I wanted to take a moment to share with you a gifting idea/concept that I originally saw from my friend over at Marla White Photography's Instagram account. I asked her if I could share her idea and she graciously said yes. But, as I sat on it a while, I decided to add my own flair to it. She suggested that when you give someone a gift certificate, especially for a photo session, that you add a cute frame, a keepsake journal, and journaling supplies. After all, presentation is everything! I immediately fell in love. I absolutely love the idea of a journal to jot down your feelings, milestones, funny things your kids say... I thought to myself, "What would I like as a gift basket?" and it came to me. If I were pregnant or a new mom, I would love something for me and something I could enjoy with my new bundle of joy. So, in my version I added a plant (string of pearls to those who are curious) in a simple, timeless terra cotta pot and books for baby. What's better? Add a sweet note or wish for baby inside the cover of the book. Not only will you be helping to build a library for baby, but the book, plant, and photo session gift certificate are gifts that keep on giving. The books become keepsakes, along with the gift certificate/photo session. You're giving the gift of making memories- preserving memories. And of course, the frame can be repurposed with a beautiful image from their session. I could not think of a more thoughtful gift than this. Moms deserve to be in the pictures too...not just cell phone selfies. Real, authentic, beautiful portraits of motherhood. This is the greatest journey she will ever embark on, it deserves to be preserved for her and her little one. If you'd like to purchase a gift certificate for someone special in your life, click the contact link above or find me on Facebook or Instagram. Gift certificates are available in any amount and a gift basket/goodie box presentation option can be added on for an additional fee. Goodie boxes/Gift Basket can be easily customized for anyone! The options are endless.
Thank you so much for supporting small business and shopping local!
