Remembering our Memories -- Easy Canvas Review

Memories are a very big part of who we are.  Sometimes they pop up at the most odd times and sometimes we recollect them because of a place or event.  I have memories of growing up, and memories of yesterday.  As I am getting older I am noticing the memories are getting harder to bring back.


This picture is a memory I do not have.  As you can probably guess, I am the little girl leaning on my mom.  Who knows why I am leaning on her?  Possibly I didn't want my photo taken?  Maybe it was late and I needed sleep?  Either way I am happy to have this picture to remind me that this moment happened.  Also I'd like to point out, How would I be able to giggle at the face my sister is making in this photo if I did not have it?

I know when my children get older, they will have the same issue of not remembering every small moment of their childhood.  I do my best to print our favorite pictures and post them around the house. This is where Easy Canvas Prints has come into play for my family.  I asked them to print my absolute favorite picture I have ever taken of my family in form of an 8x10 canvas.  I couldn't be happier with my decision!  They helped me transplant this picture perfectly from my computer onto the wall!


This picture was taken shortly after my husband and I moved our little family to Pennsylvania from Kansas.  We didn't know anyone, but were determined to make the best of a new and possibly exciting situation.  Eager to let the kids run after a winter, we found this park.  The park fits our family perfectly! Swings, a jungle gym area to play on, and a nice grassy area to throw around a baseball.  I had no idea how beautiful this picture would turn out when I shot it, but once I got home and was looking through, I instantly fell in love.  To me it shows the love of a father and his children while playing in a park.  Simple, but speaks so loudly.

  4. Children remember a lot of things but I've found it's rarely the same as what the parents remember. Things we forget, they cling to. I like the idea of canvas prints.

  5. I've been seeing more and more of these canvas prints. They look great but I wonder what their real lifespan is and how bad they'll fade.

  6. I love your picture choice! I've always preferred printing pictures that capture a real moment. While professional posed pictures are nice here and there, the real moments are the ones I want to remember.

  10. I also prefer "real" photos instead of staged. the staged portraits always seem less sincere, some downright fake.
