When did you last update YOUR family photos?

The other day, I found myself scrolling through my phone, looking for a recent family photo to print for my son to take to university. He wanted something special to have on his desk—a little reminder of home as he starts this exciting new chapter. But as I flicked through the camera roll, I realised something... we didn’t even have a recent family photo together. Life had flown by in the usual whirlwind of school runs, work, and weekends packed with activities. The kids had grown so quickly, and somehow, we hadn’t taken the time to capture us—our family as it is right now.

I quickly rectified that, of course! (Being a photographer and having a studio and a camera at the ready does indeed make things easier...) But it was a reminder of how easy it is to let these moments slip by.

If you’re like me, most of your family photos are probably tucked away in your phone. Sweet snaps from days out or selfies in the garden. But as lovely as they are, they just aren’t the same as a beautiful, professionally captured photograph. One that you’re all in—where everyone looks their best, the lighting is perfect, and there’s a little magic in the way it captures your connection as a family.

✨ Why Now Is the Perfect Time

Our children grow so quickly, and every stage is worth celebrating. Whether your little ones are just starting school or heading off to university, these milestones deserve to be remembered. Having professional family photos not only preserves those memories but also gives you something tangible to hold on to—and display proudly in your home.

In fact, there’s a fascinating study that shows children grow up with more confidence and a stronger sense of belonging when they see family photos displayed around the house. It’s a simple, powerful way to say “You are loved, and you are important.”
