    Photobooks Make For Perfect Valentine’s Day Gifts

    With Valentine’s Day quickly approaching, I imagine that many of you are out shopping for gifts for your significant others. My hope is that your Valentine’s Day shopping isn’t of the “scrambling for something at the last minute” variety. Certainly, I can understand having a busy schedule being a reason that finding the perfect gift can be a tough task. And that’s why I’m so excited to offer a one-of-a-kind heart-melting approach to wowing the love of your life!red hearts and a valentines day gift

    Gentlemen, I have the perfect solution to your “What do I get my lovely lady?” woes. PhotoWise offers professionally designed photobooks and photo gifts to truly showcase how special your relationship is. I probably don’t have to remind you how sentimental we often get when it comes to commemorating special occasions such as Valentine’s Day and anniversaries. Photobooks and photo gifts are excellent choices for either occasion!

    It’s the romantic and sentimental choice. 😉

    You know the old saying “it’s the thought that counts”?

    Custom photobooks and photo gifts are the epitome of putting great thought into a gift!  This is because it takes some effort on your behalf to tell the story of your relationship through pictures. I’m certainly not the only one to think so. On AskMen.com, Steph Arthur agrees that what women most want as gifts for Valentine’s Day are personalized symbols of affection that show you put thought behind the gesture.

    “If you’re going to spend on her at all, spend on something original,” she advises, “Something personal, tailored to her to make her feel special. And it doesn’t have to be big. That’s the beauty about thoughtful gifts, size and cost have nothing to do with it. It’s literally just the thought that counts.”

    The best part about photobooks and photo gifts is that I make it very easy for you! I will work together with you to select the photos that you think best capture the love shared between you and your partner. I’ll even work with you on choosing a concept.

    Step 1: Choose ten or more photos that you love of your significant other.  Step 2:  Make a written list of ten important reasons you fell in love with her. Step 3: Contact me to discuss the various options and send me your photos and list. Step 4: Voila! I will hand deliver your special one-of-a-kind gift to you and you can choose the right moment to surprise her with it!

    The Wedding Anniversary Canvas Print

    Another gift option to consider is having us turn your favourite wedding or honeymoon photo into a large canvas print that can be displayed on a wall in your home. Nothing quite says “I love you” like a huge display of the start of your life as a couple!

    Keep in mind that photobooks and photo gifts don’t just work well as Valentine’s Day gifts. They are ideal anniversary gifts as well. I point this out, especially because of the time it takes to complete the photobook package. I recommend the collection and submission of photos two months in advance of the date you wish to offer the photobook as a gift. For next year’s Valentine’s Day orders, I suggest getting the photos to us by December 1st.

  • A Yearbook To Celebrate Your Family

    A Yearbook To Celebrate Your Family

    Year-In-Review: One Of The Best Ways To Celebrate Your Family

    Happy New Year everyone! I would like to offer you my best wishes and hopes that it will be a year that will provide you with many wonderful new memories!

    Here at PhotoWise, we’re big on preserving memories, and that’s why we offer a number of unique and special custom services that enable you to beautifully preserve your family photos and stories. (Including the family yearbook photo book!)

    We’ve just come off another wonderful holiday season and I’m willing to bet that you posed for family and friends to take photographs – as well as took a bunch of shots yourself.  After all, the holiday seasons are the biggest “photo taking” times of the year. (Those mobile phone cameras are so darn handy aren’t they?!)

    But what happens to all of those holiday photos after they’re taken?

    In years of past, the photos would usually end up in sticky photo albums, cut and glued into scrapbooks, or stored in shoeboxes. Today, they are mainly stored digitally on computers or mobile devices – spread throughout the many smartphones of the people who took the pictures. In some cases, a few of them end up on Facebook and social media but there’s never really any tangible account of the celebrations you enjoyed in each holiday season. All too often, the memories of those happy faces, activities and traditions become hazy as the photos get lost in their respective social media timelines or dropped into a miscellaneous (and eventually misplaced) folder on your computer.

    How can we help you to preserve your cherished holiday memories?

    We recommend the creation of an annual Family Yearbook!  Each year, around this time, we help our clients to collect their favourite photos from the previous year so that they can be edited, organized and exquisitely displayed in a one-of-a-kind hardcover custom photobook.  The family ‘year-in-review’ photobook is a big favourite in our family – everyone wants to turn the pages and reminisce about ‘that time when ….’ and laugh about the ‘out-take’ page that we add at the back for laughs.

    These professionally-designed yearbooks take away the frustration that often accompanies the thought of having to find the time and energy to preserve and organize your treasured photos all by yourself. In addition, the Family Yearbooks we create for our clients are excellent ways to establish priceless family heirlooms that can be passed down from generation to generation.
