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!

Sweet baby Nora made her grand entrance into the world a little bit early but she’s the strongest little fighter and managed to leave the hospital with no time in the NICU! Before she was born, her mama and daddy came into the studio to celebrate this pregnancy with maternity photos. After losing their first […]

Shelby and Danny contacted me during her second trimester about newborn photos. At the time they were a little on the fence about doing maternity pictures but ultimately decided on a studio maternity session. They were so happy they did! This time with just the two of them waiting for their first baby is so […]

Pregnancy is such a magical crazy thing. In the thick of it, you realize the magic is there but it’s not until you are through it that you see how amazing your body is and all that you are capable of. Years down the road when that baby is headed off to school you will […]

I get it. It’s hard to step in front of the camera with an extra 30+ lbs of belly. But pregnancy pictures are something your children will cherish for years to come. The goal of my studio maternity sessions are not only to preserve this short moment in time for your baby to hold in […]

I love when mom-to-be contacts me early in her pregnancy to start planning pictures. It’s so fun to share in the excitement of the new baby and also gives us time to plan the perfect sessions! I love customizing maternity and newborn pictures for each family! Caroline asked to include her first (fur)baby, Noosa and […]

When Erin contacted me she knew she wanted newborn pictures of her little man but she was on the fence about maternity pictures. I totally understand how intimidating it is to be in front of the camera, but I am so glad we went for it! Soon after we started Erin and Jose were totally […]

I love newborn babies. The way they feel in your arms, how they just kind of melt into you all curled up with that sweet baby smell. I was so blessed to spend  the morning of Juliana’s  10th day snuggling with her and taking her newborn pictures in her home. Can you believe she kept […]

I firmly believe that babies have a mind of their own as to when and how they should come into the world. That’s part of the reason I only take a coupld of newborn sessions a month. You just don’t know when a baby will come early or be 2 weeks past due. Brody was […]

You know that pregnant mom that looks like she’s smuggling a basketball under her shirt? Totally Katie! We had a little bit of a crazy evening for Derek and Katie’s maternity session in Fort Collins trying to wrangle their pups, Russ and Dakota. I was so happy to have a shot where they are both […]

Eleanor had a mind of her own as to when she should be born. Arriving 11 days after her due date, she’s stolen her family’s hearts. Big brother Henry is especially proud and was so excited to hold Eleanor during their newborn session. You can tell these two will be lifelong friends. In case you […]
