Raphaelle Granger Photographer | About

My grandfather was a scientist, so he and my grandma traveled a lot during the early years of their marriage. A few years ago, I was going through boxes of old pictures at their house when I stumbled across an absolute gem — my favorite photo of them EVER. This particular shot was snapped during a field trip in Eastern Europe. They were visiting a zoo and posing next to a bear who was casually perched on a wooden stool.    And that’s when it hit me: I knew so little about these two amazing humans. They had already lived a whole life that they had never really spoken about. A life full of incredible adventures, experiences, and encounters. Things I would never know to ask about had I not taken the time to look through those boxes.    Photographs allow people to connect on an intimate level, offering us a new way to know our family and loved ones. They offer a glimpse of an eternal moment, a story held in time, yours to pass on through generations.     A precious heirloom.     Your legacy.
