Engstrom Family

A windy windy day at the ranch! As I headed north toward the border of Canada I was excited to see this family again. A few frozen hands and a rogue milk cow later we spent the rest of the afternoon hiding out around the barns and corrals.

Embracing My Dreams

THE JOURNEY OF LEARNING HOW TO ALLOW MYSELF TO EXPRESS CREATIVITY. Every day gets a lot better.

OBSESSED WITH BORDER COLLIES, MAKING A DIFFERENCE AND GIVING PEOPLE THE TOOLS TO SUCEED 

Hi, I'm Kate, 
 SEVEN DIAMOND PHOTOGRAPHY

Mother to two teenage kids and two border collies. To say the least my life is busy. My business is my passion, like it should be, and in typical virgo fashion, you won't find me half assing something (yes I swear sometimes) and I prefer to have everything neat and tidy aside from my pickup because dogs don't allow for that.
