Christmas Gift Ideas
For the people you love (and the ones who are impossible to buy for)
It’s that time of year again… when we all wonder what on earth to get the people we love. The family member who already has everything, the friend who says ‘don’t get me anything’, the dog-obsessed, the new business owner trying to get their business off the ground… I am sure that a few people immediately came to mind.
The good news is that you have come to the right place. Let me make Christmas shopping easy for you this year.
I’ve put together a little Christmas Gift Guide filled with amazing photography experiences rather than more ‘stuff’ that no one really needs.
Here are some thoughtful, unique, and genuinely joyful gift ideas…
For the Camera Enthusiast
My 6-Week beginner’s photography course
We all know that person, the one who’s always taking photos of their dog, kids, or the sunset, but is still stuck on ‘auto mode’. This is the perfect gift to help them take their photography to the next level.
I run 6-week beginner’s photography courses designed to help people finally get comfortable with their camera, understand the basics, and start creating images they’re proud of. It’s a hands-on, friendly course with small group sizes.
The courses run quarterly, so gifting a voucher for the course is an amazing way to start someone’s 2026 with creativity, confidence, and a bit of fun. The vouchers can be used for any of the start dates. (Find the 2026 dates here.)
For the Dog or Horse Lover
A dog or equine photography gift voucher
If you have a friend or family member who talks about their dog or horse more than anything else, I have the perfect gift for them!
A photography session with their four-legged friend is a thoughtful and fun gift, and one they’ll treasure forever. The sessions are relaxed, fun, and occasionally muddy. To me, it’s about capturing the relationship between humans and their animals.
Perfect for dog and horse owners, who are always taking pictures, but are never in the photos with their animal. Sessions can be scheduled anytime throughout the year, and vouchers can be made out to any value (most clients choose a value between £150 and £250).
For Your Single Friend
A dating mini-session voucher
We all have at least one friend who is single, fabulous, and absolutely hopeless at choosing profile photos. Or maybe it’s you. (No judgment. I’ve been there myself.)
My Dating Mini Sessions are short, fun, confidence-boosting shoots designed to capture natural, flattering photos that make someone actually look like themselves. Perfect for dating apps or simply to give your single friend a wee glow-up.
I run these mini sessions a few times a year. New dates will be announced soon. But you can gift the session now, and they can book whenever it suits them.
Honestly, this one is always a hit, people walk away feeling a million times better about themselves… and their matches usually improve too, as they will stand out with better photographs.
For the Business Owner or Side-Hustler
A voucher for one of my headshot days
A voucher for one of my Headshot Days is a brilliant gift for any entrepreneur, job-seeker, or business owner needing to freshen up their professional image. These sessions are quick, relaxed, and give them updated profile photos that look polished but still natural, not stiff, overly corporate, or awkward.
Do you know someone whose LinkedIn profile picture is:
A blurry selfie, a group photo from a night out, a holiday snap with sunglasses and a beer bottle, a photo from 5 years ago, or perhaps even all of them?
Please, help them… 😉
New dates for next year will be released soon, but vouchers can be purchased now and redeemed for a date that suits them.
Ready to Start Your Christmas Shopping?
Why should I gift a photography experience, I hear you ask… Because experiences are personal. They mean something, and they are memorable, thoughtful, and don’t end up stuffed in a drawer or sold on Vinted as an unwanted gift.
Every voucher can be tailored to the person you’re gifting it to, and I’ll walk them through everything when they decide to book. It’s all about making them feel comfortable, confident, and excited.
Drop me a message, and I’ll sort out your vouchers, ready to pop under the tree.
