I'm Katy, the artist behind 1954 Muse. YOUR OKANAGAN FAMILY & COUPLES PHOTOGRAPHER. My photography journey is an important a creative outlet for me. I do all of this to fuel the fire in my soul and extend my heart. Over the years i've learned that not everyone is going to love or understand the art that you create, and that's ok. Your vibe attracts your tribe, and that's why you're here!

A Journey Through Light and Shadow:
Once known for vibrant, bold edits—bursts of colour that spoke of joy—I poured that brightness into everything I created. But life, in its fullness, isn’t always vibrant. Joy isn’t constant. I realized my art needed to reflect not just what I thought the world wanted to see, but the truth of who I am—and the messiness of families, too.

What began as a personal unraveling became a gentle rebirth. I changed everything. My sessions. My business name. The way I approach your stories. I stopped chasing perfection and instead invited families to show up exactly as they are—unfiltered, undone, deeply human. Whether you're in a season of celebration or navigating grief, change, or strain, it all belongs here.

I aim to romanticize your truth. Not by masking it, but by honouring it. By seeing you. My work is no longer about cheerful distraction—it’s about connection. It's about capturing the raw, the real, and the rare beauty of this exact moment in your journey.

This is storytelling with soul. For the light, the dark, and all the delicate in-betweens.
