Not every mom wants flowers or jewellery for Mother’s Day, at least not in the traditional sense. Spoil your mom or wife this spring with these unique Mother’s Day gifts for photographers. We rounded up plenty of ideas to make your shopping a “snap” this year.
Mother’s Day Gifts for Photographers
From camera accessories to photography themed gifts, these ideas are perfect for a mom who loves to take pictures as a hobby or who runs a professional photographer business.
Personalized Leather Camera Strap
If she runs her own photography business you can have this personalized with her business name. You could also just get her name, or even a personalized message, instead too!
Photographer Mom Shirt
Perfect for the photographer mom who’s juggling both a baby and passion for taking photos. If white around kids isn’t the best choice (which it’s not), you can grab this tee in almost any color mom might want.
Backpack Camera Case
Most camera cases are satchel or messenger bag style, which isn’t always practical for moms. I like that this one works like a mini backpack; perfect for carrying camera equipment hands free when little ones are in tow.
Baby Bodysuit
Mother’s Day really should be about the mother, but if she’s a new or expecting mom adding something photography related for the baby is a nice touch. After all, babies don’t care what they’re wearing; cute onesies are for the adults!
Retro Camera Flower Pot
Flowers are traditional Mother’s Day gifts and these ones are perfect for the photographers in your life. Once your flower pot arrives fill it with a plant, fresh flowers, or a succulent.
Personalized Camera Ornament
Almost everything on this unique gift can be personalized. Choose the wire color, then have it customized with one or two words in the middle. You could even do the kids’ names!
Photo Printer
I know that we do everything digital now but it’s always nice to have printed photos, especially of the kids. If your photographer mom agrees, get her a wireless photo printer for Mother’s Day.
Lens Cap Coffee Mug
If you know how expensive these are you’ll understand why this makes a fun gift. It really does look like a lens cap. I love that it also has a lid, perfect for moms on the go or with grabby handed toddlers.
Photography Pencils
These are a fun, inexpensive gift that are cute additions to a photography themed gift basket or as budget friendly Mother’s Day gifts.
Freeze Time T-Shirt
Kids grow up so fast and most parents wish they could freeze time. Photography does this, at least in some way, and that truly is a superpower.
Mirrorless Camera
Go big this Mother’s Day and get your photography loving wife or mom a new camera. If you are upgrading, mirrorless is the future of cameras and as someone who has one myself – so worth the investment.
Editing Day Wine Cup
We all know that a photographer’s job isn’t done once the shoot is over. When she’s ready to edit this personalized wine tumbler is a great pick-me-up on a busy editing day.
Personalized Planner
Juggling kids and a photography business or hobby can be tricky! This personalized planner, designed to be started on any month, is a handy way to stay organized. The best part? It’s even refillable!
Pose Book
Even a seasoned photographer appreciates some extra inspiration from time to time. Not only is this a great book to expand on her skills, it’s also a nice coffee table or home office addition too.
Camera Keychain
This is super cool! It’s a little instant camera style keychain, but inside is a place to put a square photo. Find a great family photo and tuck it inside for a thoughtful Mother’s Day gift. This one also comes in a 5 pack, great for giving to a group!
Photography Inspired Candle
This handmade soy candle is scented like a vintage camera: aged leather, woods, and patchouli. If that’s not mom’s vibe, this shop also has some other photography inspired options like “No Filter” and “The Dark Room” too.
Photography Ideas Cards
After having kids it’s easy to lose inspiration, especially if you’re in the throes of motherhood. This handy stack of cards comes with 72 different photography ideas and challenges to get the creative juices flowing.
Life is Like a Camera Wooden Sign
Wooden signs and other home decor pieces make nice Mother’s Day Gifts for photographers. She can hang this one up almost anywhere: around the house, in her home office, or at a photography studio. Great words to live by, especially if you’re raising kids!
Vintage Camera Earrings
You can’t have a list of Mother’s Day gifts without including at least one piece of jewellery. Of course, if you’re shopping for a photography loving mama you can’t just buy any old thing; and I just love these adorable vintage style enamel earrings.
Photographer Memoir
This one might seem a little off the wall, but we’re all about unique gifts here. If you’re shopping for a photographer mom who likes to read, especially poignant or thought provoking books, this memoir is offers a unique perspective from the lens of one of history’s more infamous photographers.
Mom is sure to fall in love with these camera-friendly gifts. She will most certainly appreciate the thought and effort that went into finding her the perfect Mother’s Day gift for a photographer.
