Couples Photos and Why They Matter

If you’re in the throes of toddler or kid parenting… I get it. Life moves fast, and when you have kids, it feels like time speeds up even more. Between school drop-offs, snack times, bedtime routines, valentine crafting, and the million little things in between, it’s easy to put yourself last. As parents, we are always behind the camera, capturing our children’s every milestone, but somehow, we forget to step in front of the lens. Couple’s photos might not seem like a priority right now, but I promise you, they matter more than you realize.

Your love story didn’t pause the day your first child was born. The bond that brought you together still deserves to be celebrated, nurtured, and remembered. Think about how rare it is to have a photo that captures just the two of you, outside of wedding portraits or a quick phone snapshot on date night. You deserve more than that. Your relationship is the foundation of your family, and having images that reflect that love is just as important as the ones of your little ones.

One day, your kids will look back at family albums, searching for glimpses of the parents who raised them. They will want to see the way you looked at each other, the way you laughed together, the way your hands intertwined effortlessly. These photos are not just for you; they are for them, too. They tell a story of commitment, of partnership, of the deep love that held everything together, even on the hardest days.

I know it’s tempting to put it off. You might feel exhausted, overweight, not picture-ready, or just too busy. But I want you to know that your love is beautiful exactly as it is right now. It’s in the quiet moments, the inside jokes, the small gestures of care. The magic isn’t in perfect hair or coordinated outfits. It’s in the way you fit together, how your smiles soften in each other’s presence, and how a simple touch speaks volumes.

When you take the time for a couple’s session, you are doing something meaningful for your relationship. It’s a moment to pause, to reconnect, and to remind yourselves of the love that started it all. I create a space where you can be yourselves, where the focus is on your connection rather than posing for the perfect shot. The result is something real, something you can look back on and feel all over again.

So let this be your reminder. Get in the photos. Celebrate your love. Capture the moments that tell the story of your life together. One day, you will be so glad you did, and so will your children.
