Family photos are not just pictures for your Christmas cards—they're meant to create lasting memories with your loved ones that you can look back on in the future. As a photographer, I love helping families capture these special moments. Here are some reasons why you should consider making family photos an annual tradition.
Document growth and change
There’s something magical about looking back at old family photos. Kids grow up so fast, and every year brings something new. Family photos are a great way to preserve those moments—the milestones, the growth, and all the little things that happen in a year. Whether it’s your child starting school, a new sibling joining the family, or just seeing how much your little one has grown, these photos freeze those precious moments in time.
Create lasting memories
Life gets busy, and as we grow older, we start to live separate lives. It can be tough to get the whole family together for a photo shoot every year, but that’s exactly why making it a tradition is so important.
When time passes, people move to different places, start new jobs, or get caught up in their own lives. But family photos always remain, ready to remind us of how we looked and felt at different stages. They help you remember the fun times you had together, even if you’re far apart. Those photos are more than just images—they’re timeless keepsakes that let you relive those moments whenever you want.
Build family traditions
Family photos don’t have to be about getting the perfect shot; they’re about creating traditions that make you smile every year. Some families have a favorite spot for photos, while others like to wear matching outfits or try new themes each year.
And don’t worry about waiting for the “perfect” moment. Life is messy, and things don’t always go as planned—but that’s okay! Every year is worth remembering, and those little imperfections are part of the story. So even if things aren’t perfect, they’re still worth capturing. A photo of your family’s love, growth, and traditions will be something you can look back on for years to come.
