We’ve all had that moment—when we lose someone and suddenly realize just how valuable those “ink and paper” memories become. Priceless, in fact.

In those quiet moments of reflection, photos become everything. They become a lifeline to our loved ones. They let us see their smile, hear their laugh in our minds, and feel like they’re still here with us.

There’s no price I wouldn’t pay for those photos now. Because when a photo becomes the only way to hold someone again, the cost doesn’t matter.

This isn’t meant to feel heavy—it’s a gentle reminder. A reminder to pause, to soak in the little moments, and to cherish the people you love.

Life moves fast, but these small, seemingly ordinary moments are the ones that will mean the most someday.

This is why I do what I do. Why I believe so deeply in capturing the small, in-between moments we think we’ll always remember—but that often fade so quickly. I know all too well first hand.

For me, photos aren’t just paper and ink—they’re fragments of time we can’t get back. They’re laughter you can hear in a silent room. They’re a hand you can almost feel holding yours again. They’re love, frozen forever.

But we don’t realize how much they matter until they’re all we have left. Until there are no more moments to capture, no more smiles to document, no more laughter to bottle up in a frame.

Because one day, these photos might be all you have. And when that day comes, they won’t just be photos—they’ll be everything.

📸 Make the time. Take the photos. They’re worth everything.

Let this be a nudge—not a weight—just a little reminder of what truly matters.

Joy.
Love.
Peace.
Believe.

Eekk! The clock is ticking, friends! ⏳⏰

Today and tomorrow are the last days we’re available before going offline until 2025! If you’re still looking for that perfect gift, your Keri Jeanne Photography photo session gift certificate is ready for you!

Just a few reservations remain for 2025.. grab it while ya can! Message us at the page below and we’ll get it all packaged up for ya!

🤔 Are you already done with all your gifts, or are you like me, still racking your brain for those last few ideas? I may not have all my own gifts figured out, but I do have some thoughts that might help you. 🥳

You know what grandparents love? Pictures.
Moms? Pictures.
Dads? You guessed it—pictures.
And don’t forget the extended family—they cherish them like gold too. ❤️

Here’s the thing: a photo session isn’t just a “gift.” It’s a chance to freeze time, to hold onto the moments we all know are slipping by way too fast. Sure, it sounds cheesy and cliché—but it’s also true. 🫶

Now, I get it. Not everyone loves being in front of the camera—I’ve been there too. But after nearly 20 years of capturing memories, I’ve seen it time and time again.

It’s like going to the gym: you might dread getting started, but once it’s done, you’re always glad you did.

And years from now? No one cares if their hair wasn’t perfect or their jeans didn’t fit just right.

What they do care about is seeing their kids’ scrunchy-nosed smiles, the way their daughter’s little arms wrapped around their neck, or how their partner’s face lit up when they laughed for real.

Photos are like a time machine, bringing you right back to the moments you’ll wish you could hold onto forever.

With just a few more days left before we close for the holiday season, there’s still time to grab one of the few remaining 2025 session reservations. We only take on a limited number of sessions each year, and they book up fast.

You can pick up a gift certificate for someone you love—or maybe even put yourself on that list this year. 🎁

Happy Holidays to you! 🥰🤩

✨ It’s not just a memory card. It’s a time machine of love. ✨

It’s:
💛 The way your toddler clings to your leg, shy at first, but slowly warms up as they explore their surroundings.

💛 Your teenager’s mischievous smirk when you catch them making a goofy face behind their sibling’s back.

💛 The way your partner looks at you during a quiet moment when the kids are running ahead, like you’re the most important part of it all.

💛 The way your dog races around the family as you circle up for a photo all together, their joy contagious.

💛 Your grandma’s laugh as she tells a story you’ve heard a hundred times but will never get tired of.

It’s:
🍂 The sound of fall leaves crunching beneath your feet as you walk together to a sun-drenched spot in the park.

