Our Story: Keeping the Important Things Unforgotten
To preserve the stories, the scriptures, and the smiles that connect us. At Three Annas & Co., we create with a singular purpose: to ensure that the things which matter most—from the faces of our families to the depth of the Word—are never forgotten.At Three Annas & Co, we believe that life’s most meaningful moments and messages shouldn’t be left to memory alone.
Founded by a father and husband in a house full of "Annas," our company is a creative umbrella for the things we value most: Legacy, Faith, and a good sense of humor.
The Why Behind the Work
In 2018, I started Why Forget Photography with a simple conviction: If there is no photo, there is no story. We all make excuses—time, money, or waiting for the "perfect" look—but those things can be addressed. A moment lost to time cannot.
That passion for preserving the "unforgotten" eventually grew into something deeper.
As a family active in our local church, faith is our cornerstone. But even in faith, things can be overlooked. While reading Psalm 119:16, I was struck by the irony of a verse that said, "I will not forget your word," yet I couldn't remember ever having read it.
That moment of irony sparked The Unforgotten Word. We create apparel and goods that feature the powerful, encouraging, and "unpopular" verses of the Bible—the ones that deserve to be remembered, worn, and shared. My wife, Angela, and our three daughters have been the heart of this journey—polishing designs, offering ideas, and claiming the samples for themselves.

Three years ago I started Antangel Images. An Etsy store focusing on curated Print-on-Demand collections. This was an experiment to learn the business of an online store, combined with a print-on-demand model. Whether it’s a bookmark or a t-shirt, if it makes you smile or makes you think, it has a home here.
