Why I Love Family Photography | June 7 on 7

For this month’s 7 on 7 post, I thought I’d try and explain why I love family photography.  The answer is really very simple….It is because I get to capture these fleeting moments in time for others.  I love that I get the honor of providing a visual time capsule for my clients.  I have the privilege of documenting the love a mother feels for her child, the bond between siblings and the personality of a family….and it means so much to me.

When I get home from a photo shoot, I’m always so excited to look through the images.  I really can’t wait.  And when I scroll through the photos, I find myself smiling and sometimes tearing up because I love the little interactions I was fortunate enough to capture (thank goodness for digital cameras).

I think I get so moved because I’m a mom and I know how fast time flies by.  I miss the days of pushing my kids in swings, of having someone nuzzle in my lap, and of watching my children run in the grass  hand in hand.  And I guess I’m so grateful for this opportunity to relive and capture these moments for my clients like this lovely family below.  This was my third time photographing them and I look forward to many more photo shoots to come.

Now that you have a little more insight into my love of family photography, please click through our blog circle, staring with the beautiful images from Jenny.

So… I turned a pool ring and a bin of old garlands into a Christmas wreath and honestly, I’m feeling pretty proud of myself right now. 😂 Who knew this pink pool float could transform into a holiday wreath?

You know I love photography, but give me a craft project and I get super excited. This little DIY was easy, budget-friendly, and now my barn is looking sooo festive!

✨ Want the steps? I’m happy to share!

Am I the only one NOT ready for Christmas decor yet? 🍂

I’m still enjoying fall colors, pumpkins, and gold candles. It’s hard for me to wrap my head around the fact that Thanksgiving is next week!

I just want to enjoy this season a bit longer before the twinkle lights take over.

Tell me I’m not alone — are you already decorating for Christmas or savoring fall with me? 🤎

Want to know a secret? I’m a big believer in taking little check-in breaks during my branding shoots. It’s a chance for you to catch your breath, see a few images on the back of the camera, and make sure everything feels on track. I want you to love how you look and feel during your session, so these quick pauses help us tweak anything—from hair to posing to the overall vibe. It keeps things relaxed, fun, and totally you.

Ready to get photos you actually love? Let’s get your session booked!
