Print your Phone camera memories for your memory box. You'll be happy to finger through them in years to come. Electronic photos might be unavailable in years to come. And, viewing them on a phone or computer doesn't give the same tactile pleasure as holding a print in your hands.
Printed photos are The BEST at jogging our memories of times past. In a moment, you are transported back in time to when the photo was taken, flooding your senses.
Take a few minutes to jot down the date of the image and the name of the person/people and/or location of the image on the back so your children can relate the image to the family timeline. We've all played that game of .... "when were we at …." Or, "what was that special occasion ?'
We had a Family/Friend Celebration recently. We pulled out a couple of boxes of photos and the energy elevated immediately. Photos were passed all around. Stories filled the rooms from all corners. The smiles grew.
Kids love old photos. It might be of them when they were younger. Or, the photos might be of generations before they were born. It gives them a sense of where they came from and reminds them of the important people in their lives.
Then, there's the intrinsic value of wall portraits. Family wall portraits provide a subtle sense of belonging. And after a tough day at school or at work, those gentle reminders of who and what is truly important in your life can soften that tough day.
Portraits displayed in your home reach out and touch your heart.
