Selecting an original gift for your partner can be a daunting task, especially when having children has turned your life upside down. Weekend getaways or romantic dinners may not be feasible with little ones in tow, especially if they are still very young. However, I have an exceptional idea that is sure to leave a lasting impression: giving a photo session. Whether it’s for Mother’s Day, your wedding anniversary, or just because, a photo session is an unforgettable experience. One that will create lifelong memories 😉
Have you considered gifting a photo session for a special occasion?
It doesn’t have to be just for Mother’s Day; it can be a surprise gift for your partner’s birthday or a perfect addition to your next trip.
A photo session is more than just a printed photo that you may have taken yourself and framed. It’s an experience that you can share together – as a couple or as a family, including grandparents if you wish. Keep in mind that a photo session is not only the resulting photos, but also the time you can spend together – as a couple or as a family (with your children, or even with your parents, why not?).
Many people don’t like the idea of “posing” and taking pictures because it sounds like a boring plan, but there are currently many styles of photography that have dispelled the idea of “sitting, standing still, and smiling at the camera.” So don’t hesitate, if you’re not a shy person you can also participate, let loose a little and let them capture your most authentic version.
A photo shoot can be a great opportunity to break away from the monotony of everyday life, spend quality time with your loved ones, and create lasting memories filled with laughter and affectionate moments like hugging, tickling, and kissing. The ages of those involved will affect the final result, as the pace of two children aged 5 and 7 will differ greatly from a 6-month-old baby, but this uniqueness ensures that no two photos will ever be the same. After all, only you are you, right here and now.
Family photos are the perfect personalized gift
That’s right: 100% tailored, completely unique, there will be no two alike… because only your family is your family. So your photos will reflect a small glimpse of what your life is like on that day. Going to a studio is a safe bet to achieve more studied portraits or with more controlled lighting, but if your children are very active, you can also do the session at home or outdoors. In the middle of the city, at the beach, in the countryside… options abound!
Mini family session: a small but mighty gift
Choosing a mini photo session can be a great option for a simple and budget-friendly gift. These are short sessions, only half an hour long, where we focus on capturing the essential and what that moment gives us. Just come without expectations and let yourself be carried away.
Full session, documentary session… which flavor do you choose?
If you and your partner like attention to detail and want to have a lot of variety of images, or if you would like to be able to change clothes or scenery, and be sure that we can overcome any obstacles that the little ones may pose, then a full session would be more suitable.. In a full session, I will dedicate more time to you and we can alternate action and movement photos with some more prepared portraits (always adapting to the ages of the youngest protagonists, who are the ones who really lead the way).
On the other hand, if you would like to focus on your day-to-day life, your domestic routines, and capture your true essence without any tricks or poses, the best gift you can give (or receive) is a documentary-style family photo session. What does that mean? We will spend half a day together in complete calm, portraying how you have breakfast, get dressed, play… or your afternoon routines, whatever they may be. It is the best option for those who hate looking at the camera and want to ensure “stolen” photos that are truly authentic and candid.

Do it for your children too: photos last forever
You may think that taking photos is not that important anymore, especially when we spend all day taking pictures with our phones and storing them in the cloud. However, I am a strong advocate for family photography as a legacy, and all the photos you take of your own family will be a treasure. But that raises the problem of you being in the photos – let’s face it, who takes the pictures at home? For some reason, mothers tend to be the ones who grab the camera to capture everything, but they are never in the photos.
Moreover, photos are not just for you, they are primarily for the little ones. They are a way of telling them that you love them and leaving them memories of a stage they may not always remember consciously. I assure you that your children will love seeing what you were like when they were little. And you can make that memory tangible by printing the resulting photos as copies or in an album.
