5 Reasons You Should Book Yearly Family Photos | Calgary Photographer

When was the last time you had family photos done? A really good, everyone smiling, not shot by an iPhone photo? It’s probably been WAY too long … Well don’t fret I am here to help! Between our busy schedules and endless to-do lists, it is easy to forget to have family photos taken. Believe me I get it, but I am also a huge advocate for family photos. Check out my 5 Reasons You Should Book Yearly Family Photos below:

1. Creates Memories
Past experiences form us into who we are today. Families grow and change for so many reasons such as marriage, birth, loved ones passing away, and others moving far away. Yearly photos capture these changes, creating a timeline of milestone events.

2. These Photos are Your Legacy
Have you ever been to family dinners over the holidays when the old photo albums come out and the family stories start to flow? These are the photos that, in time, will help your children or even grand children remember the “good old days”. While you might not care to have the photos or be in them now, down the road you and your family will be glad you are.

3. Your Kiddos Won’t Be Little Forever

Ever heard the phrase growing like a weed? I hear this so often as families look back even to their last years family photos. Kids grow and change so much even over a year its nice to be able to look back and see the amazing changes that have happened in your family.

4. High Quality Photos to Last a Lifetime

In this crazy Instagram, selfie stick life we live in it might seem like all we do is take photos of each other. When in reality a lot of those images will never get printed, hung on your walls or even see the pages of a photo album. Having a photographer take high quality images, with everyone in them, and not just Mom or Dad is a big deal. These are an investment into your future and something you will be able to cherish for a lifetime.

5. Grandparents LOVE it!

Life-hack: Giving professional family photos as gifts to grandparents never gets old! They LOVE them and will gladly accept and frame them all over their house. It is the easiest gifts for loved ones and there really isn’t anything these images can’t be turned into; calendar, holiday cards, worlds greatest Mom mugs. The worlds is your oyster!
