About 12 years ago, well before I became a professional photographer, I gifted a family photo session to my sister. Today, several of the photos from that session hang on her walls and keep the memories from those days alive, memories that she and my brother-in-law grow fonder of each day as their girls grow older. I’ve gifted many things to my sister over the years, but this is the one gift that has grown more valuable with time.

Here are 5 reasons why a photo session will make the perfect gift for that special person in your life.

#1 Photography is a Gift That Will Never Go Out of Style. 

Photography is a gift that stands the test of time. While, trends and fads come and go photos become more valuable with time. Photos become part of our legacy and they are cherished for years and generations to come.

#2 Photography Captures a Moment in Time and Preserves Memories. 

Portraits capture people (places and animals too) in brief and fleeting moments. Photos document growth and become part of our story and allow us to look back and cherish the past. It’s a beautiful thing to be able to hold on to special memories with photographs. A photograph is more than an image though, it’s something that can convey emotion and sentiment which adds rich details to the memory.

#3 Photography is a Personalized Gift. 

Season, location and wardrobes are just some of the elements that make a portrait session a personalized gift. The people, emotion and feelings captured further personalize the portraits making them uniquely personal. And when you work with a professional photographer, the entire experience will be personalized to ensure that all of the desired photos are captured.

#4 Photography is Art.

Photos are made so they can be seen and admired. Photos come to life in printed formats and add warmth, interest and a personal touch to interiors when displayed on walls and tabletops.

#5 Photography is the Gift That Keeps on Giving. 

Prints and wall art can be gifted to parents, friends, or loved ones. Photos can be shared on social media and used for holiday cards, calendars, Christmas tree ornaments and printed in beautiful albums. And of course, seeing and viewing photos that capture the some of the most important things in life like family and friends will always warm the heart and bring a smiles to faces. 

So consider the gift of photography if you are looking for a gift that will be enjoyed for years to come and you will have a most enjoyable and memorable gift giving experience.
