The holidays are here and the gift-giving season has begun. Thanksgiving and Christmas are two of the most popular traveling times of the year. The purpose: to see your loved ones. It's about seeing the important people in your life. There's an important connection with being able to reunite with the people that you love, but don't get to see as often as you'd like. 

The solution: You've heard the expression "Take a picture. It'll last longer." That's the perfect solution for a gift. You probably have hundreds of selfies on your smartphone. A selfie indoors. A selfie outdoors. A selfie at work. A selfie lounging at home. Pick your favorite. If you don't have one that you like and want something more professional, I can help with that. Either way, print it. Add a simple frame if you'd like. What a wonderful gift to give. A visual reminder of you so that your loved ones can feel closer to you. 

Maybe you want something of everybody together. I can help there, too. Same idea, though. Print it put it and put it on display somewhere where it will be seen. It can be on a bookcase, a wall, or on your cubicle wall at work. The point is to have these visual reminders that can be seen everyday. 

Our memories are too important to reside in digital version on a thumb drive or SD card somewhere. So while you're out gift shopping, make it a point of printout out some of your own pictures. If you aren't sure how to do this or would like some help, contact me and I'll be happy to help you with your gift giving. And if you need a photographer to help create some beautiful portraits, call to schedule a session or pick up a gift card. It's sure to be a gift that will last a lifetime.
