Young parents love using it but non-parents despise hearing it. The almost instinctual act of "baby talk" is often used by caregivers as a sweet way to communicate with newborns and babies, but its high-pitched intonations and extended vowel sounds can sometimes seem obnoxious to an untrained (or any) ear.

One of our fondest childhood memories is flipping through our grandparents' picture albums. Just like leafing through an old novel, the physical act of turning a page, smelling that vintage scent, and actually taking the time to reminisce, is something to be cherished. Nowadays, children scroll through thousands of pictures a day on multiple social media platforms making pictures—which were once worth a thousand words—worth a simple double-tap (or thumbs up). Printing photos using the Instax Mini Printer brings meaning, depth, and appreciation back to the photos we take, making a family's memories permanent again!
