Family Pictures Make A Really Affordable Christmas Gift

The other great thing about giving family photos as a Christmas gift is that it can be a really effective way of keeping costs down at Christmas while still giving a really thoughtful sentimental gift to those you love.

Christmas costs can really start to mount up, but if you have already had a family shoot done, not only are you able to enjoy the images from it but it’s easier and much more affordable to then use those as Christmas gifts.

What Style Of Images Make A Good Gift

When it comes to the theme or style of images you give to family as a gift you can, of course, give traditional studio-style images but I tend to find that the best images are either ones taken at home or even better ones from an outdoor shoot.

You could make the shoot winter themed to give it a winter theme, especially if it’s snowy when you take the images outdoors. With everyone in winter hats and boots.

Or it could be that you have your photographer take the images at home, with everyone around the fire, mugs of hot chocolate and warm fluffy socks, and Christmas jumpers on!

Or you could decide to go with an autumnal feel for the images. The whole family in matching autumn colours, outside playing in falling leaves with all the autumnal colours popping out of the images.

Or you can go for a full-on Christmas theme, with decorations, jumpers, sleighs etc.

Giving A Photography Gift Voucher As A Christmas Gift

Another wonderful gift idea for your family or friends is to give a photography gift voucher.

It’s a lovely gift to get all year round, but especially this year with budgets stretched families may decide that having their own photo session is a cost they just can’t stretch to but wish that they could.

Therefore giving a gift voucher they can use when it suits them is a really thoughtful gift that lets them capture their own family memories and enjoy the gift long after it’s been given.

I would love to hear what your thoughts are on giving pictures or photography vouchers as a Christmas gift. Is it something you have done? Is it something you would like to do? Or is it a gift you would like to get?
