Los Angeles Family Photographer, Emily Winnie
The holidays are just around the corner, and if you’re anything like me, you’re already thinking about the perfect gifts for your loved ones! Whether you’re planning your family photos or looking for something special to give to friends and family, I’ve got you covered. As your go-to Los Angeles family photographer, I’m excited to share some of my absolute favorite products that will make this holiday season truly unforgettable. These gift ideas are timeless, stylish, and perfect for anyone who wants to preserve memories and share them in a meaningful way.
Albums: A Timeless Classic
Let’s kick things off with a true classic: family photo albums. These are a must-have for families who love to do annual photo sessions (which we highly recommend!). Imagine having a stunning, high-quality album that documents your family’s growth, year after year. Each album features a beautiful layflat design that allows your photos to span across the pages seamlessly. You can fill your album with the best moments from your family photoshoot and look back at the memories for years to come.
Albums are perfect for preserving your family’s journey—from toddler giggles to teenage milestones. They’re the kind of keepsake that never goes out of style, making them a cherished gift for grandparents, partners, or yourself!
Acrylic Blocks: Modern and Chic
Looking for something modern and sleek? Enter the acrylic block! These are one of my personal favorites for families who want to add a contemporary touch to their home or office. Acrylic blocks stand on their own, so you don’t even need a frame. They look stunning on a desk, bookshelf, or mantle. Plus, they make fantastic gifts for grandparents or anyone who loves to show off family photos in a stylish, modern way.
Acrylic blocks are especially great if you want a little splash of personality in your home but aren’t ready to commit to larger wall art. They’re also perfect for gifting—imagine how thrilled your loved ones will be to receive a beautifully printed acrylic block featuring a favorite moment from your recent family photos!
Accordion Books: Cute and Compact
If you’re searching for the ultimate stocking stuffer or a fun, thoughtful gift for grandparents, look no further than accordion books. These little cuties are pocket-sized and hold up to 10 wallet-sized photos. They’re perfect for carrying around with you or slipping into a stocking for a fun surprise!
Accordion books are a sweet way to keep your favorite memories close, and they’re especially perfect for grandparents who love showing off their grandkids to friends. Bonus: they’re also incredibly budget-friendly, making them a great addition to your holiday gift-giving list!
Wall Art: Create a Masterpiece
Nothing transforms a home quite like beautiful wall art, and the holidays are the perfect time to refresh your space with some updated family portraits! I love helping my clients create stunning gallery walls with their family photos. You can add your favorite shots from this year’s session to your existing collection or create a stand-alone piece to hang above your fireplace or in your living room.
Wall art is such a meaningful way to display your family’s personality, and it makes your home feel extra special. Plus, every time you walk by, you’ll be reminded of the wonderful memories captured in your session. Whether you choose acrylic, canvas, framed photos, or a large heirloom wood print, you’re sure to create a stunning focal point in your home!
Gift Certificates: The Gift That Keeps on Giving
Finally, we can’t forget one of the most thoughtful gifts of all: gift certificates! These are perfect for parents-to-be for a maternity session, or anyone expecting a new addition to their family in the new year.
But that’s not all! My gift certificates are also a fantastic option for anyone in need of updated headshots or branding photos. Know someone who’s planning a business launch or a rebrand in 2024? Give them the gift of professional headshots, and they’ll thank you for it!
So there you have it—my favorite products to give (and receive!) this holiday season. Whether you’re looking to create timeless albums, modern wall art, or adorable stocking stuffers, I have something for everyone. Don’t forget to book your family photoshoot early to ensure you have plenty of time to create these magical gifts! Already had a session with me this year?
