In My Unbiased Opinion...
You should be getting family photos taken annually. STAY WITH ME!!
Photographers aren't lying when we say these moments are fleeting. It's not some emotional marketing tactic to get you to book.
Take it from me as someone who gets annual photos taken with my boyfriend (no children - just a kitty.) I value our annual shoots because it's a little time capsule of our love story.
Irreplaceable Memories
Each season of life is worth capturing ESPECIALLY if you have children. It's kinda like when you buy your kid's school photos every year, even if they look bad or exceed your desired budget. You buy them because there will never be a time such as this.
SO, if you can't recall the last time you had a family photoshoot... inquire IMMEDIATELY.
And know that IT IS OKAY if your kids are "crazy" and they get the zoomies mid-session. With me behind the camera, you'll never have to apologize for your kids being kids.
I've never met a toddler I DIDN'T have to chase during a session (and that is perfectly okay). I spent four summers working the zip line at a kid's church camp...NOTHING can scare me.
