Family Photo Journals


Hey there folks...yes it has been a while. I am here today to talk about family photo journals. I cannot speak for you, but my family and I have boxes filled with photos from brownie cameras, polaroid, and more recently, prints from digital camera...that is because we do not have enough wall, mantel, or end/coffee table space to display them all, but they are all represent various and pertinent pieces of our lives. When, where, and how do we find the time, creativity, and energy to display them or, better yet, put them into a medium which can easily be passed from one generation to the next...as a visual legacy? Well, it all begins with understanding the importance of family relationships, events, and data which you have decided are significant to your family journal. Hire a professional to do a session of current photos which show the strong bond and relationship of your nucleus family and branch out to the extended family. Then incorporate the current photos with the ones in the boxes to create hardcover books and videos to begin your family photo journals. They can be shared with family and friends digitally as well via personal web pages, social media, etc... Visual communication across the miles is sure to bring lots of smiles. :-) I am a poet and did not know it. LOL. Hope you enjoy these photos.
