I Spent Years Helping Families Preserve Their Stories. Now I Help Them Create Them.

Hi, I’m Jackie Stringham—a family travel strategist, storyteller, wife, and mother of four.

Before becoming a travel advisor, I spent more than 15 years as a professional photographer, designer, and visual storyteller. As a Creating Keepsakes Magazine Hall of Fame winner, much of my creative life centered on photographs, memories, and preserving the everyday moments that become part of a family’s history.

That experience changed the way I think about travel.

The photograph itself is rarely what matters most. What matters is what it represents:

“Remember when…”

The inside joke. The unexpected discovery. The thing that went completely wrong. The moment your teenager opened up. The experience everyone still talks about years later.

Today, I use that same understanding of families and stories to help my clients plan travel more intentionally.

I don’t simply ask where you want to go. I want to understand who is going, what you need from the experience, and what kind of story you hope to bring home.
