2. Occasions to Celebrate

Although we specialize in travel 🛫 photos, there are so many occasions to celebrate—likely more than you’ve even thought possible! Flytographer shoots are perfect for baby showers, anniversaries, wedding gifts, birthdays, graduations, and more! 🎓

Giving a virtual photo gift card is an ideal way to celebrate those you love who may be separated by a lot of geographical space. 🤳 Flytographer gift cards make incredible, easy, and wildly useful gifts.

Wedding present? The happy couple can use it for their honeymoon or a future adventure. 💋 

Creative baby shower gift idea? Gift cards can be used toward maternity 🤰 photos or once baby is born to commemorate any amazing baby 🚼 or family milestones.

Hard-to-shop-for adults? Gifting parents or peers with a photo shoot is an awesome way to give them something they may not think to do for themselves (be sure to read our Top 5 Meaningful Anniversary Gifts for Parents post for even more ideas).

For the minimalists among us, gift cards are literally the perfect idea and take up zero space 🧳 (we love this minimalist gift guide for the travellers in your life, too!).

3. How it Works

One of the best parts of giving photo gift cards is accessibility. 👏 How a personalized gift card works:

• Go to our Gift Card page
• Choose a shoot length to gift (30 min, 60 min, 90 min, 2 hours, or 3 hours)
• Select a gift card title
• Add a personal message
• Choose to email the gift card directly to the receiver or to yourself the same day, or you can gift it later
• Add the gift card to your cart
• Purchase the gift card

A note if you want to book a shoot for someone else:

Due to the personal nature of photography and the logistics involved, we cannot book photo shoots through or for family/friends; instead, we encourage you to give a gift card. Gift cards allow them to create an account, organize the shoot themselves, and receive their gallery directly. They can also confirm the best time for them, preferred location, and the photographer that best matches their itinerary and style. ❣️ We have found that this kind of photography is a pretty personal experience, so having it feel like an invited experience they have a say in helps them to feel more comfortable in front of the camera on the day! 🥰 Keeping it as a gift card also has the advantage that if for some reason it isn’t possible for them on their current trip, they have the option to use it on a future trip!

4. How to Redeem

Are you a lucky Flytographer gift card recipient? Want to know how to redeem a gift card? Read on!

• Check Availability
  Get started by finding your city on the destinations page (USA and beyond!). 📍 You can check the availability of your preferred photographer by completing an inquiry and creating your Flytographer account. A Shoot Concierge will be waiting to help with any questions you may have. 🙋‍♀️ We recommend inquiring at least 1–2 weeks in advance of your travel date, but further ahead if you have a specific date and photographer in mind.
• Confirm Your Date
  When you receive confirmation of your photographer’s availability, confirm your date and package (this is where you redeem your gift code—“at checkout”). 📆 If you wish to upgrade to a longer package, no problem!
• Plan Your Shoot
  Pick your route and tell us your style preferences. 🗺 Your Shoot Concierge will help confirm the final details with your photographer and put everything together in your Shoot Scoop! A Shoot Scoop gives you all the details you’ll need for your shoot, and your Shoot Concierge is always available to help with any questions you have in advance.
