Who we are

My Keepsake Stories began when Scott’s elderly parents downsized from their large condo to a smaller home. Letting go of their beloved possessions — like his mom’s doll collection and his dad’s heirloom furniture — was deeply emotional. To help preserve those memories, Scott and his wife Sarah created a keepsake story book capturing the photos and stories behind each treasured item.

Seeing his parents’ emotional response as they shared the book with extended family inspired Scott and Sarah to help other families do the same. What started as a personal gift soon became My Keepsake Stories — a way to honor the past and keep family memories alive for generations to come.

Scott Reynolds is an entrepreneur and long time business executive. His wife Sarah is an abstract artist who brings creativity and color into their lives. They are recent empty nesters, and live in Santa Barbara with their golden doodle Ollie. Together, they founded My Keepsake Stories to help others preserve the stories behind the things they love.
