Our children may be the most photographed generation to date, yet they are also the most likely to grow up with the fewest printed photographs. While we use our phones and other devices to document our children's lives, most people rarely print, frame, or preserve these images. 

Printed photos are more than just memories - they're like gifts we give ourselves and our kids today, and they're like a legacy we leave for future generations. They tell the story of our family. When you flip through the pages of an album, you can see how your child has grown and changed over time - from a gummy-smiled baby to a drooling toddler, to a little kid with a missing front tooth. It's like a time machine in your hands!

Seeing your family portrait as a custom art piece hanging in your home is so much more meaningful than viewing the same image on your Facebook wall, iPhone, Instagram or computer screen. 

The power of printed family photos:
Building a sense of belonging and connection 

PRINT YOUR FILES

Computers crash, phones restart, and documents shut down without saving your work - it's just a fact of life. And even though we rely so much on technology these days, there's still so much we don't understand about it. As technology keeps changing and evolving, we can't be sure if our photos will be able to keep up.

Who knows what new tech will come along in a few years and render our current devices and file types obsolete?

So, don't take any chances with your cherished photos. Make sure to print them out and have a physical copy that you can hold onto for years to come. After all, you don't want to risk losing those memories forever just because you didn't print them out.

Imagine if you're scrolling through your social media feed and you come across a photo from 10 years ago. You click on it and...nothing. The photo won't load. You hit refresh, you restart your phone, you try everything, but still, nothing. It's like the photo never existed in the first place.

That, my dear friends, is the harsh reality of social media photo storage. Your pictures might not fade like the ink on a physical print, but they can still disappear faster than a plate of cookies at a kid's birthday party. And let's be real, that's just heartbreaking. This is too big of an investment to not make physical prints.

social media may not always be around
