January feels like a good time to pay attention to the small things that are changing inside and outside of us. That’s why I chose Growth for this month’s theme. Growth can be big and visible. It can also be slow and quiet, showing up in ways you might not notice until you look back later. It might be something you’re learning, healing from, building, or even something you are letting go of. Looking for growth in photos helps me see what is happening that I might otherwise overlook.

I have two new collections in the shop, Sunny Days and Clues Crew, designed for documenting everyday kid life, playful stories, and bright, happy memories. I got carried away with the fun and nostalgia of some of the best kid shows ever. I hope you love these as much as I do!

You can grab items individually, or save with the Big Bundle options.

Welcome to a brand new year! I always love the feeling of January. It’s a time that naturally invites a fresh start, renewed energy, and space to reflect on where we’ve been and where we’re headed. I hope you had a chance to read yesterday’s post about adding monthly themes to my memory keeping (and documenting) process. I’m really excited about this and today, I’ll be kicking it off by introducing January’s theme.

This year, I’m trying something new. Each month in 2026 will have a simple focus word. Think of it as an easy lens you can use for photos, journaling, and scrapbook pages. When you have a theme, you do not have to start from scratch. You can notice everyday moments more easily, then document them with less pressure.

Goodbye, December! It is always amazing how quickly this month seems to pass. Between the holidays, the cozy moments at home, and the end-of-year reflections, December is one of my favorite months to document. It is the perfect time to pause, look back, and capture the memories that made this season special.

A monthly roundup is one of the simplest and most meaningful ways to reflect on your life. All you need to do is gather your favorite moments, add a few photos, and take a few minutes to record the highlights. Before you know it, you have created a snapshot of your month and a little time capsule you will treasure later.

A curated list of my best December and Christmas posts, including holiday photo ideas, scrapbook layouts, prompts, simple projects, treats, and digital supplies.

Phone photos add up fast. It is easy to reach a point where your library feels too big to manage. I started a simple routine that keeps the work small. Each day I open my Photos app and search for that day’s date. I type the month and day without the year. For example, September 2.

Goodbye, November! How did that month fly by so quickly? As the calendar turns again, it feels like the perfect moment to pause and look back on everything that made this month special. That means it is roundup time, my favorite way to wrap up each month with reflection and creativity.

If you have never tried a monthly roundup before, think of it as a mini scrapbook for your life. You simply gather your favorite memories, photos, and small details that made the month meaningful. In just a few minutes, you will have a time capsule that captures your everyday story.

Photography can support your mood in a simple way. When you take photos with intention, you slow down and notice your surroundings. This small shift helps your mind reset. Guides on mindful photography explain that looking for basic details can reduce stress and support focus.
