You might want to get comfortable, put your feet up and have a cup of coffee or tea. I'm not known for brevity in writing. I'd say get yourself a glass of wine but it could be morning when you read this and I don't want to encourage undue alcohol consumption! Way back in the 1990's I was working as a wedding & event planner.
Life took a big twist when my oldest daughter was diagnosed with an incurable progressive brain disease. During the five years of caring for her 24/7, her death, and the grief that followed, the one constant thing was my art from doing commissioned artwork or painting children's furniture for preschools and schools.

In 1904, William Goldsmith Braid founded the B.C. Distillery. The spot chosen for this enterprise was on Pipeline Road in Sapperton, often considered the working man's district of the city of New Westminster. According to the New Westminster Heritage Streets of New Westminster Index, the name of Pipeline Road was changed to Braid St in 1909.

Hi, my name is Kristi. I am a photographer based out of New Westminster, BC. I began photographing my younger sister when I was 14 and my love for photography grew into a passion. I would dress her up as a fairy or a princess and we would spend hours in the woods creating photos.
As I've grown in my photography I've fallen in love with the process of creating connections with people, hearing their stories of growth, and capturing their individuality through a single image.I feel the most inspired while working with creative entrepreneurs who are starting their own businesses and need images that share a part of their unique personality, reflects their brand, what they are passionate about, and the spaces they create in.

Tracey Costescu is an award winning artist residing in British Columbia, Canada. Her work captures the emotion and atmosphere of her subject, balancing classical realism with a contemporary, atmospheric aesthetic. While she works deliberately, consciously employing traditional and non-traditional techniques, a great deal of her work relies on the subconscious, intuitively following the direction that her work takes her.
