Welcome, friend! I'm Kate. I married my high school sweetheart over 10 years ago and we have three curious and imaginative kids. You'll find motherhood stories and ideas here, along with gorgeous photos and videos!

Cole and Luke met me in Old Town Fort Collins on an early chilly morning in September. It was clear from the start that Cole was the class clown and Luke was the more timid of the two. Not to worry though! Mom broke out her awesome monkey dance and got both boys giggling like […]

Miss Charlotte is no stranger to the camera, her mom being a photographer and all. She did have a touch of PCS (photographer’s child syndrome) though. 🙂 My oldest has a severe case after over 3 years in front of my lens. It’s not so much that she is shy in front of the camera […]

The Grobabski’s Family Session in the Fall was one of my very favorite’s for the year. First of all, they showed up dressed to perfection! Perfectly coordinated with pops of color but not too matchy. The mustard yellow they chose complimented the greenery around us and brought out the same shade of yellow that grows […]

How adorable is this little ladybug? She is just a few weeks older that my own little one year old and we had a blast capturing her at this super fun age. She was just starting to walk around the time of our session 🙂 Her mama and daddy did a great job of keeping […]

Erin and I went to high school together and reconnected back in December when I took her little man’s newborn pictures at her home in Fort Collins. I was so delighted when she contacted me to photograph her whole family while her oldest brother was in town for Memorial Day. Not only did we get […]

Bryce is such a sweet little guy! We had an awesome time wandering around Dixon Resevoir in Fort Collins and getting to know each other. He was really into being right up close to the mountains and loves nature. You can tell he makes friends where ever he goes and wins over hearts. A fisherman […]

It’s so hard to believe that it was over a year ago that I was sitting in the waiting room of Poudre Valley Hospital in Fort Collins, waiting to hear that sweet lullaby signaling the birth of my niece Imogene. In that year, she’s grown so much and blossomed into the cutest little red-head I […]

The Schinkel Family met me at Rolland Moore in Fort Collins as the sun was rising higher in the sky and casting lovely light into the golden grass. We had a quick session, getting a few family photos as well as some of the girls individually and together. Love these girls gorgeous blue eyes! I […]

The weekend after Thanksgiving, just before the weather turned really cold, I held family mini sessions at Rolland Moore Park in Ft. Collins. The George Family met me bright and early for a quick session. 3-year-old H had us all cracking up, evident by mom and dad’s expressions in the bottom left photo. These are […]
