New Year, New Memories: Why Now Is the Best Time to Book Your Family Photos

New Year, New Memories: Why Now Is the Best Time to Book Your Family Photos 

January always feels like a fresh start.

A slower pace. A deep breath after December. A moment to look ahead and think about what this year might hold.

For many families, the new year comes with intentions — to be more present, to slow down, to hold onto moments instead of letting them rush past. And one of the simplest ways to do that is by intentionally documenting your family as you are right now.

Why January Is the Perfect Time to Book

January is one of the best months to plan your family photos for the year ahead.

You’re not yet caught up in school terms, packed calendars, or end-of-year rushes. Booking early gives you:

• First choice of dates

• Time to plan outfits and locations without pressure

• A relaxed experience instead of a rushed one

It also allows us to choose seasons that suit your family best — golden autumn evenings, cozy winter sessions, or warm summer light.

Family Photos Aren’t Just for “Special Occasions”

So often, families wait for the perfect moment — when life is calmer, when kids are older, when things feel more put together.

But the truth is, this season matters too.

The toddler stage.

The missing teeth.

The way your child still fits perfectly in your arms.

These everyday moments become the memories we cherish most.

My Approach

My sessions are slow, gentle, and child-led.
No stiff posing. No pressure to perform.

Just space for your family to be yourselves — to laugh, cuddle, explore, and connect.

Looking Ahead

If this year you’re choosing to be more present, more intentional, and more connected — this might be the year to finally book those photos you keep meaning to take.

Because time doesn’t slow down.
But photographs allow us to revisit it.

If you’re thinking about booking a family session this year, I’d love to help you plan something meaningful and relaxed.
