The Importance of Family Portraits

At the holidays, we are more aware than ever that our families are crazy!  And sometimes they drive us crazy.  But in that chaos and craziness is love.  It is love that binds us together in the good times and the bad.  We stick together and support each other because we are family.  When we create family portraits, we are honoring that love for our family.  The family portrait that hangs on the walls in your home is a daily reminder of the love that you share.  It binds and molds us.  It holds us close.  We remember the love.  And that will see us through.

Annual Family Photographs

Some people call it luck and some a blessing or fortune.  Whatever your name for it, I am there among those few who truly love what I do.  Family photography was my first love and I still love every session!  I get to watch the connections and interactions of family.  Mom and Dad, sister and brother.  The first portrait below is a family with twin boys.  Every day is crazy for them.  But they show up every year for their family portrait.  Mom puts the photos in the house and the kids know how cherished and loved they are.  The next family has a new addition and they are so in love with him.  New parents are the best at showing total and complete unconditional love.  It is a beautiful thing!  I have photographed the third family for many many years.  They always make me laugh and I love to photograph them!  The last family has five children.  They are the most mature, well-behaved children that I have ever met.  Their family is calm and peaceful and beautiful in so many ways.  I’m grateful to have the opportunity to keep doing what I love and to create family portraits.

What’s my favorite thing to see as a photographer? 👇🏻

My clients actually using their photos.

Profile pictures. Websites. Social media. Marketing.
Not just sitting in a gallery… but showing up in the places that matter.

Because the truth is—your photos are often the first impression people have of you or your business.

And when they’re intentional, consistent, and professional… it shows.

That’s the difference between “just a photo” and something that actually works for you.

One day, this will be a memory. Don’t miss capturing it.

Senior year has a way of slipping by faster than you expect… and before you know it, they’re graduating.

These photos aren’t just for now—they’re something you’ll look back on for years to come, remembering exactly who they were in this moment.

If you’ve been putting it off, this is your reminder—time is running out and spots are limited.

Shutter speed is one of those things that feels confusing… until it clicks. 😉📸

For headshots, you don’t need anything complicated — just a solid, consistent range and an understanding of how your lighting plays into it.

If you’re a new photographer trying to figure all of this out, I’ve put together a few resources to help you get started — from gear to posing and more.

Most people step in front of the camera thinking, “I have no idea what to do.”

That’s where I come in.

Every small adjustment you see here — posture, hands, angles — is intentional. It’s what turns a quick headshot into something confident and professional.

If you want to learn the poses I rely on most, I put together a guide breaking them down.
