TOP PHOTOGRAPHY GIFTS FOR MOTHER’S DAY 2013

Photo Books

Odds are that mom has a ton of photos that she’d love to do something with, but just doesn’t have the time to get it organized. Head over to a site like Lulu and in just a few minutes you can create a custom photo book design and add all the precious photos that mom would love to keep handy, complete with a high-quality cover.

Photo Canvas

Does mom have a favourite shot or two that she would love to hand on the wall? How about having the photo printed on canvas for a professional look? Check out Canvas Pop for details, sizes, and prices. Consider printing a series: such as your child at different ages or one of each child in your family for maximum impact (and to decorate a hallway or living room wall).

Photo Shoot

How about purchasing a photo shoot for mom this year? Perhaps she’s been longing to get some professional photos of the kids, the family, or just her and dad. Or maybe she’s been hinting at some boudoir shots? There are many great photographers out there who can help out.

Jewelry

The folks over at Snapfish have an amazing selection of jewelry that can quickly and easily be customized with photos of a loved one. Whether a charm bracelet, locket, or a photo jewelry box there’s something for every budget.

Canon EOS Rebel SL1

Is mom looking to take the leap from snapshots to amazing photos? Perhaps it’s time for a new camera. The SL1 boasts the smallest size in an SLR body, with a ton of features that will keep mom busy while she learns the ropes and has a blast learning how to take incredible images of whatever catches her eye.

Gorgeous Bag

Nothing says “I love you Mom” like an amazing bag that can fit everything from diapers to camera gear. Kelly Moore has an awesome selection of bags in a variety of sizes and colors, or consider a gift certificate if she’s rather pick it out herself.

Photography Class

Does mom need a little help taking her photography skills to the next level? Does she complain that her camera just isn’t doing what she wants it to do, or that her photos don’t have as much impact as she wants them too? It sounds like a photography workshop could be the solution – check out my How to Photograph Your Kids workshop, being held at least monthly, or look for a similar class in your local area.
