Here you will find some of the most common questions that we get every week around our in-home photography gift vouchers. 

Are photography gift vouchers a good idea?

If you're looking for something that is unique and memorable then you won't go wrong with a photography gift voucher.

We believe it is as close to the perfect gift as possible for these three reasons:

1. A photography gift voucher is completely personalised

   Every in-home family photo session is unique and will result in having a product that is literally the only one of its kind in the world! After all, THAT moment at THAT time can never be captured again.

2. It can be whatever they want it to be

   Newborn photography, young family photos, teen and adult photos, maybe get the grandparents involved; if they want to wait a bit longer and capture the baby when they are a little older - that is also ok! The gift is the ‘opportunity to create something based around their family bond’, however they would like to remember it.

3. They will remember your gift forever

   When they look at the images on their wall every day, or however they decide to display them, they will always have a reminder of the irreplaceable gift that you gave them.

Who are photography gift vouchers for?

Over the years the two most popular times our customers send an in-home photography gift voucher are:

1. Maternity gifts, baby showers or newborn photography.

2. Christmas gifts for expecting parents and older families.

Give them the nudge

Very often families get caught up in their lives and are busy.

All too often they regret not having photos of their family captured, or truthfully speaking, they are just not the kind of people to have photography and wouldn’t ordinarily do so without the nudge!

Because they were gifted a photography session that takes place in their home, maybe the family won't feel as shy.

No one ever regrets having had the experience and almost every single family we’ve met since 2016 would have another family photography shoot again.

We endeavour to give every single customer of ours a great experience (read the reviews!) and all of our families say they would consider having a family photography session in the future.

Some of the most sceptical are completely converted and we see them 3 or 4 times again - that’s a big win!

How much do you need to spend on the voucher?

$295 is the minimum package that we offer.

Baby and family photography can be expensive by nature - some people spend thousands.

We have found a way to keep the cost low and included flexibility for those who are on a budget, without sacrificing integrity or quality.

The $295 ‘Basic Package’ covers the travel, the photography, retouching and service.

We also include 5 images from the 20 or so that we create. This means that a family receiving a photography gift need not spend a cent.

Better still, if want to, they can use the voucher as a springboard to add more on to their package if they want.; or use the initial spend as an amount toward something else they like (maybe they prefer stone to canvas for example).

When gifting, you need to be sure that the gift will not require any further spend.

How long do gift vouchers have until they expire?

We put an expiry dates on our handmade vouchers because it gives the recipient a bit of a nudge to get it done. If there is a 6 month expiry date on there, it reminds people to use it.
New families or growing families can be so busy that time simply gets away from them.

Of course, the voucher can be extended upon request and the value does not expire.

This gives our ‘gifters’ peace-of-mind when buying and knowing that the gift is flexible. 

I will gift voucher suitable for newborns?

Around 80% of the vouchers that we sell are for newborns and parents having new babies in the family.

Very often people don't want to capture the newborn stage, or for some reason they are not able to due to complications or maybe cultural reasons. This is not a problem and actually we are one of the few teams that champion older baby photography!

Is a photography gift voucher suitable for older families with young kids or teenagers?

20% of the gift vouchers we sell are for families with younger kids or teenagers.

The in-home format works really well for families of all ages and very often we will meet grandparents, pets and even the whole clan!

We have had five generations in one room for one of our generation shoots. We find that people are much more comfortable at home and relaxed and you will find those natural bonds coming out far easier than when they are in a foreign environment.

Can we send a photography gift voucher from another country?

All of our vouchers can be ordered from anywhere in the world, and we have sold gift vouchers for families in Sydney to ‘gifters’ in 10 countries around the world.

The most popular countries are UK, USA, Singapore and India. Of course, interstate families from all over Australia are buying their loved ones in Sydney an in Home photography gift voucher too.

How long does the voucher take to arrive? Is there a last-minute option?

If there is something more urgent needed, we have an instant gift option that is very popular and can be purchased from anywhere in the world and sent within two minutes.
