Christmas season is upon us and while you are scrolling Amazon wishlists or braving an overcrowded mall to shop for your loved ones, I’d like to suggest to you something a little different!
A few years ago I started a Destination Photo Session Trip for Seniors and Couples! It is a once-in-a-lifetime experience of travel combined with getting professional beautifully edited images taken. Exploring castle ruins in gorgeous outfits while your photographer follows you around like the paparazzi!
Here are our top 5 reasons why you should give the gift of a Destination Photo Trip this Christmas!
1. IT’S AN AMAZING WAY TO SEE A NEW COUNTRY.
Imagine visiting top tourist destinations but when they are empty and you are the only people seeing them! This is a reality when you book a trip with Rebecca Jane Photography! We visit incredible locations but during the best times to avoid the crowds! We plan out our itinerary to be efficient and rewarding for our clients. I spend HOURS UPON HOURS planning your stay with us from the village we stay in to outfit recommendations for your photoshoots, to the tide charts and the weather forecasts!
2. YOUR PHOTOS WILL BE UNLIKE ANY YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY HAVE SEEN.
Waterfalls, castles, cobblestone roads, sheep-covered hills, mossy forests. The number one request I recieve from clients is that they don’t want to use the locations that they see in all of their classmates’ and friends’ photos! No problem! Let’s photograph you in Scotland.
If you are game, we love doing creative shoots as well as your straightforward portrait session. The past few years some of my destination clients have participated in The Mermaid Series which involves incredible Professional Hair and Makeup and Sequin dresses on an Irish Beach
3. IT’S AFFORDABLE.
For what you might pay for a plane ticket out west you can get to Europe. And this trip costs less than what most families pay to go to Disney World! One of my clients used some of her tax refund to take her daughter on this trip. Another client booked this trip for their honeymoon. While another client’s daughter paid for the entire trip herself with her hard-earned money. And none of them regret it!
We also offer payment plans if you need the help, but once you see how affordable it really is you might be surprised!
4. YOUR PERSON WILL NEVER FORGET THIS TIME WITH YOU.
Seeing and exploring new places is an incredible way to bond and grow closer.
Recently Engaged? Just imagine how awesome those Save-The-Dates will be!
Just married? Make this a part of your honeymoon!
Are you starting to grieve the knowledge that your baby is all grown up and less than a year away from graduation? This is the perfect time to hop a plane to the Scottish Highlands and make some beautiful memories together that she can keep close to her regardless of time. Oh yeah, and get her Senior Pictures done! :)
5.Travel is the gift that never breaks or expires.
Don’t get me wrong- I love flowers. And picture frames. And Cheese -But the best gifts my parents ever gave me when I was growing up was adventure. Road trips and Airplane travel to places I had never seen before. For the rest of my life I will always remember floating with them in the Dead Sea, hiking the Grand Canyon, walking down the streets of Mackinaw Island. Instead of lots of Christmas gifts this year, we brought our daughters to Ireland with us. The memories that they made (even though they are young) will stay with them their whole lives. They will look back at our picture books and recall moments together.
And I’LL always remember when the 3 year old was over-tired and in a fit of rage slapped a whole cup full of Apple Juice in my lap at the beginning of our long flight home. But I’ll also remember how they looked against the impossible green of the fields, their blond hair blowing in the salty air and their rosy cheeks flushed from being outdoors and away from their battery-operated gadgets.
I will always remember the excitement my husband and I feel as we plan a trip. How we laugh about the the hilarious moments that happen when traveling abroad. And then the wonderful feeling we get when we come home.
Let us show you how amazing this Land and Her people are!
