Five Years of Christmas Magic | Kira Jeffrey Photography | Charlotte, NC

There is something so special about photographing the same family year after year—especially during the holidays. The twinkle lights may change, the tree might move to a different corner of the house, and little hands that once reached for ornaments now carefully place them… but the heart of it all stays the same.

This gallery holds five years of holiday memories, from 2021 through 2025. What began as a simple seasonal session has become a visual story of growth, connection, and tradition.

Holiday sessions aren’t about perfection. They’re about remembering this version of your family. The way your home felt. The way your children fit perfectly in your arms. The traditions you were building without even realizing it.

Looking back across these five years, it’s clear that the greatest gift isn’t what’s wrapped under the tree—it’s the chance to pause, year after year, and say: This is us. Right now.

And that is always worth remembering. Seeing this girl grow into her sweet, bubbly, goofy personality has been so enjoyable and I can’t wait to see what next year brings.
