A complete gift, with nothing more to pay

This gift card covers everything: a portrait experience in my studio, and a Treasure Box of 12 mounted portraits for the family to keep.

It’s the gift partners give when they’ve noticed mum is always the one behind the camera. And it’s the one grandparents give, because they know what it means to have printed portraits to come back to.

Most families I meet have thousands of photographs on their phones, and almost none of them printed. Nobody means it to happen. It just does, and then the baby is starting school.

A Treasure Box is the opposite of that. Twelve mounted portraits in a box with a window at the front, so the family chooses which one is on show. They change it with the seasons, or when a birthday comes round. The rest sit inside, ready to be lifted out and passed round.

Children notice what’s around them at home. Seeing themselves with their mum every day quietly tells them how loved they are.

What’s included

• The portrait experience. It starts with a call, so I know who’s coming, what they’re like, and what they’d most like to remember about this stage. In the studio, any direction lasts a few seconds. The rest is play, and that’s where the best portraits come from.
• The design consultation. The family sees their portraits on the big screen, and we choose the 12 together. No gallery to work through on their own, and nothing left sitting in a folder.
• The Treasure Box. Twelve mounted 8×6 portraits in walnut, white or black, with a matching social media file for each one.

The gift card is £1,260. That’s everything, from the first call to the Treasure Box in their hands.

To give one, leave your details on the form or call me on 01279 433392. I’ll ask a few questions about who it’s for, so I can send the gift card wherever you’d like it to go.
