Portraits Make Very Good Gifts

Do you remember giving your grandparents a framed copy of your school photo?  As you grow older, do you feel a difference in how you relive that memory, becoming more understanding of how much they appreciated the gift?

Portraits make very good gifts.

With today’s technology, the ways in which you can share a special photograph are almost endless.

There is the traditional gift of a framed photograph, of course.  Although, you can add a special photo to a digital frame and include multiple poses from a professional portrait session.  If your portrait is a family shoot, then your digital frame can scroll through images of the whole family, the kids, mom and dad, the girls, the guys, etc.

Maybe your gift recipient has a favorite pastime or habit.  Tea or coffee lovers would appreciate a mug with the portrait, stuffed with a favorite blend and ready to brew.  The making of the beverage is a ritual, made the more special and personal by the image on the mug.  A break in the day to enjoy a relaxing “cuppa” becomes a quick journey to a happy moment in time.

Would you like to reflect what’s happening in your gift recipient’s life now?  Is he or she getting married?  This might be a great time to gather your candids and get help from a professional photographer in compiling a special coffee table book for the young couple.

For family and friends who are restarting life after a significant change in marital status, now might be a good time to get some old photos professionally repaired.  Breathing new life into a face from the past might be just the inspirational message someone needs in a season when there is so much pressure to be cheerful.

Gift certificates are always a good way to present someone with the message that you care about them and want them to be able to express their own taste and individuality in life.  What better gift certificate than a professional portrait sitting?  Tell your friend how special he or she is and that you want that person to celebrate life with a photo that can be shared and enjoyed for years to come.
