Kate and I have been best friends for.. Oh my gosh, maybe 6 years now? If you know me, or you’ve seen me at horse shows or doing photography at home, chances are my ‘little’ Kate was there, ‘under my wing’! After all I believe I am 7 years older than Kate. Kate and I first bonded over our mutual love of Miniature Horses and showed in Alberta at WCMHC horse shows together for years. Kate was very shy (I always make jokes that for the first year of our friendship she didn’t get a word in edgewise!) but soon we were fast friends, traveling to Texas together to watch the AMHA (miniature horse) World Show, making dinners together at my place and baking cupcakes! Then Kate got her own camera too and was soon taking gorgeous photos of peoples pets. Kate celebrated her Airdrie graduation this summer and is now in University!! We weren’t able to get together this summer for a grad shoot, but while she was home this Christmas break, I was able to catch up with her and do this wintery grad shoot at Big Hill Springs park.

Could you picture yourself in a beautiful grad shoot? The photos would be perfect for graduation announcements and 2017 Christmas cards! I am taking a limited number of grad photo bookings in 2017, so be sure to contact me right away about this winter/spring/summer availability if you would love to have your grad & family photos done!

Chow for now!
