Unique Gift Idea: Custom Storybooks

If you’re looking for a truly unique gift for your child (and you!), Plus One Photography has a treasure of a keepsake that you’ll love—custom-made fairytale storybooks starring your child and her favourite toy. With these books, artist and photographer Zeynep Dogu Cameron has taking child photography to a new dimension.

It starts with a photoshoot

This isn’t a book where you simply give the company your child’s name and wait for the book to be sent back to you.

Each book starts with a fun-filled three-hour photoshoot with your child. Zeynep provides costumes from around the world that work with the story, then has your child pose to match what happens. Your child’s favourite toy even needs its picture taken since it will become part of the book (and so do you—well, at least your lower body).

Then comes the book

After the photoshoot, Zeynep inserts the photos into beautifully painted fantasy scenes from Russia, India, and Japan as your child travels around the world looking for her missing toy. While the story is sweet, your child will be most excited about seeing her (and her toy’s) name in print, along with pictures of her in fantastic costumes.

The book offers a unique way to display beautiful photos of your child so that they will continue to be enjoyed regularly for years to come. Unlike a photo that sits on a shelf collecting dust, Zeynep’s custom storybook will be held, loved, and cherished as your child reads and re-reads it.

Quality endures

Zeynep has taken great care to ensure your story is something that will endure for years. The hard-covered book has thick pearl press paper that will stand up to years of reading and that exudes a luminous glow. You can feel the difference in the paper compared to other books and you’ll fall in love with it immediately.

You’ll also receive a matching case to store your book in for extra protection and to add to the specialness of the package—perfect for gift-giving.

Options

Zeynep offers several options to suit your needs. If you have multiple children, siblings can be included in the book, and the story will work for both boys and girls. There are several packages available, including different sizes of canvass pictures, greeting cards and reduced pricing for multiple books, meaning you can get one for your family, and one for each of the grandparents, too.
