As a DFW lifestyle photographer, I talk a lot about my love of newborn photos, maternity pics, and milestone photography. I even recently started my Baby Year Membership program for parents to book a full year of photography, from the newborn stages to baby’s first birthday!  

But today I wanted to talk about how much I love being a DFW family photographer too! I’m sharing this session at Crowley Park in Richardson, TX featuring the sweetest family of four! And while, yes, they have the cutest baby, I think this session also shows that having a newborn or a special occasion aren’t the only reasons to hire a professional photographer. In fact, any season of life is the perfect season to take photos.

Three Reasons You Deserve to Take Professional DFW Family Photographs Right Now

1. Your Kids Will Only Be This Age For A Little While

In this session, big brother’s relationship with little brother is so endearing, and the photos that show them interacting are some of my favorites! It makes my heart happy to know these brothers will be able to look back at these photos to see the early stages of their relationship. Someday, big brother won’t be able to hold little brother like this anymore. Their relationship will grow and change in wonderful ways, but it will never quite be like this again. And this is true for all families and all sibling relationships. When you take professional family photos, you’re able to capture a very particular moment in your children’s lives. It’s not just the baby stage that is worth remembering. Every moment along the path of childhood and adolescence is special too!

2. Capture the Love Between Mom and Dad

As a momma of two and one on the way, I know how hard it can be to find time for intimacy and connection with your spouse! Life is so busy that it’s easy sometimes to forget that it’s the love between the two of you that brought this family into being and keeps it going. When you decide to book me as your Dallas family photographer, I always try to capture photos that focus on the love between Mom and Dad. With this session, Mom’s gorgeous flowy dress from Nothing Fits But and Dad’s complementary colors make for some dreamy photos in the wild flowers. 

Not only are the photos themselves a wonderful reminder of the love you share, but the experience of taking photos together can be really special for a couple. Romantic photos are not just for your engagement or wedding day! You deserve to capture your love right now!

3. Never Forget What This Time Was Like  

With this family, it was all about capturing their togetherness. This session was really sweet to me because I got to witness the love between each family member. The setting, with its simple scenery and golden light, was perfect to keep the focus on their smiles and their playfulness, their intimacy and unique family life. When I look at these photos, I think of how this family may change in the years to come, but this session will always commemorate the fierce love they share for one another.

This family wanted to celebrate life as a new family of four, but they also simply wanted to capture this particular moment in their lives. And, if you think about it, aren’t most of life’s moments worth preserving? Contact me about booking your next DFW family photography today!
