the ideal time to photograph your child:

i met with the mama of this sweet babe yesterday.

 we took these photos about two months ago.

way back when he wasn't even walking. ;)

 and back when their family was thinking of moving.

 yesterday, i saw that he was walking exclusively.

 and their house is sold.

 we were sharing how hard it can be to leave a home.

how it feels that the walls somehow hold your memories.

your growth.

your love.

 i don't think this mother regrets having these photos done right at the moment when they were done.

a moment later and well,

the moment would have passed.

 honestly, i've never had a client regret getting photos taken when they did.

though, i have had some who wished they would have sooner.

i know as a busy mom myself,

it's difficult to make time and money to record our lives as a family.

but any time i prioritize photographing my own children

i feel so thankful that i have that moment down.

to remember.

so when is the best time to have your children photographed?

the only answer i can think of is: now.

you won't regret it!
