Can I fill you in on a little secret? Photographers are run ragged during the fall. If we aren’t busy with fall family photos, it’s typically the busiest season for weddings, we are squeezing people in for sessions for their holiday cards, hosting mini sessions with Santa and all the meanwhile? We are also busy with family life, back to school, all the demanding fall sports (hello football, I’m looking at you!) and of course – the holidays with our own families.
Whew, it’s a lot.
And for most of us, when it times come for Christmas or the other end of year holidays we celebrate, I think I speak for us all when I say we just want to feel appreciated. And since decision fatigue is a real thing, I thought to myself: hey, put together a list of Christmas gift ideas photographers would love to receive from their friends and family.
And, I’ll take it a step further and categorize them based on their Love Language. The Love Language book totally changed my life (read more about that here).
