When is the best time to take family portraits? Is it when the kids are little, starting school, or heading off to high school? Maybe when celebrating a milestone like a birthday, an anniversary, or welcoming a new family member?
The truth is, there’s no single “perfect” time for a family portrait session. Every stage of life brings its own beauty, and every family gathering is an opportunity to capture your love and connection. Snap those fun group selfies, record a trending TikTok, and take quick snapshots with your phone—but also consider creating timeless, customized artwork for your home.
Having professional family portraits goes beyond a picture; it’s about celebrating your journey, cherishing milestones, and capturing the essence of your family at that moment in time.
Why Invest in Custom Family Artwork?
Your home tells your family’s story. From the early days of parenthood, when your babies are small, to the milestone moments of hobbies, talents, and teenage years, wall portraits showcase your family’s growth, love, and individuality.
Babyhood: Decorate your home with portraits of your babies to remind you of those tender early days and watch their smiles grow.
Hobbies and Interests: As your kids discover their passions, fill their rooms with portraits that celebrate their unique talents, building confidence and self-esteem.
Teen Years: High school can be a challenging yet beautiful chapter. Family portraits during this time remind your teens they are loved, valued, and amazing.
The best time to take family portraits?
Anytime the opportunity arises!
Every stage deserves to be celebrated and remembered.
The Juarez Family’s Story
Last year, I had the pleasure of photographing the Juarez family at Anthem Community Park, one of my favorite locations for portraits. With its stunning waterfall, serene lake, and lush greenery, the park provided a magical backdrop for this session.
The Juarez family of seven was an absolute joy to photograph. With all their kids in their teenage years—except for their youngest daughter, who’s in middle school—it was the perfect time to capture their bond before the next chapter of life takes them in different directions.
We took a variety of photos, including:
• Group portraits: Showcasing their connection as a family.
• Mom and dad moments: A loving tribute to their partnership and love story.
• Individual shots of the kids: Highlighting their unique personalities and milestones.
The family loved the session so much that they decided to preserve their memories with a beautiful custom album. It’s a keepsake they’ll treasure for generations, a tangible reminder of this precious time in their lives.
The next time the Juarez family has professional photos taken might be for one of their sons’ weddings, and their family will continue to grow. But for now, they have this beautiful snapshot of their lives, frozen in time.
