A Slower Week to Reflect and Be Thankful

The week between Christmas and New Year’s has a different rhythm. Schedules slow down, the pressure eases, and there’s finally space to breathe. It’s the perfect time to pause — even just for a few minutes — and reflect on the moments that filled this past year.

One of the simplest ways to do that? Scroll through the photos on your phone.

Look Back at the Moments You Lived

As you swipe through your camera roll, you’ll see more than pictures:

• Ordinary days that turned into memories

• Milestones you almost forgot were so big

• Laughter, hugs, celebrations, and quiet moments

• Proof of how much life happened this year

Not every photo is perfect — and that’s the beauty of it. They tell the real story of your year.

A Moment of Gratitude

This slower week is a gift. Take time to notice all there is to be thankful for — the people you love, the growth you’ve experienced, the moments that shaped you, and even the challenges that taught you something along the way.

Gratitude has a way of shifting our perspective and reminding us just how full life truly is.

Carry This Feeling Into the New Year

As you reflect on the photos and memories of this past year, think about how you want to remember the next one. What moments do you want to hold onto? What seasons do you want documented?

From all of us at Kate Buckles Photography, we hope this slower week gives you space to reflect, feel grateful, and step into the new year with a full heart. ❤️📸
