Finding a Christmas gift for Grandma is a challenge. My mom doesn’t really “need” anything these days and her wish lists are always small or non-existent. Every year, I search for meaningful gifts to help show her how special she is. Grandma can never get enough photos of the kids, so this is where Portrait Innovations helped me find the perfect Christmas gifts for Grandma this year.
Portrait Innovations specializes in capturing your family in a fun and natural way. Your session can include your children, immediate family, and even extended family members. I opted to do a session with my four children and decided to dress them up for the occasion. I worried about four kids making it through family photos on a Wednesday evening, but the photographer was clearly an expert cat herder. She moved my family seamlessly through the session, adapting to their needs, and even getting the baby to smile.
When you make an appointment with Portrait Innovations, you create a dedicated time for your portrait session. This allows for both background and outfit changes, if you desire. This means your family can capture formal and casual, holiday and every day, all in one session. Right now, your local studio is offering festive backgrounds, gift ideas, and holiday cards. We even ordered photo gift tags to add a special touch to our presents this year!
Just one session with Portrait Innovations allowed me to capture individual photos of each of my children, group pictures, and even create montages of multiple images. This means that I can make calendars, books. canvasses, and more as Christmas gifts for grandma this year featuring each of my children. I recommend reviewing the different portrait packages available before your session to expedite the purchasing process. 
I’ll confess that the sheer volume of photos delighted and intimidated me simultaneously at my session. When we sat down to go through the picture selection process, I wondered how I would ever narrow them down. Once again, the professional photographer made the process smooth and enjoyable. We went through a smart and efficient process where the photographer showed me three similar shots and I picked my favorites. By the time we reached the product selection phase, I’d narrowed down the photos to a manageable number.
Choosing favorites meant letting go of some photos I loved, but only for the primary products of my chosen package. I had the option to purchase digital copies of our photos to share with family online or print in a later purchase. With my online Portrait Innovations account, I can also take advantage of specials for jewelry, mugs, or other photo gifts using the family pictures from my session.
Portrait Innovations is an excellent solution to the Grandma Christmas gifts challenge! The never charge sitting fees and you can have your photographs printed in studio within 30 minutes or even arrange to pick them up at a later date. Photos gifts are especially ideal for shipping to relatives and friends who live at a distance and are a truly a gift grandma will enjoy all year.
