5 Reasons to Give the Gift of Photography

Do you want to give a special gift to a loved one(s) and aren’t sure just what to get? Do you have a family member who has never had professional photos taken? Or perhaps a sister or dear friend who is expecting a baby in the coming year? What about you and your family? You deserve to have beautiful images of your family this year too! If you’re having trouble finding the perfect gift and now have the added pressure of less than 10 days to find it, don’t worry. I’ve got you! Here are 5 reasons to give the gift of photography:

5 Reasons to Give the Gift of Photography

1. Photography is a gift that lasts.
   With all the trendy gadgets, fads that come and go with clothing and accessories, it’s hard to find a truly classic gift that stands the test of time. But with the fun experience of a portrait session with a professional photographer, the result is a set of artfully edited portraits that capture the most important things in life–love, family, friendship, joy, and the sweet simplicity of enjoying the moment with loved ones.
2. Photography is an experience, not a thing. 
   Our closets and garages are packed to the brim, and every year when we do our spring cleaning we vow never to go shopping again. So why give a gift that will be enjoyed temporarily and then put away in an attic after it’s no longer being used?  When you give a portrait session, you are giving an experience. One in which the recipient is the center of focus and can later see themselves in the best light.
3. Every portrait session is customized!
   I work closely with my clients to guide them on choosing a location and wardrobe. I like to spend some time before and during the session getting to know them so that I can capture the true essence of who they are.
4. A portrait session is an original gift.
   Giving the gift of a portrait session is not cheap. It’s a thoughtful, artful, original, genuine experience and results in family heirlooms that last for generations. For these reasons, it’s not something that is given or received often, but when it is, it is a gift of love.
5. No wrapping required!
   If you dislike wrapping gifts as much as I do, you’ll appreciate this. I have beautiful, glossy gift certificate cards that come in a nice white envelope. Ready to give!
