Gift Certificates

There was a post on Facebook one Christmas that read:

“All I want for Christmas is… for someone other than me to capture photos of the tiny moments I have with my children. #RealMomLife”

That post was shared ONE HUNDRED ELEVEN THOUSAND times in ONE week!

The mom who wrote it had (at the time) just over 2k followers.

It seems obvious that this post struck a chord among moms everywhere. They want the magical times they share with their children documented. They know these days are a gift and won’t last forever, and they want to be IN the photos with their children (not just the one taking them). And I think it’s pretty safe to say that they don’t care if it’s Christmas, or any holiday at all — they just want to be in their family photos!!

Enter my shameless plug at what a great gift documentary family photography would make for moms! Present your favorite mom with a gift certificate for a documentary family session and give her something she really wants. As an added bonus, it won’t clutter up her home!

Of course, moms immediately come to mind for me, but there are so many people who value real, authentic, moment-driven photographs, not just moms. These gift certificates would make a great gift for expectant moms, proud dads, a bride-to-be, doting grandparents, a group of best friends for their upcoming reunion, crazy cat ladies (totally serious here — I am one myself!!)… anyone that loves someone without boundaries and wants to preserve that love for posterity.

Of course, these can also be used for my Family Yearbook Service as well.

My gift cards are handmade with Metallic Linen paper and Mulberry paper containing bits of dried leaves and flowers nestled all together and adorned with hemp cord and wooden hearts. The to/from can be handwritten or printed out.
