The next flashback I am absolutely beyond excited to share is one that I think about often. It’s a session I am incredibly grateful to have been a part of. ❤️

Four beautiful women. Four generations. Ages 2 to 83. Mothers and daughters, all together in one beautiful generational session.

And that adorable little toddler you’ll see in these images? She’s not a toddler anymore!

Sadly, the matriarch of this beautiful family is no longer with us. And while I would never want to use that loss as a reason to tell someone they need to schedule a photo session, it does make me appreciate these images even more.

Because now, these photographs are part of this family’s history.

They have beautiful portraits of four generations of women together. They have photographs of their mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. They have tangible memories of a time when all four of them could be in the same frame, laughing, loving, and simply being together.

And that is exactly why I believe generational photographs are so incredibly special.

We don't always know which photographs will become the ones we treasure most. We don't know what the future will bring. But we can make the time to gather the people we love and preserve a little piece of that moment while we have the opportunity.

So, if you've been thinking about getting the whole family together for a generational session, consider this your sign.

Is it difficult to get everyone’s schedules to cooperate? Absolutely.

Is there coordination involved? Oh, you betcha.

Is it worth every second of the planning, texting, scheduling, and occasional agony of getting the whole crew in one place?

Yes. And then some.

And will I make sure you have some fun while we're doing it?

You betcha.

Because someday, these won't just be photographs.

They'll be pieces of your family that you get to hold onto forever.
