A New Year Through the Lens | What 2026 Means for krisann photography
A new year always brings a sense of reflection and hope. As I step into 2026, I find myself pausing to look back at the stories we’ve been trusted to capture, the families who have welcomed us into their lives, and the moments that reminded me why photography matters so much.
At krisann photography, we believe photos are more than images. They’re memories, legacies, and reminders of seasons that pass far too quickly. And as we begin this new year, my heart is full of gratitude and excitement for what’s ahead.
So today, I wanted to share a little glimpse into what 2026 means for us, and what you can expect when you step in front of our lens this year.
Reflecting on the Stories That Shaped Us
Every year, we meet people at all different stages of life, from newly engaged couples and growing families to high school seniors stepping into their future, and parents trying to hold on to fleeting moments.
Over the years, one thing has never changed:
The most meaningful photos are rooted in connection, not perfection.
Our goal has always been to capture genuine emotion; soft smiles, joyful laughter, quiet moments, and real connection. Looking back on last year’s sessions reminds me just how powerful it is to freeze time, even if only for a moment.
Why Photography Matters More Than Ever in 2026
Life feels faster than ever. Our calendars are full, our phones are busy, and moments often pass before we realize how special they were.
That’s why we believe professional photography matters now more than ever.
Family photos become more meaningful as children grow. Wedding images become more precious as anniversaries pass. Portraits turn into heirlooms. In 2026, our mission remains the same:
to capture your story in a way that feels authentic, timeless, and true to who you are.
What’s Staying the Same at krisann photography
As we move into a new year, there are a few things that will never change:
A warm, stress-free photography experience
Natural light, clean, and modern photography
Gentle posing and natural movement
Connection over perfection
Treating every client like family
Whether it’s a wedding day, family session, maternity shoot, or milestone moment, our approach is always rooted in care, patience, and heart.
What We’re Looking Forward to in 2026
This year, I’m especially excited about:
Photographing intimate weddings and meaningful celebrations
Capturing families in everyday, joy-filled moments
Helping clients feel confident and comfortable in front of the camera
Continuing to tell stories that will matter for generations
2026 feels like a year of intentionality—choosing moments over things, connection over comparison, and memories over perfection.
For Our Future Clients
If you’re considering a photo session this year, know this:
You don’t need to be “photogenic.”
You don’t need to know how to pose.
You just need to show up as yourself.
From the moment you inquire to the final gallery delivery, my goal is for you to feel seen, valued, and at ease. Photography shouldn’t feel intimidating. It should feel like an experience you enjoy and look back on with joy.
A Heartfelt Thank You
To our past clients, friends, and families: thank you for trusting us with your memories. Your stories are the reason we do what we do, and we don’t take that lightly.
And to those we haven’t met yet: welcome. We would be honored to tell your story in 2026.
Here’s to a new year filled with meaningful moments, genuine connection, and stories worth remembering.
With gratitude,
Kristi
