When To Take Photos

Only take the photos that matter. People ask me when they should get photos taken: Before or after kids; before or after getting married; before or after buying their first house? My answer is: Yes. Have photos taken whenever you want them. Photos are not just reserved for significant events or celebrations anymore...they're for life!

Chris is a part of our team, and he and his wife (Holly) hadn't ever had a professional photo session before this one, and that's fine. There's no requirement for you to have a professional photo shoot except for whenever you want one. The important thing is that you do it so you can cherish those moments going forward.

At MJ&Co., we believe in the value of capturing those special events, but also the "every day" because those moments are special and unique in their own right as well.

Every year, our team - myself included - get a photo shoot with their family, and even that doesn't seem often enough sometimes. That's why I always have a camera with me when we go out as a family - to capture us as we are in that moment.

My sister is a dental hygienist and always says "Only brush the teeth that you want to keep" and I believe the same goes for photography.

WHEN should you take photos? Whenever you want! You don't need to wait for a special occasion or permission for a photo session of yourself, your spouse, your family or your friends. I really believe that life and love matters and is worth remembering.
