Lately I have been doing some soul searching.

Now, before you right me off as some self-indulgant, cross-legged-hippy-who-has-her-mind-in-the-clouds WEIRDO.... let me explain.

I want to be COMPLETELY true to myself in all that I do. To create my life with intention. It may seem like a simple thing knowing ourselves and living our lives authentically according to who we really are......not who/what our parents, media, culture or community want us to be....it can be a challenge of gigantic proportions! And even if we have a firm grounding of who we are inside, putting it OUT THERE can also be a tad frightening because I think we can all be afraid of not being accepted for who we really are, or what others might think of us.

Thanks to Fiona Anderson Photography for the above photos!

This brings me to THINGS I KNOW TO BE TRUE........

1) I have a slight obsession with Nigella Lawson.
2) I treasure all hand-written notes & cards I receive and I still have some from when I was 5...
3) I bit myself when I was little to get my sisters in trouble.
4) While cruising the net, I frequently add things to my cart, never intending to buy them.
5) People call me by 4 variations of my name, Kate, Kat, Katie, Kathryn, and it's not unusual to be called all 4 in a single day.
6) I have a lace collection.
7) I love vintage floral fabric.
8) I am a 'girly girl'
9) Everyday I have on average a MILLION new ideas. (Okay....maybe not a million. But close to!)
10) I believe in God.
11) I have cut my husband's hair from the day I met him (and still do).
12) I am a sucker for natural skincare.
13) I have a major sweet tooth.
14) Cooking relaxes me.
15 I get heat rash in really hot climates.
16) I love people watching.
17) I love photographing people in love. Duh.
18) I feel cherished when someone really listens.
19) The best gift I have received was a photo album my husband made of fun times we have had together.
20) When I was young I wanted to be an eye doctor (or maybe this was what my parents wanted!)

Huntly Engagement Photo Shoot: Steph + James

He was her soccer coach. The one who stole her heart. Brought together by a shared love of sport, soccer in particular, these two soon became inseparable. They have been laughing and enjoying each other's company ever since. Steph and James, I had so much fun with you guys! Thank you for sharing a little piece of your love with me, I can't wait for your wedding in February! x

This is near where Steph & James are to be wed, it's an amazing place called the 'Green Cathedral' - a outdoor cathedral complete with pews- so beautiful! When Steph originally told me where we were going for photos I was picturing a green building... this was a nice surprise :)

Amy + Noah Wedding

Amy & Noah it was so so FUN to capture your special day, you are extraordinary awesome people who definitely know how to have a great time. Here's to the start of what I know is going to be a wonderful life together xx

Amy & Noah actually live in the US, but Amy's family is here. Considering she & Noah only arrived a week before their big day, all the details were planned to perfection!

Gorgeous sisters

LOVE this. Amy you are beyond stunning

Amy's dad is a pastor and gave a talk at the ceremony. He gave Amy & Noah an "L&P" to remember for their marriage - Amy's was to Laugh & Play, I don't think this will EVER be a problem for her! :)
