Families Love Memories for the Holidays

Give Your Family the Gift of Captured Memories for the Holidays

People spend their lives creating memories for their children. They plan events, vacations, and fun gatherings to help build lasting memories. They take photos and store them on their phone to place on social media whenever they feel inclined.

However, extended family would love to have the gift of memories for the holidays. While they may not be able to join you on your excursions or special moments throughout the year, they may enjoy a wonderful album or collage of you and your immediate family in their element. They may enjoy looking up at their wall or on their coffee table and seeing you and your spouse and children enjoying each other.

Family portraits can make a wonderful holiday gift for your extended family. Learn more about how to give your family the gift of memories that can last a lifetime.

1.    Collect Photos Throughout the Year

To begin your process, you can choose to take photos throughout the year. Schedule family photos sessions during each season, each holiday, or every special event your family shares. You can choose to book mini sessions that may only provide a few portraits of you and your family. However, these portraits can become part of a larger project that makes a great holiday gift.

After Thanksgiving, schedule one last session to encompass the holiday season with your family. Then, create a family photo album or wall collage to give to your aunts, uncles, parents, or grandparents for the holidays. Your family will love seeing the stages of the year and how you have grown as a family.

2.    Sit for One Family Photo Session to Capture the Essence of Your Family

You also have the option to plan one family photo session to capture your family’s love. You may choose to set up different poses, several locations, and even wardrobe changes. Or you can enjoy one setting and change positions to show the love you all have for one another.

Once you receive the portraits from your family photo session, you may create a wall collage, provide one full print, or create an album to give to the loved ones in your life. Every portrait git can be different depending on the family member it is intended for.

3.    Invite Extended Family to Join in the Portrait Fun

You may choose to invite your extended family to join in the photo fun. Part of their holiday gift may be to include them in the photos and then provide them the portraits to showcase to their friends and loved ones.

Your parents, grandparents, aunts, and uncles, and other family members may marvel in the joy they feel surrounded by all their family. The memory of the photo session will be captured and displayed on their wall for the world to see.
