Taking family pictures with older kids is just as important as it was when they were younger, but we tend to put it off and not prioritize it like we did when they were reaching baby milestones, first birthdays or beyond. I don’t know why that is… maybe it seems like they aren’t growing as fast (not true!), or that the school photo each year does the job. Maybe it is that our teens are awkward and let us know, sometimes loudly and often, how much they are not interested in it. Likely it’s that these older kids come with busy schedules and finding the time to even think about scheduling photos seems daunting. Fitting in a session between a zillion practices, music lessons, birthday parties, sleep and school sounds impossible.
