3 Photo Gifts Every Mom Totally Loves

Are you like me, when getting a gift you really don’t want anything else that will create more clutter in your house. Our babies grow too fast in the first year of life. They will grow and change just as much as they have when they were growing in your belly. But it doesn't stop there, they change so fast. I look at my tweens that are now teenagers, they have changed SO much. 

1. A Newborn Photo Session or a Family Photo Session

Okay yes, I’m a newborn photographer, but I swear I’m not just saying this—there’s truly nothing like having those early days professionally captured. Newborns change overnight, and having those sleepy, snuggly, tiny details saved forever? 

That teenager that is also growing and changing just as fast - give your mom a gift. Be willing to participate in a photo session. I know I’m always grateful. 

2. Framed Photos She Doesn’t Have to Print Herself

Every mom has that one photo she adores but hasn’t gotten around to printing yet. Print it. Frame it. Wrap it up. Instant tears (and major bonus points). Make it match her home or nursery and you’re basically a gift-giving legend.

3. A Custom Photo Album

There’s something extra special about flipping through a real album that is museum quality and will last forever. In 10 years I guarantee you won’t be gathering around your cloud dive to look at those photos. Like, phone scrolls just can’t compare. A beautiful, custom-designed book filled with her favorite moments? Yes, please. It’s something she’ll keep forever—and actually look at.

So yeah, if you’re ever stuck on what to get a mom, go with something photo-related. It’s personal, meaningful, and gets better with time—just like motherhood. 💛
