We live in a digital world. I get it. Digitals are important. And, let’s face it so convenient.

But here’s what I know after raising four kids, two already in college.

You do not pull out a hard drive to remember. You do not look through folders on your computer to reminisce. Sometimes if we are lucky facebook memories pops up with photos and memories from ten years ago! But, have you noticed how wonderful it is to see these photos when they do pop up!? How fantastic it is to relive this moment that social media reminds us exists?

WHY are we leaving reliving the best memories up to an algorithm.

Two of my kiddos are in college and as a mama who is also a photographer I have always, always believed in the importance of the tangible prints and albums.

An album on the coffee table.
A book on the shelf.
A prints all over my walls and, much to my husbands chagrin, all over the fridge.

Senior year is not a “post and forget” season. It is a milestone.

And milestone moments deserve permanence.
