WHAT'S THE RIGHT AGE TO BOOK A SEATTLE FAMILY PHOTO SESSION WITH MY KIDS?
Life with kids is a collection of stages. First, you bring home a tiny newborn and watch them moment to moment to make sure they’re breathing. At least that’s what I did. I was a nervous new mom and I couldn’t relax until I had checked my babies 56 times before closing my eyes at night.
The toddler years blow in like a hurricane! Those kiddos are on the move and your job is to keep up with them as they race through the grocery store, because there’s no way they’ll sit in the shopping cart.
Fast forward to elementary school and high school, and your family is likely to have graduated from meltdowns to eye-rolling and mood swings.
You might be thinking, “It’ll be way too hard to have professional photos taken!” or “My kids will never cooperate for photos.”
Finding the right photographer for your family isn’t only about liking their images on Instagram. To really enjoy your photo session, a connection and understanding with your photographer is perhaps the most important thing. That’s why when you find a photographer whose work you love, scheduling a 10-15 minute phone call to get to know each other is a great first step in making your session a beautiful success. Chat about questions you have and even your worries. If you feel heard and understood you may have found your photographer.
So, what is the right age book a family photo session? The answer is absolutely any age! This is your life and it’s all worth capturing.
