I like this article, too many people keep putting this off, waiting for their hair to look good or for them to loose x pounds. Kids grow up FAST. Photograph them NOW. 

4 Reasons to Capture Images of You and Your Child Together Right Now

"Sometimes you have to get on the other side of the camera, and let someone else be the photographer for a minute. Even if you weren’t planning on being in photos that day, just do it. It doesn’t matter if your hair is perfect. It doesn’t matter if you wore the most flattering outfit. It doesn’t matter if you meant to lose five pounds first. Just get in there."

"One day that baby boy you’re holding in your arms is going to tower over you. He’ll have big man hands, and his voice will be deep and strong. You’ll have a hard time believing that there was a time when his teeny fingers couldn’t even wrap all the way around your fingers. Make sure to capture the little details. Those little faces, hands, and feet are so adorable when contrasted with a parent’s hands."

"I hope these four reasons will encourage you to be in more photos with your children. You will never ever regret these precious moments captured forever."
