3 Reasons why Family Portrait Sessions Make the Perfect Gift

Doncaster Family Photographer

There always seems to be some sort of special occasion that requires you to purchase a gift for the loved ones in your life. It can start to become a bit of a chore, so I want to provide you with an option you might not have previously thought about.

A photography session is perfect for -

The person that has everything - Do they have up-to-date professional family portraits?
New parents - Little ones grow so quickly so it’s important to capture them while they’re still little!
Grandparents - Do you wish you had more photos of your children with your parents? Now’s the perfect time to make it happen!
Your partner - Does your partner mention wanting more beautiful family photos to display in your home?
The person that’s had a tough year - Do they need a little pick-me-up? Give them the opportunity to devote some time to themselves and their family.

So, if you know someone who could benefit from a Family Photoshoot, read on to find out why professional photography makes the perfect gift!

Photography is an Experience

Photography isn’t just about taking pretty pictures. There’s more to it than that. It’s an experience.

By booking a Family Portrait Session for your loved one, you’re giving them the opportunity to get into the outdoors with their family so that they can spend quality time together.

I’m always on the lookout for new locations and have a number of woodland areas I love taking my clients to. This means that you’re also giving them the chance to explore somewhere new!

If the recipient loves being in the outdoors, they’ll absolutely love the idea of going somewhere they’ve never been before! It may even mean they have a new place to go for walks with their family at a later date!

Alternatively, if they have a special place they go to all the time, the session can take place at that particular location! This will make the images even more special!

It’s the gift that keeps on giving!

Family photos will be enjoyed for generations to come. Not only that, but the whole process is an enjoyable one!

When the recipient receives the news that they’ll be involved in a photo shoot with their family, they’ll *hopefully* feel excited, if not a little nervous, but that’s okay!

They’ll look forward to spending quality time with their loved ones and experiencing something new together!

Not everyone thinks to book a professional family portrait session, but it’s something that they’ve probably thought about doing, but as we all know, life gets in the way and it keeps being pushed back…

You’re giving them the opportunity to plan their perfect family session! They can put together outfit options, think of locations that truly mean something to them, and then they can decide what to do with their final gallery once they receive the images!

Imagine how excited they’ll be to share photos of their beautiful family on social media for their friends to see! They’ll feel so proud, and rightly so!

During their session, they can relax and enjoy each other’s company, knowing that they’re not having to stress about capturing perfect images of their time together! That’s my job!

All families want beautiful photos together, but actually taking those images is a difficult task!

You’ve got kids that won’t cooperate and Dads that just want to get it over with as quickly as possible. It’s a recipe for disaster when you’re trying to do everything yourself!

Now imagine giving someone the gift of not having any of this to deal with. They get gorgeous photos without dealing with all the stress that comes with taking them! If you ask me, that’s the perfect present for any Mum!

Sessions with me consist of cuddling, playing, and laughing together. I understand that it’s difficult for children (and Dads…) to pose for extended periods of time, and that’s fine! The best photos are those where everything feels natural!

Gifting this experience to your loved one is something they’ll appreciate and remember for a lifetime.

Finally, once the session has ended and they’ve received their photos, they can use them to gift to their other family members.

They can print them, create greeting cards with them, make wall art… The list goes on.

And they’ll always have these photos to reminisce about the time they spent together. They can look back at how little their children once were.

It really is the gift that keeps on giving!

Photography is a celebration of Life

Just think about all the photos you take during your life. Most often, you think about capturing photos when you’re celebrating birthdays, anniversaries, and other special occasions, right?

You want to remember the happiest moments; the ones when everyone’s loving life!

People most commonly book professional photography to capture these special moments. You’re probably very familiar with engagement and wedding photos but Family photos are also highly important!

A family photography session could be booked to celebrate the following:

A birthday - Most commonly, you’ll find that parents book professional photography to capture a child’s birthday. Children grow up so quickly, so it’s essential to take photos to document this constant change.
A new addition to the family - Do you think that the only way to celebrate new life is by booking a newborn session in a studio? This isn’t the case! For those looking for more natural images, an outdoor family session is a perfect way to capture newborns!
Mother’s Day/Father’s Day - What could be better than spending quality time with your little ones to celebrate these special days? And, you’ll leave the session with beautiful photos to share with your loved ones.
An anniversary - Celebrate your wedding anniversary with your family! It’s a great time to update your family photos and to make more amazing memories! Things have likely changed since getting marries so document that.
Just Because - There’s no better reason to have family photos taken than to document your family as they are! Families grow and change constantly, and capturing all of these changes is so important!

To make your gift even more special, consider a beautifully boxed gift card, elegantly tied with a bow and sealed with wax.
