Holiday Photos & Cards

Holiday Photos Made Easy with Shoott


There’s one thing that’s certain: every year brings moments we want to remember. Some are big and unforgettable, while others are small, everyday memories that become more meaningful with time. At Paper Culture, we are privileged to be invited into a small part of people’s most meaningful life experiences: the birth of a child, a graduating senior, a couple’s wedding celebration, a milestone anniversary, and the tradition of sharing joy with friends and family during the holidays.

Holiday cards have an amazing power to bring people closer. The photos from your wedding celebration, your baby now walking, your child’s missing front teeth, your twins heading off to college, or you and your partner celebrating 20 years together are the stories your friends and family love to receive. They are personal, heartfelt, and a beautiful reminder of the moments that mattered most.

We really do believe that a picture is worth 1,000 words. But sometimes, finding that perfect photo for your holiday cards or Christmas cards can be the hardest part. That’s one of the reasons we partnered with Shoott. Shoott makes it easy to book a professional photo session in your local area with no obligation. If you don’t love your photos, you pay nothing. If you do, you can buy as many or as few as you want. With outdoor photo sessions available across 60+ cities, Shoott offers a simple, flexible way to capture beautiful photos for your holiday cards.

Of course, we not only partnered with Shoott, we used them for many of our own personal holiday photos. Alex, our Customer Service Manager, shared: “We loved our Shoott experience with Anna, our photographer. We are far from comfortable in front of a camera, but she was so personable that she put everyone, including our two dogs, at ease. She knew all the perfect spots. It was so efficient and fun. Just a couple of days later, we received our digital photos and were totally blown away by the quality. We had a blast going through them in Shoott’s easy online interface and ended up buying many more photos than we had planned. It was just a great experience!”
