For some unknown reason, evolution seems to have designed our brains so that young children’s memories fade quickly. Even experts aren’t entirely sure why this occurs. The only way to reconnect with these lost memories is through childhood photos. These images don’t just capture the everyday moments—they serve as emotional touchstones, offering security not only for our little ones but for us as parents as well. It’s surprising how many beautiful moments get swallowed up in the routine of daily parenting. Photography helps anchor those memories, and I want to hold onto that anchor, taking it with me everywhere.
