Why we all need family photographs

We all need family photographs – they are records of who we all are and are the most precious possessions of many people. We take them because we want to remember always a moment in time, or an event, or a thing, or a person.

Can we remember these things without a photograph? Of course. 

But while we might remember the feeling of a place or a person, we won’t remember details because time chips away at them and the edges blur and fade. Eventually these things, these people, become indistinct memories, like looking back on a party where you had too many cocktails.

Pick up a picture and you have the details right in front of you

These pictures are what we pass down to our children and their children.

Family photographs are how our children’s grandchildren will know us. They’re an investment in your family history and grow in value over time, becoming heirlooms and treasures.

They’re what you look at every day in your home and and think “actually, everything IS all right. More than all right.”
