What you can't see: baboons climbing over the car. What you *can* see: pure, unfiltered joy. Because it’s the story that matters.

Some insights on preserving family memories:

First, the story behind the photo matters more than how it looks. That blurry birthday snapshot? It’s not about the sharpness—it’s about the memory it captures.
Digital is for capturing, print is for connecting. Use each medium for what it does best rather than trying to make one replace the other.
The most valuable photos aren’t always the most beautiful ones. Sometimes the imperfect moments tell the most perfect stories.

Do this long enough, and you’ll learn these to be true.

The research from Emory University’s Do You Know? study isn’t just academic theory—it’s a reflection of what families have known intuitively for generations. Led by psychologists Robyn Fivush and Marshall Duke, the study found that children who know more about their family’s history tend to have higher self-esteem and greater resilience. Understanding our personal narratives isn’t just about having nice photos; it’s about building emotional resilience.

But here’s what they don’t tell you: the power isn’t in the photographs themselves. It’s in the moments of connection they create, the conversations they spark, the bridges they build between generations.

Think about it: when was the last time a digital photo album brought your family together? When was the last time you gathered around a computer screen to share stories? The medium matters because it shapes how we interact with our memories.

These insights aren’t just observations—they’re invitations. Invitations to think differently about how we preserve our family stories, how we share our memories, and how we build connections that last.

Because in the end, the goal isn’t to have the most photos or the best-organised digital library. The goal is to create meaningful connections that strengthen our families and preserve our stories.

So if you’re ready to turn a sea of pixels into something that matters—something you can hold in your hands—20 Photos is here. Let’s take those digital snapshots and make them tangible, timeless, and worthy of gathering around.
