Why Family Photos Make Wonderful Holiday Gifts

Family Photos Provide Your Loved Ones with Memories that Last a Lifetime

October is almost over. That means that the holiday season is around the corner. Hanukkah starts the Sunday after Thanksgiving. Christmas follows a short month later. Therefore, now is the time to start thinking about the perfect gift to give your family that has meaning and will not collect dust in a corner of the house.

Family portraits are a great way to provide your family members with memories that last a lifetime. These photos show your family at this stage of their lives (which is different from any before and after stage). Giving a family portrait or album as a gift allows your extended family members to capture your family in their element every year for a timeline of their loved one's lives.

The Gift of Time

Everyone says they would love the gift of time. They would love to go back to relive a time in their lives when kids were younger, when they were together as a family, and when they spent time together enjoying the holidays. As kids grow up and create families of their own, those thoughts become memories of times that no one can ever get back.

Family portraits given as framed art or a beautiful photo album can give your family that time they dream of. You can capture your family moments when everyone is together for the holidays. You can capture those family beach vacations. You can capture time in a camera and display it for the world (or your friends and family) to see.

The Gift of Priceless Memories

Each portrait captures a memory of a time your family was together and having fun. When you give these photos as a gift to your family members, you are providing a gift of priceless memories. When family members look at the photos, they will smile as they see your family enjoying each other and having fun.

Professional family portraits can capture a moment in time. This moment in time can display your family in their element. When others look at the photo, they will feel the love and emotion you each feel for each other.

As a result, you are giving your parents or grandparents, aunts and uncles, and brothers and sisters the gift of priceless memories. These portraits can invoke a moment of nostalgia when everyone was together and having a great time.

All the Feels

When you give your family the gift of memories and time, you create more intense feelings than any memory deserves. You may bring tears to a family member's eye as they remember all the amazing family events, vacations, and moments that create a life and a family.

This holiday season, give your family the gift of memories, time, and feelings. Schedule your fall family portrait session to capture the memories that last a lifetime. 

Gift certificates are also another way to "gift" during the holiday season!  Whether you want to surprise a special someone with a gift of family or want to include them in the photoshoot, do not wait until the last minute to give the gift of family this holiday season.
