Why You Should Have Professional Photos of Your Child at Least Once Per Year

Writer's picture: Sarah with an HSarah with an H

As a Mankato photographer, I’m constantly amazed by the power of a single photo to capture a moment in time. Even though I’m not a parent myself, I’ve had the privilege of photographing countless children and witnessing the magic that happens when a child’s personality shines through a lens. Here’s why I believe it’s essential to have professional photos of your child taken at least once a year.


1. Capturing Quality Memories

Sure, we all have smartphones brimming with candid photos of our kids, but there’s something incredibly special about a professional photo. These photos go beyond the everyday snapshots, preserving the fine details and authentic expressions that make your child unique.

2. Documenting Growth and Milestones

Kids grow up fast. It feels like one minute they’re taking their first steps and the next, they’re heading off to school. Annual professional photos provide a beautiful visual timeline of their growth and development. These sessions capture more than just their physical changes; they document the evolution of their personality and interests, creating a lasting record of their journey through childhood.

3. Creating Lasting Heirlooms

Professional photos are more than just images; they’re heirlooms that can be cherished for generations. When you invest in professional photography, you’re creating a legacy. Imagine your child, years down the road, sharing these high-quality images with their own children. It’s a meaningful way to connect with the past and keep family history alive.

4. Unique and Artistic Perspectives

Photography is an art, and I love bringing a creative eye to each session. Whether it’s finding the perfect location here in Mankato, suggesting fun poses, or capturing candid moments, I strive to make each photo unique. My goal is to turn an ordinary moment into a stunning piece of art that you’ll be proud to display in your home.

5. Documenting Family Bonds

Professional photo sessions aren’t just about your child; they’re about capturing the entire family. These sessions highlight the connections and relationships that define your family. Over time, these images will tell a beautiful story of your family’s love.

6. Building a Tradition

Making annual photo sessions a tradition is a wonderful way to create lasting memories. It gives your child something to look forward to each year and instills an appreciation for capturing life’s moments. Plus, it’s a great excuse to get everyone dressed up and spend some quality time together.

7. Professional Editing and Finishing

After the session, my job isn’t done. I spend time carefully editing each photo to ensure it’s the best it can be. From color correction to retouching, I make sure every image is polished and perfect. This attention to detail can make a big difference, turning a great photo into a stunning one.


While everyday snapshots are wonderful, there’s something truly special about professional photos. They capture high-quality, artistic, and lasting memories that celebrate your child’s growth and your family’s unique story. So, consider making it an annual tradition—it’s an investment in memories that you’ll cherish for a lifetime.
