HELLO DARLIN.

NICE TO SEE YA.



If you sang this line, we will get along juuuuuust fine. Thanks so much for taking the time to visit! Allow me to introduce myself, and attempt to summarize what it is that I’m doing here in the Blogosphere. (Key word is attempt. Those of you who know me know that I tend to write short novels for e-mails and my voice mails more closely resemble Shakespearian soliloquies than “call me backs.”) Runs in the family. Alas, that is I. Who am I you ask? Kathy… a not so typical Photographer. Greeting card business enthusiast. Multi-passionate entrepreneur. Idea girl. Dreamer. Lover of life. Happy. Most days my brain is racing so fast with ideas and things I want to do, that I feel I’m too passionate for my own good. Who am I not? Perfectly organized. A fantastic housekeeper or gardener. My shoe collection would make Carrie Bradshaw cringe, and I get more excited about a good vintage score at Frenchy’s than I ever would about a Prada purse. Don't get me wrong, I can appreciate a fine set of heels like the next girl, but I just don't believe we have to spend the family fortune to look put together. I’m a pretty simple gal who believes there is a time and a place for everything. Including but not limited to: gummy bears, boxed wine, Zoodles, Mr. Noodles and occasionally (okay... very occasionally) Beefaroni. There, I said it, and frankly it feels quite good to get it off my chest. So it's no secret that I am fairly passionate, and put a lot of heart and soul into the things that inspire me. That means in business and in life because I feel like the two are really intertwined anyway - "How you do anything is how you do everything!" I believe that Confucius was right when he said "Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it". I have realized over time that I can't help but see beauty. It is a problem at times. (Forget texting and driving, one shouldn't be permitted to "see beauty", or potential photo session locations for that matter, while driving.) I digress. When beauty jumps out of the world at you, it is easy to become passionate about photography - for me, it is a way to relay to others the beauty that I see in my minds eye. Life is short, this we all know. We are meant to enjoy it, appreciating and celebrating those who are important to us, in this lifetime. This blog is an immediate outlet for me to express and humour myself (and those who stumble by) attach sneak peeks of the happenings here at Legacy Junction Studios, offer fun contests and specials, and chronicle what’s going on in my crazy world. Feel free to sniff around - just promise not to laugh at my wordiness, okay? I truly can't resist! If you know me, you KNOW that is true! (To thine own self be true, no?) Thanks so much for stopping by. I’m so humbled and flattered that you’ve visited and would love to know! You’re welcome and encouraged to leave comments, and say hello!

THE ADORABLE DACEY'S


Come to think of it, there are many words I could use to describe the Dacey family, and while adorable is certainly an accurate depiction... one other thought springs to mind: Power House. If you are a curling fan, you might recognize the mugs of Heather and Marc. They are certainly well known in the curling community, and have taken it by storm as they do in all areas of life. I have been taking their family photos for quite some time, and over the last few years it seems to have become an annual holiday photo session. Though this year we changed it up a tad and did our session outdoors because the weather was cooperating. It is always a blast to see how the kiddies have changed, and how their little personalities have evolved. Already looking forward to next year? Is it too early in the year to start talking about next Christmas?





I couldn't possibly complete a blog post for the Dacey family without including at least one photo of their family ham... aka Tye.  I told Heather that one day I am going to create a photo montage full of the outtakes featuring Mr. Tye Guy.  Not kidding, I am going to.  Honestly, from our sessions over the years, I definitely have enough of them!  And I have to be honest.  They make me LAUGH, and are my favourite. Maybe we can create a slideshow of outtakes for his wedding one day? Now, there's an idea.
