The Free Photo Gift Tracker Every Parent Needs This Holiday Season
This idea came to me the other day and I HAD to create it.
You love giving photo gifts — but can you remember who got what?
If you've ever found yourself wondering, “Wait… did I give Grandma that photo calendar already for her birthday?” — you're not alone.
Photo gifts are one of the most meaningful ways to share your favorite memories with family. From mugs and calendars to ornaments and framed prints, they’re heartfelt, personal, and often inexpensive. But if you give them often (especially during holidays and birthdays), keeping track of what you’ve already given can get confusing — fast.
Why This Happens to So Many Parents
Let’s be real: your camera roll is overflowing with toddler smiles, messy faces, and moments you meant to turn into gifts. But life moves fast, and by the time gift season rolls around again, you’re scrolling through old orders and trying to remember what you sent to whom.
That’s where the Photo Gift Tracker comes in.

Your free PDF includes:
✅ A filled-out sample tracker to show you how it works

Why I Made This (And Why You’ll Love It)
I’m Jess McDaniel — a Boston-based family photographer and mom of two. I’ve spent more than 20 years helping parents document their families through Boston Baby Photos and my online programs under the Iconic Set by Boston Baby Photos®.
Over the years, I’ve seen hundreds of parents create beautiful photo gifts — and I’ve also seen the overwhelm.
This little tracker is my way of saying: you’re doing great, and I’ve got your back.
You don’t need a complicated system. You just need a simple tool to help you stay present, intentional, and organized when it comes to your photo memories.
