Why It’s So Important to Have Family Photos Taken Often
by Wylde Folk Studio – Brisbane Family Photographer
As time quietly ticks by, the days feel long… but the years? They fly. One minute you're rocking a newborn to sleep, the next you're packing school lunches, then suddenly you're waving them off to their first job or big move. Family life is filled with little, beautiful, chaotic moments that deserve to be remembered.
At Wylde Folk Studio, we believe in documenting those fleeting in-between moments — not just the milestones, but the ordinary magic of your everyday love. That’s why we always encourage our Brisbane families to update their family photos often. Here's why it's more than just a pretty picture.
1. Because They Grow So Fast
Children change so quickly — baby teeth fall out, legs grow longer, and personalities bloom. Regular family photography captures the evolution of your little people (and your family dynamic) in real-time. These images become a beautiful visual record of your family’s journey through the years.
2. Celebrate Every Chapter — Not Just the Big Ones
While birthdays and holidays are popular times to book a session, the quieter seasons of life deserve to be remembered too. There’s something so honest and raw about a session "just because" — no matching outfits, no huge milestone — just you and your people, exactly as you are.
3. Create Tangible Memories to Pass Down
In a digital world, printing your family photos and creating albums or wall art gives your memories permanence. Your children (and theirs) will one day treasure these tangible pieces of history — photos that remind them where they came from and how deeply they were loved.
4. You Deserve to Be in the Frame Too
So often, parents — especially mums — are behind the camera. But you deserve to be seen. To be held, to be hugged, to be loved — and to be photographed in those moments. Professional family sessions ensure that everyone is included in the memory-making.
5. Connection Over Perfection
At Wylde Folk Studio, we’re not about stiff poses or forced smiles. We capture the real connections — the belly laughs, the cuddles, the cheeky glances and gentle touches. Family photos are not about perfection. They're about connection, emotion, and storytelling.
6. Photos Anchor Us in Gratitude
When life gets messy (and it does!), looking back on family photos can bring clarity and grounding. They remind us of what matters most — the people we love and the journey we’re on together.
Make It a Tradition
Whether it’s every year or every couple of years, making family photos a tradition gives you the gift of time travel. You’ll look back and marvel not just at how much your kids have grown, but how much love has been shared along the way.
If you’re ready to document your now — in all its raw, real, and beautiful glory — we’d be honoured to tell your family’s story.
