I am Kati Berwald owner and photographer of KDB Photography. I am a Mother of three wonderful children who have provided me with so many opportunities over the years, I will never be able to thank them enough.

Well, here is Aryn or better known around our house as Kati Jr or Number 3. She is full of spunk, silliness and so full of life… all the good things she gets from me Oh and maybe she has a teeny tiny bit of stubborness in her, but that’s alright she lights up my world! Tonight we were playing around w/ some new lighting. She was being a typical 3 year old, posing and being a ham for the camera, gotta love that! The session was inspired by her new boots, she is VERY proud of them.
Suckers are magic around here!!
Final Countdown | KDB St. Francis Senior PhotographerNovember 4th, 2009As a GSL graduate myself, I know the feeling of wanting to leave that High School and never look back. But the truth is 5, I mean 14 years later you miss those high school days and you miss the good times you had with your friends. It’s hard to appreciate them at the time, [...] |
As a GSL graduate myself, I know the feeling of wanting to leave that High School and never look back. But the truth is 5, I mean 14 years later you miss those high school days and you miss the good times you had with your friends. It’s hard to appreciate them at the time, but going back “home” and then over to the school it really was bitter sweet. Okay I’m rambling now.
Anyway, Ryan is getting ready to get the heck out of Glencoe and start the next chapter in his book of life. He’s a star athlete and I hope his athletic career takes him far! Enjoy the sneak peek, and Go Panthers!!

The Ramerts came over last week for a family picture. However, what we captured was more than their family we captured some last memories of their dog Spurt.

Spurt will be missed by everyone, but hopefully seeing these last few pictures of her will bring some smiles to some faces!! Enjoy the sneak peek guys! And I am very sorry about Spurt!!
