 This post is a creative collaboration with some talented photographers around the US and Canada. The theme for this post is “Monochrome” which describes images in a single color. My inspiration for this post came from my friend Olga’s box of old photos that we browsed through over a cup of tea. Interestingly, they bear […]  It’s baseball season and we have been enjoying every minute of it. My little guy has been having fun creating rhymes and here is his interpretation of the baseball song… Take me out to the ball game Get me some crackers and honey I think I just saw a bunny It hasn’t been very sunny […]  … on a gloriously sunny afternoon. In other news, please note that Storybox Art will be unavailable between April 18-26th. You can feel free to email me though I will have limited email access.

Seriously.. so unique. love love love. that. wow. Beautiful photos! Love the bath shots. Fun stuff! Both of these sets are absolutely fabulous. You’ve really captured some great moments for this family! I love how you can see the love Mom and Dad have for their baby girl through your images. So beautiful!  This adorable baby girl was almost two months old at the time of the photo session. You could see how much she had her dad wrapped around his finger. Such a beautiful connection with the lovely family of three. Best baby hair ever! Oh these are so sweet, Alpana!! Love the angles you shot.  …is here!! The stars aligned and I got to go out and take some pictures of the little man. A few minutes into the shoot he found a rollie pollie which pretty much defined the vision of our shoot. The eye contact and expressions you capture are truly priceless, and the colors are incredible. Thanks for sharing! |

Corey Sewell - Fantastic images and post, Alpana! I have always enjoyed looking through old photographs and now it’s so fun to see my children enjoy the same thing – and also to think of them looking through photographs with their children!
Julie - Stunning! I am completely in LOVE with old photographs. I am always sad to see boxes of them at the antique markets – those are someones family and they should have a better home. My family just spend time pouring over some old images during our Easter visit. And I love how you have captured them here…just lovely.
Brandy Anderson - Oh wow, what an awesome collection of old photographs! Perfect for the theme!
austin family photographer teri mason - Oh how special these photos are! I love that you chose this as your take on the theme! Love seeing the old photos 🙂

lisa m - Oh, this just speaks to me, Alpana. I once found an old suitcase filled with a family’s pictures in Prague. I spent hours pouring over the images, watching children–who were now old–grow up. It was the moment that I realized what a heritage family photos could be!
Melody Hood - Absolutely love these photographs! You’re so lucky to have them and I enjoyed reading your post!
Anna-Karin - Beautiful documentation and capture of this monochromatic theme. There is most certainly something magical about photographs, new or old and this post really explains it well!
lauri - Well, you know I love these! I do love sifting through old photos myself.
Simone Hanckel - Beautiful post and love the comments about the digital files. These photographs would have been long lost had they been as fragile as a jpeg. Photographs are a gift to your descendants 🙂
Ruthi - What a wonderful concept and execution. I just love everything about this, Alpana.
alpana - Thanks for the comments. I have to thank my friend Olga for letting me borrow her precious old photos and Laurie for co-authoring the article.
PamN - Those old photos are still stunning because they are top-quality; a bunch of digital files captured with a cell phone is no substitute!!! I hope this reminds people to make the investment in the future!
Danna - those memories are priceless……how lucky we are to be able to preserve moments for those in the future to cherish.
Dena Robles - This is such a treasure to own. I love love love to sit and look through old photographs and reminisce and try to put together pieces of history. How thankful I am that my ancestors invested in tangible printed photographs.
Mary Beth - I love old photographs, sifting through them, trying to make out the faded writing on the backs… These made me smile. 🙂
Samara - Oh Alpana – these are amazing. I love love vintage photographs. A great reminder for me to make sure my Grandmother gives hers to me and a great reminder of why it is important to have a tangible print and not just digital files.
Christine Szeto - Thanks for the article and sharing these priceless images. Love, love your work!
Jim Davis - I loved this post. I so wish I had old family photos like this.
