2025,
This year looked like early mornings and late nights, dusty boots and quiet barn aisles, big show days and small moments that mattered just as much. It looked like 94 galleries delivered, countless memories frozen in time, and being trusted with moments that can never be recreated 🥰. It was a year full of milestones that shaped me both personally and creatively.
I was the official photographer for RBR Saddle Club (3rd year!) and the Brightside Equestrian Working Trail Show Series (my first year!), hosted 3 mini session events, had the unforgettable experience of photographing a wedding in Alberta! Exploring Red Cliff, witnessing the stunning landscapes, hearing rattlesnakes, encountering a bear in Kananaskis, and coaxing horses up a mountain viewpoint to photograph them overlooking the mountains 🐴… my western-lifestyle horse-girl heart was absolutely in heaven.
For my birthday this year I had a horse and rider session with my new horse, Sully. Standing there with him simply as a horsewoman with her horse, was incredibly special. Moments like that remind me why I do what I do, and why capturing memories matters so deeply.
I have loved capturing intimate, heartfelt sessions this year: so many horse and rider sessions, pet sessions, newborn and family sessions, a fall engagement session with the sweetest western-lifestyle couple, their dog, and their horse, and so many Christmas sessions full of love and joy 💗
To every client who supported my work this year; thank you. Creating art that holds meaning, connection, and memory continues to be the greatest honor.
A couple notes heading into 2026:
- Gallery turnaround times will be extended to give each session and story the time and care it deserves. Beginning 2026, regular sessions: 3–4 weeks, event sessions: 6 weeks
- I’m officially open for 2026 bookings! A few dates are already taken ✨
Here’s to another year capturing your memories and vibrant, heartfelt photographs to enjoyed forever!
Katrina,
