Parenting Pointers: Capturing and Preserving Memories

Ever feel like you blinked and so many special, memorable moments have just flown by? Resolve this year to find something to celebrate each day and capture those special memories as they unfold. The experts at Canvas Prints have easy-to-apply tips from taking a photo daily to keeping a journal to help make 2022 your most memorable year yet!

I had a chance to learn more in this interview.

Why do we often miss out on capturing special moments?
So often we focus on the big events - holidays, birthdays, graduations. But the reality is that magic can be found in the simplest moments, just spending quality time with your family and friends. Sometimes the most amazing, candid photographs that you’ll treasure for years are created out of those many small occasions. Take a step back and make it a goal to capture every day, instead of only the ‘special’ days.

How can families help hold on to special moments?
Achieving any goal always starts with a plan. Plan to make memories throughout the year instead of relying on big events or special days where you may be too busy to even take photos. Plan nature walks with your kids, get together with friends to learn a new skill, invite grandparents over to teach your family that ‘secret’ recipe that’s been handed down through the generations. These are all opportunities to pull out your camera, even if it’s just your smartphone, and capture amazing candid photos.

Also, don’t be afraid to invest in professional portraits. The one-time expense is something everyone should treat themselves to occasionally as their family continues to grow. Spend some time searching for photographers in your area who fit into your budget. The best part is that these photos can be taken and turned into amazing gifts and decor for your home for years to come using services such as CanvasPrints.com.

What are some great ways for families to start traditions that help them look back on great memories?
Take a photo a day. All of those everyday memories deserve to be captured, and you’ll have fun looking back on them in years to come! Also, think about keeping a journal where you jot down a line or two each day to jog your memory at the end of the year and remind you of all of the special moments you created.
