach its full potential.
When the day arrives, you should be able to relax and enjoy the experience. The planning we did, and the leadership I bring to the session, will put you at ease and make it easy for the best possible pictures to be taken.
Building a Legacy of Memories
Memories are what pictures are all about. Family photography allows you to have pictures in your collection that you’ll look back on a year from now – and 50 years from now. You can also pass along images to your kids, and even their kids. This is the kind of thing that you do now and appreciate it for a lifetime to come.
Let’s Capture Your Story
Your children will never again be as young as they are today. The time is now to schedule a session with a professional photographer to capture everything that is magical about this phase of life. I would be honored to play a role in this process, and with my extensive experience working with families throughout the San Jose area, you can trust you’ll be in good hands.
