It's not every day that you find a newly hatched baby sea turtle on its journey to the ocean.  This is one of my favorite memories with my then 8 year old son.  And, it was the rare photo of that baby turtle (and a corresponding video) (that ironically I can't find now) that made me want to create a place where our family adventures could be organized together and easily passed down to my son.

 

I was extremely frustrated trying to gather and organize photos and videos into one place and into stories; I missed the convenience of our family photo album.

​

I didn't have time to compare, choose and organize thousands of photos and videos into the stories I wanted to leave behind for him.

​

How was my son ever going to enjoy his childhood memories?!  How was I?

​

The simple answer to me was a product that combined what I love about photo books (easy, individual story preservation, tangible books) with what I love about the digital world (touch screens, cloud back up, apps).

 

I wanted the one-place-convenience of a family photo album, but with EVERYTHING; photos, videos, report cards...my son’s artwork.  

 

The story gets longer from there, but this was the origin of WILLA ... and 42 Memory Lane.

 

We are a group of parents, business and manufacturing executives and software programmers who are just as frustrated as you.

​

WE think it’s time for a revolution! Well, if “revolution” means something as common sense as a physical place in your home where you can access your own family memories without an internet connection ... easily combine, re-combine, preserve and secure the memories you want your family to have in perpetuity and share them through a private network of family albums. 

 

Total control without making life more difficult.
