Holiday Photo Gifts | Family and Friends

‘Tis the season to start creating custom holiday photo gifts for loved ones. November is here and there are so many gifting opportunities within the next few months. As we gather with loved ones this season making new memories, let’s not forget about the past memories we’ve made through the years.

Now let’s show you some of our favorite picture gifts to inspire you during the gifting season. But instead of us giving you just a list, we are going behind the scenes to talk to some of our artisians who spend their days crafting the most beautiful and exquisite print products for Printique.

Meet Jordan B., the Canvas Maestro 

In the bustling heart of Brooklyn, New York, resides Jordan B., a photographer and the mastermind behind our Canvas Department here at Printique. Picture this: a passionate artist with an eye for detail and a heart brimming with creativity. Jordan, with his infectious enthusiasm, shared his love for one particular product that has captured his artistic soul – our Acrylic Cover Photo Album. With a gleam in his eyes, he described it as, “entirely 1 of 1… something so original that if you stumbled upon it in a friend’s home, you’d be compelled to pick it up immediately. The reflective cover just leaps out at you, creating this mesmerizing 3D effect.” 

Even though Jordan’s expertise lies in the Canvas department, this new product fascinated him to talk about Acrylic instead. We couldn’t help but ask him how his work at Printique influences his personal creative journey. His response was profound: “Working alongside so many brilliant minds and crafting something that might find a forever home in someone’s living room makes me infuse love and care into every piece I create.” 

Jordan’s journey through life has been nothing short of a colorful adventure. From the tranquil landscapes of North Carolina to the bustling streets of New York, he’s lived it all. He believes that the concept of ‘rushing’ simply doesn’t align with the creative process. According to him, “When people rush, they don’t leave room for ideas to organically come to them. You have to bask in stillness and allow creativity to find you; that’s the only way truly remarkable work can be born. Living in diverse places has taught me that while the fast pace of big cities fuels our motivation, the unhurried pace of southern towns reminds me of the importance of slowing down.” 

So, here’s the golden nugget of wisdom from our conversation with Jordan B.: don’t rush creativity. In a world that’s constantly hustling and bustling, take a moment to pause. Let your thoughts meander, your ideas breathe, and your creativity flow at its own pace. Remember, the most beautiful things are crafted patiently, with love, care, and an ample sprinkle of unhurried inspiration. So, embrace the stillness, let your creativity wander, and who knows, you might just stumble upon your masterpiece in the quietude of the moment. 

Now a look at some of the trending photo gifts that our artisians craft with meticulous care. Let’s start with our albums and photo books, the pinnacle of thoughtful customized photo gifts.
