As a family photographer, I might be a little biased—but I truly believe the best gift you can give is the gift of a photo session. Whether it’s freezing a moment in time with your growing kids, capturing the sweet chaos of siblings home for the holidays, or celebrating a new season of life (college, engagements, or even just because!), photos are gifts that only become more valuable with time.

They don’t get lost in the shuffle or forgotten in a drawer—they hang on walls, live in frames, and tell your family’s story for years to come. Every time you look back at them, you remember not just what you looked like, but how it felt to be there.

But… I also love other types of gift giving too! (Especially Stocking Stuffers!)

Even though I’ll always advocate for gifting experiences and memories, I have to admit—I’m a total sucker for finding the perfect little gifts, too. Stocking stuffers are my weakness! There’s just something about filling those small spaces with personality, laughter, and a bit of thoughtfulness that makes my heart happy.

Every year, I love curating ideas for teen boys and girls, young men and women—those tricky ages that are fun but sometimes hard to shop for. Here are a few of my go-tos this season:
