A very savvy young lady
She's a warm ray of sunshine with the slightest glimmer of mischief dancing in her eyes. Beach blonde hair so thick it would be the envy of every valley girl (who'd willingly empty their wallets to have her locks).

I could only smile (and take a photo) to watch her twirl nonchalantly in the wild grasses. Katie has such a broad array of interests that narrowing down this list was difficult. There was no way to capture each one but I'm grateful for the opportunity to highlight a few of her favorites.
