When you almost forgot how to write a blog post and remember, that none of this is really about the words on this page. It’s about the feelings family photos evoke. Whether they’re your own or whether you just see something in them that grabs you.

Many years ago, a photographer had posted some “mommy and me” shots on Instagram for an upcoming mini session offering. All I could see in those photos was my son and me…snuggling, giggling, smiling. I knew I had to have those photos taken. Sometimes you just catch a moment that sticks with you. The kind of moment, feeling that you can’t escape. Let this be your reminder or even the permission you need. Get the photos taken. You don’t have to wait until fall just to take photos for holiday cards. Sometimes, doing something so meaningful for yourself, your kids, your family is the only thing that matters.

If you’re ready to create memories, this is your invitation.
