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!

SUNSHINE, LOLLIPOPS + RAINBOWS

Hey, a girl can dream. It is TIME to combat the Snowpocalypse that has been taking the Maritimes by storm, once and for all.  I'm not sure my waistline can  handle any more #stormchips or #stormcarbohydrates in general, but I sure could go for some #sunnymargaritas! I don't know about you, but it has been one gargantuan carbohydrate festival in this house -- the ONLY reason I haven't gained a hundred pounds is because of the incessant shoveling that follows.  It's a vicious cycle and it's not pretty.  It is, however, mighty delicious!  Two words (please excuse me while I get in touch with my inner Acadian and put on my best french accent): Poutine Rapee.  Goodness, gracious, great balls of carbs.  I am not one to complain as I'm honestly just grateful that I have a body that works to shovel with, but I'm not gonna lie.  I am completely dreaming of the beach for some beautiful sessions just like this one (somebody tell me that summer is coming soon??)  This miiiiiiight be a bit of a photo heavy post, but the truth is, I'm just trying to trick as many people as possible into booking their very own beach sessions.  At least I'm honest?  What I know is, I am most alive when I am outside, frolicking around on a beautiful day, breathing in the beauty around me and doing my best to capture the beauty in YOU.  If there is any truth in this quote (and I think there is) then according to Howard, I had better get out there as often as possible.  Apparently, the world needs me to.  And frankly, who am I to disappoint the world? 

"Don't ask yourself what the world needs.  
Ask yourself what makes you come alive and then go do that.  Because what the world needs is people who have come alive."  
- Howard Thurman 

I am so grateful for the beautiful McCutcheon family who I have been fortunate enough to photograph several times throughout the years.  I truly view that as a great honour, and I can't help but think that they are wise to value photography as much as they do.  I don't think that they will ever regret capturing moments like these ones.  I mean, look at these little girls?  Just precious.  Oh, and I am happy to report that the shark attack on Conrad's beach was an isolated incident, and no photographer's were injured in the taking of these photos. ;)
