Give The Gift of Priceless Family Treasure

That’s what you can get by gifting a family photography session.

If you use a photographer that specializes in wall art or printed photo albums, what you're doing is giving your family the gift of priceless family treasures that your family will enjoy over generations, forever.

Family photos are really a gift to your children. And there's a distinction between family photos and "almost" family photos. "Almost" family photos are the ones where somebody is always missing because they're the family photographer. And, ironically, that missing person is usually THE person in the family who keeps the trains on the track and running on schedule.

Talking about you, mom.

You don't have family photos if mom isn't in the picture!

Think About The Future

When your kids are your age, they're going to want to have pictures of their childhood with their mother in them! You work hard to create these awesome experiences for your little people and you snap, snap, snap away with your phone, but if you're not in those pictures with your kids, you're just building a massive library of family photos that you're not in.

When your kids are no longer kids, you're not going to be happy with that. And when they're adults, they'll wish they had more pictures WITH their mom.

So think about giving a photography session as a gift to a family you care about.

Family Lifestyle Photography

In particular, think about giving a Family Lifestyle photography session.

Family Lifestyle photography is basically "a day in the life" photography. Instead of "say cheese" photos, you get candid photos of your family being a family, doing your normal family activities. I'm talking about the simple things you're doing with your kids that they're going to remember fondly when they're adults.

Making pancakes on a Saturday morning may not seem like a big deal now, but those memories will mean everything to you and your kids in 20 or 30 years. Imagine having photos of those memories.

Family Lifestyle sessions capture the story of who your family is and preserves it for your kids and their kids and their kids and their kids.

Imagine if you had a printed photo album of "a day in the life" of your family from when your grandparents were young children. How incredible would it be to have a photo story like that to show where your family came from? Imagine having a whole library of these albums over multiple generations.

Family Lifestyle photography is also about appreciating your family and giving everyone their flowers while they are here and that's why it's such an incredible gift that has way more enduring value than most of the stuff we gift (and re-gift) over the holidays.

This is a great gift for out-of-state grandparents to give. Mom and dad may not be able to afford a great photographer and this is something you could help them with. And it's a gift to yourself, as well, particularly if you'll be in town for the holidays and you can be in the photos, too!

Remember, your little people won't stay little forever and your senior family members are not going to be here forever, either. And neither are you.

So think about giving photography as a forever gift to someone this year. It's the one gift you can give that you know you and your family will have and treasure forever.
