Why Family Photos Matter More Than We Realize

I have always loved taking pictures, being in pictures, and looking back at the pictures. When I was a little girl, I often got told that I was photogenic, which means “looking attractive in photographs or on film.” Basically, it means that you look natural in pictures, and it’s easy to take a picture of you without having you try too hard to look good.

I never really believed people when they said that, but I always felt extremely flattered that they did. I have so many pictures and videos on my phone, Google, and Verizon have told me that I need to delete some to have enough space/storage… oops… How can I delete them, though, when they are all memories I want to look back on? If I didn’t want to capture the memory, I wouldn’t have taken the picture or video. Besides, most of my pictures are of my husband and our girls. How could I pick and choose which ones I kept when I love all of them? I know some of you are thinking, “Just print them out and put them in a scrapbook.” And you would be correct, I could do that. I have a scrapbook I’ve been meaning to utilize, and I got a cute decorative little kit to use with it for my birthday, but then what happens if something happens to the book? I could come up with what-ifs for everything, but unfortunately, I’ll always cherish the photos and videos I have, even if they disappear physically.

Author: The Mom, Wife, Dream Life Blog

I am a young mom to two little beauties, and the wife to an admirable man. I have many dreams in life that I want to someday achieve. I'm quirky, quiet, and shy, at least until you get to know me, then I could talk your ear off. I'm talented, but don't like to say that straight out as it makes me feel more confident than I am. I am looking to grow as an individual, a loving wife, a supportive mother, and socially with others. If you are someone looking to find yourself, or looking to find someone like you, I'm your gal. Let's be friends, get to know me, and I can't wait to get to know you!
