Meet Ksenia Lippke | Album Designer @ EverSince Albums & Creative Co-Director @ Samuel Lippke Studios

We had the good fortune of connecting with Ksenia Lippke and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Ksenia, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
I’ve been part of the wedding and event industry for over 13 years, immersed in everything from planning and coordinating weddings, styled shoots, and events, to styling, photography, and post-production. Creativity has always been at the heart of what I do.
The inspiration for EverSince Albums came from a deeply personal place. After designing my own wedding albums and holding them in my hands for the first time, I truly understood the value of preserving memories in a tangible, beautiful way. That moment sparked a passion to help others do the same — to transform their most cherished moments, whether from weddings, family trips, or life’s everyday magic, into luxurious, high-quality coffee table books.

In a world where our photos live mostly on screens, we rarely take the time to print them, let alone curate them into something lasting. These albums are more than just books; they’re timeless heirlooms. There’s something deeply moving about holding your memories in your hands, flipping through pages filled with laughter, love, and celebration. It’s a way to relive the magic again and again.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I come from a fashion background. I worked as a model and traveled the world for over 15 years and it definitely helped shape so much of who I am today.
It refined my vision, built my resilience, and gave me a unique lens through which I see the world. Working with people from diverse cultures and walks of life taught me how to communicate with empathy and understand clients on a deeper level.
One of the greatest lessons I’ve learned along the way is this: instead of asking, “What if I can’t?” — shift the question to “What if I can? What’s the best thing that could happen?”
If anyone tells you that you’re not good enough, smart enough, or that you won’t succeed, know that their voice doesn’t belong in your life. Surround yourself with people who dream big, who take action, and who truly believe in you.
Work hard but have fun along the way.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I live in Long Beach, CA and I absolutely love it.
When friends or family visit, we like to kick off the day with a solid workout — there’s nothing better than feeling healthy and energized. I’m all about a high-energy HIIT class at ONIX to clear the head and get the my body going.
Afterward, grab a coffee and a bite to eat, then head over to the Naples area for a laid-back beach day if you want to stay local. Renting a boat or paddleboard is always a fun option.
For a true beach escape, I love love Laguna. The coves there are so peaceful and in the summer the ocean feels much warmer than in Malibu.
Long Beach also has an amazing food scene. For example, the A Steakhouse and Teleferic (delicious Spanish tapas) at PCH & 2nd, or Marlena in Naples are really good.
But honestly, cooking at home is my favorite. When we have friends or family over, we gather in our kitchen to prepare a feast. Russian, Mediterranean, and Asian dishes, bbq, and plenty of good wine (CopperCane Wines) is where my heart is at.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
When I met my now husband, Samuel Lippke, and learned that he was a photographer & the owner of Samuel Lippke Studios, it felt completely natural for us to start working together. That creative partnership has now flourished for almost 10 years. From the very beginning, Samuel recognized my strengths before I fully did and has always been my biggest encourager, pushing me to think bigger and dream more creatively.

I’ll never forget the first set of albums I designed. 18 books for a single client. It was a huge project, one that someone else had started and I was asked to finish. I remember feeling completely overwhelmed, unsure of where to even begin. But Samuel looked at me and said, “I believe in you. Tell the story. Put these books together and Wow the client.” And I did just that.
Seeing all those albums completed, holding them, turning the pages, it was such a powerful moment. That’s when it truly hit me: the magic and meaning of this work, and the potential of turning memories into something lasting, beautiful, and deeply personal.
