Life moves quickly and your family is constantly growing and changing. As a mother and photography team, Amanda Longe Photography understands the importance of capturing these moments before they pass. Make it a tradition - a photo session every season or every year to preserve your memories. Here are five reasons to book your next family photo session:

Celebrating Milestones


A family photoshoot is a great way to celebrate and commemorate special milestones. Birthdays, holidays, anniversary, graduation, or a significant achievement - all are great reasons to book your next session.

Your Kids Are Only Little Once

Every season I can feel my kiddos changing, something about the way they look, talk, move, their interests, they way they see and connect with the world. Scheduling annual or biennial family photos is a great way to document all of these changes and create a visual timeline of your journey together.

Preserving A Memory Of Them

It isn't until someone has passed on that we often find ourselves wishing we had more of them - more photos, videos, memories. Including older family members such as grandparents with their grandkids, or adult kids with their parents, gives you the chance to share those memories with future generations.

Fun and Connection


Family photoshoots shouldn't feel stressful or formal. In fact planning a fun outing like the park, beach, forest, or any place your family loves to have fun, will create dynamic and candid photos. Natural smiles and laughing make for the BEST photos.

Boosting Self-Esteem


Children who grow up with family photos displayed in their home tend to have higher confidence, self-esteem and stronger sense of self-worth. Showcasing your family's connection can have a significant impact on your kids.

Get Kids Involved


Kids love to help with picking out their outfits or bringing their favorite stuffed animal or hobby/sport item will help them feel more involved in the process and excited for it. Planning a "reward" activity or event after or during photos can also help shy kiddos relax (ie. part of your session is getting ice cream at Dairy Queen)
