Sometime around 30 years ago I lived in a cul-de-sac and met my best friend (okay we were on again off again as lots of childhood kids are depending on the drama that arose). We have managed to stay in touch all these years since I moved away after high school, 15 years ago. Through the good times and the low times; we have talked each other through it all, heard each other cry and provided much needed advice. I photographed her surprise wedding a year and a half ago, flew down for her youngest daughter’s newborn session and enjoyed many yearly visits with them. Unfortunately, her hubby had to work when we did these photos on my last night in the Okanagan but he will surely be in next time I’m there!

Katie is such an amazing mom! The amount of things she can do in a day is just incredible. She is my craft idol, the mom with all the best recipes, and some adorable kids as a bonus!

I loved every minute of this late evening shoot in the sage brush! Halle kept giving me the thumbs up and we would just all crack up! This girl has a thousand different facial expressions, I wish I could post them all. Here is a little bit of the fun we had along with a picture of me and my bestie taken by her lovely daughter Jaida!
