3 Photo Products to Order Now for Christmas Gifts

Every year I tell myself I’m going to get ahead on Christmas shopping…and every year Christmas somehow sneaks up on me. 😂

If you’ve had photos taken this year, though, you might already have a few Christmas gifts checked off your list—you just haven’t ordered them yet!

Photos make some of my favorite gifts because they’re personal, they don’t add more “stuff” just for the sake of giving something, and they’re something grandparents, parents and other family members can actually enjoy for years.

Here are three of my favorite photo products to give as Christmas gifts:

1. Accordion Minis

These little 3x3 accordion minis might be one of my favorite easy photo gifts.

They hold about 10 images and fold up into a small keepsake that’s perfect for a desk, nightstand or just keeping nearby to show off your favorite people.

One of the best parts is that accordion minis come in a set of three, making them a great option if you have several people on your Christmas list. Use photos from your family session and you instantly have gifts for grandparents, great-grandparents or anyone else who would love updated photos.

2. Accordion Books

If you love the idea of the accordion mini but want something a little more substantial, the accordion book is a beautiful upgrade.

These are hardbound and larger at 4x8. Like the minis, they have 10 panels, but the larger size gives your images more room and allows you to include more photos in the design.

They feel more like a finished keepsake book and are a great option when you want to give someone several favorites from your session instead of choosing just one.

3. Framed Prints

Sometimes you already know THE photo.

Maybe it’s your favorite full-family image from your fall session. Maybe it’s a photo of the grandkids. Maybe it’s a senior portrait, a newborn photo or another milestone you want someone to be able to see every day.

That’s when I love a framed print.

Framed prints are available in a variety of sizes and frame styles, so we can create something that works for the person you’re giving it to and the space where it will be displayed.

They’re definitely the higher-end option of these three gifts, but they’re also something that can hang in a home for years.

Give the photos instead of leaving them on your phone

I love digital images. Obviously. 😂

But I also think we’ve gotten so used to having hundreds—or thousands—of photos on our phones and computers that sometimes we forget how special it is to actually hold one or see it displayed in our homes.

If you had a session with me this year and want to turn those photos into Christmas gifts, reach out! I can help you decide which product makes the most sense, choose your images and get everything ordered in plenty of time for Christmas.

And bonus: that might be a few people you can officially cross off your Christmas shopping list.
