The first ripe gooseberries of the season caught me off guard.
I hadn’t expected them yet — growing quietly on the bush my husband planted by accident. One year for Mother’s Day, I asked for a wisteria vine and blueberries — to eat. But instead, Tom came home with wisteria, blueberry plants… and blackberry plants… and gooseberry plants.
It’s the gooseberries that brought something back.
Growing up in Eugene, Oregon, I used to reach through the deer fence around my grandma’s garden to sneak tart gooseberries with my cousins. We’d pucker at the sourness, laughing with stained fingers and summer in our hair. This year, as I picked the first ones from our garden here in the Netherlands, it was like stepping into a memory.
The Best Gifts Aren’t Things — They’re Moments
That’s exactly what I hope my photography gift certificates become — a way to bottle up a season of life before it shifts into the next one.
These gift vouchers for photo sessions are perfect for:
- Family photo shoots
- Couple or engagement sessions
- Maternity photography
- Personal portraits or branding sessions
They’re redeemable anywhere in the Netherlands — whether you’re in Eindhoven, Amsterdam, Utrecht, or the Dutch countryside. And yes, they’re even valid across borders in beautiful places like Gent, Belgium.
Each gift certificate is valid for 12 months from the date of purchase. This gives your recipient time to plan their ideal session. When you purchase the gift certificate, you include their contact information so that I can follow up with planning their ideal photoshoot.
Add a Personal Touch: Chocolate + Handwritten Card
The certificates can be delivered digitally, or wrapped with care and sent physically. Optional gift packaging includes:
✨ A handwritten card from the Van Gogh Village Museum
🍫 Dutch chocolate from Maurice Daamen
📬 Mailed to your recipient or ready to give yourself
Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, an anniversary, a new baby, or a farewell, this is a meaningful and lasting gesture. This one goes beyond “just stuff.”