✈️ Your youngest’s excitement at spotting an airplane flying overhead, pointing to the sky with wonder as you walk through the grass.

😂 The shared laughter that erupts when everyone pretends to walk in a line while sneaking glances at each other for a quintessential “family” photo.

🌞 The way the golden sunlight peeks through the trees, catching the sparkle in your little one’s eyes as they reach for your hand.

🌳 The moments in between, like your child climbing a low-hanging tree branch or picking up a stick they insist on keeping.

These are the moments that don’t stay. They change, evolve, grow. But they are also the moments that shape your story, the ones you’ll want to hold onto when time feels like it’s slipping through your fingers.

A photograph doesn’t just capture what you look like—it holds onto what you feel. The love, the laughter, the togetherness.

One day, these photos will remind you of all the beauty in the everyday moments you didn’t even realize were so fleeting.

Because long after the kids are grown, and your family scatters in different directions, you’ll still have these images to bring it all back.

✨ I get it—you’re always the one behind the camera. Capturing every giggle, every milestone, every messy, beautiful moment. But here’s the thing: when your kids look back at these photos one day, they won’t just want to see the moments—they’ll want to see YOU in them, too. 💛

And I know, maybe you’re waiting until you feel “ready”—until you make those changes or life feels more put together. But let me tell you a little secret: you’re already enough. You're perfect exactly as you are, in this moment. You're their everything.

Let’s make 2025 the year you step into the frame and create memories WITH your family that they’ll hold onto forever.

Because one day, these photos will mean everything.

We're now booking our limited sessions for the new year. We're just over half way full. 🙏

🫶Experiences Over Things✨

While you’re scrolling Amazon this weekend, adding gifts to your cart for the ones you love, can I suggest an idea that might mean even more than the latest kitchen appliance or another sweatshirt?

Memories last so much longer than anything we can buy. Pretty sure we can all agree experiences, shared moments, and time together—they’re the things we look back on and cherish the most.

That’s why I believe this with my whole heart: meaningful memories will always beat a big-box store purchase every time.

This year, you can give the gift of memories by grabbing a gift certificate for one of our limited 2025 Mini or Signature Sessions.

It’s the kind of gift that doesn’t just get opened—it gets remembered for years to come.

Let’s make this years gift about moments, not just things.

Here of your ready. Send us a message and we’ll get you taken care of! 🎁💚

While I’ve been in semi-retirement for a few years now, capturing meaningful memories still brings me so much joy when time allows. Being in semi-retirement means I only take on a handful of sessions each year—but it also means my website needed a refresh to reflect my evolving work and make it easier for you to connect with me! 🎉

After some unexpected twists (thanks to an annoying hack), I’m thrilled to share my newly relaunched website for Keri Jeanne Photography.

The updated site is more than just a place to book a session—it’s a reflection of the heart behind my work. You’ll find a refreshed About Me section where I share a bit of my journey and passion for preserving life’s meaningful moments.

There are also two online galleries filled with some of my favorite images from the last 18 years—a collection of treasured memories that continue to inspire me and reflect the stories I love to tell.

To celebrate the relaunch, I’m opening up 6 very special session spots for 2025! With my limited schedule, 2025 is already 50% full, but I’ve set aside these openings for families looking to update their memories:

🌸 2 Spring Mini Sessions – Perfect for new beginnings and fresh blooms.
🍁 2 Fall Mini Sessions – The golden light and cozy vibes of autumn.
✨ 2 Signature Sessions for 2025 – A chance to document life’s big milestones or those small, magical moments you never want to forget.

These sessions are about more than just photos—they’re about holding on to the scrunchy-nosed smiles, the belly laughs, and the fleeting moments that tell your story.

💫 Don’t wait—these spots are limited, and they’ll fill quickly. Check the link in the comments to explore the new website, dive into the galleries, and send us message to book your session. Let’s make 2025 a year of memories worth treasuring! 💫
