Photographing families with teens or adult chldren

Austin Family photography isn't just for small children.  Make sure to photograph your teens and adult kids too.

I remember when I first opened up my photo studio (nearly 20 years ago). I had a 2 year old and a 4 year old. At those ages, I was all about photographing them at every possible milestone event. Whether it was losing the first tooth or getting the first haircut, I scheduled portrait sessions and documented it all.

But now my kids are adults. They both go to schools out of state and we don’t see them as frequently. The one thing we still make sure to do, at least annually, is take a family portrait. Just because your kids are grown, doesn’t mean you stop taking family portraits. As I get older, there really isn’t much I need in terms of material things, but I always love to have pictures of my family.  

Down our hallway, we have framed pictures of our family. Each year, I rotate some of these images out and put in new ones. For me, nothing makes me happier than being surrounded by pictures of people I love. 

But, I also understand that style and design is important in many homes. That is why we provide consultations in our studio to help you design your walls. This will ensure that the walls of your home look finished and that the images match your decor. If hanging wall art isn’t your thing, no problem! Our most popular product is our custom designed albums. For my family, we have an album for every year of childhood. My kids absolutely love going back through the old albums with their friends.

If you have teens and adult children, but you are not sure how to put a portrait session together, don't worry.  We can help you design the perfect session, create an environment where everyone looks and feels their very best and provide you with help decorating your home.  Just contact me and we can discuss all of the details! ;)
