About Keepsakes

Hi, I'm Vaidhi. Keepsakes is the photo book I couldn't find anywhere else.

I'm a millennial who grew up on Kodak cameras, and I never quite found that same charm in digital photos. Trip after trip with friends ended up stuck in a phone or a shared Google Photos album — full of photos nobody ever looked at again.

I tried the old-fashioned way too — printing 6x4s and spreading them across the floor. Rearranging even one photo meant pulling a hundred others out of their sleeves.

Around the same time, I was (and still am) addicted to my Garmin and every bit of metadata it logs on a run. It clicked: our photos already know when, where, how, and who they were taken with — the story was sitting right there, waiting to be told. So I built Keepsakes to tell it.

What you can make

Supply the photos, get your story told.

  • Collaborative books for trips with friends
  • Solo trip books
  • Activity books — races, runs, and the metrics that came with them
  • Quick express books, if you just want something done fast

Most books come together in about five minutes. The result is a keepsake, not a trinket you never look at again — a book that reads like a diary, not a slideshow.

I also run frames.photos, printing posters from race routes and city maps — worth a look if a wall print is more your thing.
