Keepsake: an object of sentimental value.
It is amazing how an object can trigger our memories. They can take us back in time and help us remember. Both of my parents are fairly sentimental and have held on to many family items (perhaps too many!). Today I decided to photograph some of the items they’ve kept as keepsakes.
These items were given to my parents in the hospital, from family and friends, following the birth of my brother and I. They are now considered “vintage” and although I obviously do not remember the time they were gifted to my parents, they’ve been kept safely tucked away in storage…to preserve the memories associated with them.
Photos are the most precious keepsake one can treasure. Not only do they trigger memories of significant times in our lives, they capture moments in time. Now that we are living in a digital age, it is so easy to backup our photos to the computer and let them remain there…tucked away in storage. I declare we print our favourite pictures, display them in our homes, and create albums that can shared with generations to come!
I offer prints and an array of keepsake items with each of my Newborn, Maternity, Babies & Children, and Family packages. I’d be more than happy to help you showcase your memories 🙂
