Family photos are a great way to preserve your memories and keep them fresh in your mind. They're also a fantastic way to show off your family, especially as your children grow up too fast. It’s easy to forget how much your children have changed from one year to the next but when you have lots of family photos from across the years, you can see just how much they've grown.
“A lot of people don’t think about the power that a family photo can have. Family photos are more than just a way to capture your family or remember a special moment, and they can be a powerful tool for developing a positive self-image,” says Isaiah Burke from Beach Umbrella.
Here are some reasons why you should have family photos taken every year:
1. Document How Much Everyone Has Changed Over Time
Taking photographs with your family is a great way to reflect on how much everyone has changed over the years. You can see how much your children have grown up in just one year or how much your parents' hair has turned white!
It's easy to overlook the changes that happen to everyone as the years pass but when you see your child’s face morph from a baby into a teenager through the years, it's impossible not to notice - and it makes you appreciate that person for who they are today.
2. An Opportunity to Reflect
Taking yearly photos makes you think about that moment and how important it was.
It allows you to reflect on what happened over the past year—and how much things can change from one year to the next. It also creates a record of all those moments that might otherwise slip away as time goes on.
3. It Makes for a Great Memorabilia
Family photos make for great memorabilia that’ll surely last a lifetime. You can use them in many ways, such as making an album or framing them.
They're a way to preserve memories and create lasting keepsakes. Making memorabilia can be as simple as putting all your favourite images into one place or creating an entire scrapbook with stories about each person's year.
4. Gives Everyone Something to Look Forward to Each Year
Do you know that excitement you get when you see an event coming up? That's what it's like for families to plan a yearly photo shoot. Taking yearly family photos is a beautiful family tradition. It allows everyone in the family to get dressed up and spend quality time together.
5. A Fun Activity That Brings Everyone Together
Taking family photos is an activity that the whole family can enjoy, including children and grandparents. Whether you're going for a posed picture or just having fun taking candid shots, doing so will bring everyone closer and make them more comfortable in front of the camera.
