It’s that time of year again! Gift giving time. And we all know mamas are the ones who shop for everyone! When we have young children, it’s easy. But as we get older, it becomes harder and harder to find the perfect gift for our friends and family members. And even worse, is that person.
We all know that person. The one that is so hard to buy for around holiday time! Maybe you are nervous about what they will think of a store-bought gift, or perhaps aren’t sure what interests them. Here are five reasons why the gift of a photo session Justine Renee Photography is the best match for them!
We’re adults. We have jobs and our own money. If we want something, we buy it. But when was the last time this person had photos done with their family? Family photo sessions are a luxury that many do without. Either because they have other things they need to spend their money on, or they can’t get their spouse on board with the purchase. However, a photography session is more than just pictures, it’s memories that they will cherish forever. They can take those special memories and frame them for their home! I love to help with that.
Maybe they won’t use the session for family photos. Maybe they choose to do a photography session alone, and that is totally fine. Sometimes, we all need self-boosters to let ourselves shine. I love to create custom sessions. And a self-esteem boosting glamor session may be just the ticket! I can find a hair and makeup artist to help them feel their very best. My clients can borrow a dress from my client closet or even rent a couture gown and I will capture their beautiful self. This is an experience they will cherish for years to come!
Maybe this person makes family photos a priority. But when was the last time they had photos of just them and their significant other? Although I make it a priority at a family session to get photos of the couple by themselves, sometimes the kiddos just need a little too much attention. So maybe, it’s been a long time since they’ve gotten a couple cute shots of them as a couple, and it is overdue! What a sweet, romantic way for them to escape and enjoy each other.
Yes, even for you! Perhaps this person is expecting and has been thinking of ways to be creative and make an announcement. A photo session is a professional way to say, “I’m pregnant!” Or maybe they know you are dying to have photos of your grandchildren and so they use some of the images from their session as a way to include you in the gift. Either way, you may be surprised at how they use their photo session to pay it forward!
Everyone has tons of photos of their kids on their phones. But often, the only “professional” photos they get yearly are school photos. A gifted photo session may be just what they need to take the leap and get some high quality photographs of their children, before they’re all grown up! And, if they have animals, they could use a photography session for them. After all, fur babies are part of the family too! They can even be included in these sweet sessions and share this special time with their pet.
Whatever your reasons. Gifting someone a photo session is incredibly thoughtful and shows them how much you care. As a Chesapeake Photographer, I create custom sessions for each of my clients. I work closely with them to match their vision and bring their photos to life with heirloom products. If you are interested in gifting a session to a loved one this season, reach out and we can chat!
