What you’ll need
- 12 printed photos or a shared digital album
- Optional album, paper, and a pen
You do not need to organize every photo you have. Start with twelve images that represent different parts of your life together.
Build the first version
- Each person chooses six photos without trying to make the selection perfect.
- Put them in chronological order or group them by theme.
- Add a date if you know it and one sentence about what happened outside the frame.
- Include ordinary moments as well as trips and celebrations.
- Choose one blank page or album slot for something you want to do in the future.
You can make a paper album or use a shared digital folder. Before including a sensitive or unflattering photo, check that your partner is comfortable keeping it in the shared collection.
