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!

As summer starts to turn into fall, the sunflower field is in bloom! Last year was my first offering family photos at this private sunflower field near Windsor, CO, and I am so excited to be heading back this year! Mini sessions are the perfect option for the sunflower field! You get a beautiful variety […]

The weather is getting colder and colder and before you know it those sleigh bells will be ringing! Dear Kate Studios is hosting Holiday Mini Sessions November 24 this year! This will leave you plenty of time to order Christmas Cards and Family gifts from your images!  There will be two sets to choose from. […]

It’s that time of year again! I’m so grateful to be celebrating 3 years in business this year! I absolutely love what I do and feel so blessed to be able to do it and to stay home with my 3 little ones so much! To thank you for all that you do to support […]

I’ll be taking a maternity leave for a good chunk of the summer to spend time with our newest little boy when he arrives. I love the color and warmth of spring though and want to make sure you can get your family photos in before my little break! Spring Family Mini Sessions will take […]

(Not me!  I like to shop on Black Friday and the week before Christmas because I have a hard time keeping gifts a secret, lol) You are probably starting to […]
