Invest in the Memories

When it comes to photographs, I think back to my own childhood spent looking through family albums. I would listen to the stories my parents and grandparents told, while seeing them come to life through the images in front of me. A photograph has the ability to freeze a fleeting moment, and let you hold onto it forever. I've never heard of anyone upset that they took the photo, only ever upset that they didn't. When you invest in photographs, you are not just investing in the day. You are investing in heirlooms that you will look back on for life, and you are gifting memories to future generations.
