As we grow, our families evolve, and moments pass by in a blur. Working with a family photographer year-after-year to capture these cherished moments creates a beautiful, cohesive story. Today, I’m highlighting the journey of this Washington, DC family, who have trusted me with their precious memories since 2019.

Since 2019, I’ve had the privilege of photographing the Croom family, preserving their journey through annual family sessions, some of which were beautifully intertwined with maternity sessions, and capturing the newborn moments of their youngest two. Each session tells a unique chapter of their story, and together, they form a tapestry of love, growth, and togetherness.

With each session, the Crooms and I have built a rapport that brings out their authentic selves. This connection allows for natural, candid shots where their true personalities shine through. They no longer need to acclimate to a new photographer’s vibe; instead, we’ve created a seamless, comfortable environment where they can be themselves.

Sticking with one photographer means the Crooms enjoy consistency in the style and quality of their photos. Plus, they know what to expect, which makes each session smoother and more enjoyable. This consistency also creates a coherent visual narrative that flows beautifully from year to year.

From the anticipation of welcoming a newborn to celebrating the joys and milestones of each year, having a single photographer has allowed us to craft a continuous, heartfelt story of the Croom family. The progression from maternity sessions to newborn and annual family portraits beautifully showcases their growth and the bonds they share.

The Benefits of a Singular Vision

1. Personalized Experience: Over the years, I’ve learned what makes the Croom family unique. This familiarity allows me to tailor each session to their preferences, resulting in images that truly reflect their essence.
2. Deep Understanding: Knowing the family dynamics and individual personalities helps in capturing moments that might be missed by someone new. The smallest smiles, the cheekiest grins, the tender embraces—all these are framed with a depth of understanding.
3. Emotional Continuity: Revisiting previous locations or themes can evoke a sense of nostalgia and continuity. It’s like flipping through the pages of a beloved family album, with each new page adding richness to their story.
