Your backyard can be a perfect location for family photos. Sometimes we worry too much about finding the &#8220;perfect&#8221; location. But you don&#8217;t always need to travel somewhere to have beautiful family photos made. Sometimes the simplest solution is the best one, especially if you have some greenery in your backyard and beautiful light, like we did for this session. Backyard family photos can make your family session even more special and memorable. When you look back on the photos years later, you&#8217;ll be able to remember your yard and the location will be totally unique to your family.
And when it&#8217;s been 10 years since your last family photo, it&#8217;s time to update! As the kiddos grow up the family photos always seem to be fewer &amp; father between. So it&#8217;s always nice to get everyone together for a more recent picture. You&#8217;ll want photos of your teenage kids to look back on in addition to those photos from when they were little.
I met up with this beautiful family last week at their home &#8211; isn&#8217;t this a gorgeous backyard?! Mom wanted to get family photos done before her oldest starts college in a few weeks. Acknowledging a huge milestone like that is so important!  Everyone was really nice even though I made them get up super early in the Summer. 🙂 I love capturing the bonds you have with your kids as they grow up. It truly is such a huge honor! <img decoding="async" title="Backyard family photos" src="http://www.stacietatum.com//wp-content/uploads/2017/07/2017-07-14_0003.jpg" alt="Backyard family photos" />
