The answer is YES!!!!!
Document those memories. Document how they have changed. Document how you still love them. Capture all of that and freeze it in time.
Plus, it may be one of the few times they smile that week if they are having a particularly "teen-angst" kind of week. (Why yes, I do have 2 teens, how did you know?)
Our teens still need to know we love them. Still need us to WANT to be in photos with them (even if they don't want to be).
You can let them help choose the location. Or maybe even help with styling (within your photographer's style guide tips, lol).
Be silly still. Laugh. Crazy dance. Whatever you need to do.
They are still our children and we still love them.
