Why offering photography as a gift is so special
Offering photography as a gift is a thoughtful and unique way to celebrate life’s most meaningful moments. A professional photo shoot is more than just pictures—it’s an experience that creates memories your loved ones can treasure forever. Whether it’s for Christmas, a birthday, an anniversary, or even a baby shower, photography gifts show care and creativity.
What to consider when offering a photo shoot as a gift
Before you surprise someone with a photo shoot, there are a few important things to think about to make sure the experience feels truly personal.
- Will the recipient enjoy my style?
You may love the way I capture natural, relaxed portraits, but it’s important to check if your loved one shares the same taste. Some people prefer posed, traditional images or studio sessions, while I often work outdoors or in your home for an authentic feel. - Do they have time for the shoot?
Gift vouchers are valid for one year from purchase. It’s worth making sure your recipient has the time and interest to book within that period. Sometimes the excitement of the giver doesn’t quite match the recipient’s schedule, so a quick conversation helps. - Should it be a surprise or a planned present?
Surprises are wonderful, but discussing the gift beforehand can make it even more meaningful. By explaining why you’re offering photography as a gift, you’ll help your loved one see the value of professional portraits compared to everyday snapshots. - Are they comfortable signing a contract?
All photography sessions require a signed contract. If you’d like to see a draft before purchasing a voucher, I’ll happily share one so you can feel confident in your gift.
What to include in a photoshoot gift experience
When offering photography as a gift, it helps to think about the package that best suits the recipient. I provide different portrait collections, and I often recommend vouchers that cover a full collection so your loved one doesn’t have to add their own payment.
For new mums, a gift certificate makes a perfect baby shower present when friends and family contribute together. For newly engaged couples, a photography gift could even go towards their dream wedding photography. Talking with your recipient beforehand ensures the gift feels personal and practical.
What I offer when you’re gifting a photo shoot
I make offering photography as a gift simple and flexible. You can choose from any of my portrait or wedding photography collections, or purchase a gift certificate starting from CHF 100. All vouchers are valid for one year, with the first session scheduled within that time.
You’ll receive a beautifully designed voucher—either posted to you or sent digitally to print at home—detailing the collection or amount and its expiry date. If you’re contributing toward a shoot rather than covering the full amount, I’ll arrange a conversation with your recipient so they understand how the pricing works.
