Why your family deserves portraits more than once a year

We all know the routine. Every fall we scramble for outfits, rush the kids into the car, and make sure everyone is smiling for the annual holiday card. It is special and meaningful, but here is the truth. Your family is growing and changing all year long, not just during the holiday rush. There are so many small moments that deserve to be remembered too.

As a San Diego family photographer, I see how quickly those everyday seasons pass. The gap-toothed grins. The way your toddler holds your pinky. The freckles that show up every summer. The inside jokes. The way your teenagers still lean into you even when they pretend they are too cool. These moments do not wait for November.

Photographing your family throughout the year allows you to remember the story as it unfolds. It lets you capture your normal. Your real connection. The stage your family is in right now. Sessions in the spring or summer give you space to choose locations that feel like home. The beach where your kids play in the waves. The trails where you take family walks. Your cozy living room on a slow morning.

You are allowed to celebrate your family in every season. Not just the one that shows up on a holiday card.

If you have been thinking about scheduling a session, this is your sign. Let’s document your family in a way that feels relaxed and true to who you are.
