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!

Baby Enaya is just a totally gorgeous newborn little girl! Her hair just makes me swoon! She slept so well for her session, and whenever she started to stir, mama nursed her and she was happily milk drunk! I could have totally kept her!  Big brother was not much interested in being in pictures but […]

Little Mr. Brooks was such a sweet little gentleman! He was 9 days old for his session in my Loveland studio and just looked like a wise and kind old soul. I love all his little expressions! He was so content, awake or asleep and just hung out for a little while gazing at me […]

Baby Winnie arrived just before Labor day! So kind of her to not keep her mama waiting until her due date! She was born with a fantastic head of hair and the best big sister. Kinsey adores her baby sister and was so interested in her for her newborn pictures. There is nothing like the […]

The very first time I photographed a newborn I felt like I discovered a calling. In home newborn photography is such a unique experience. I get to be there with you in one of those first days with your brand new baby. Your birth experience is fresh in your mind. Your home is abuzz with […]

Sweet little Emmett was born at 6lbs 15oz and was one of the best sleepers I’ve ever photographed. I loved seeing him at home with his proud new parents and getting to capture him at just 9 days old. Scroll down for some of my favorites from his session and click on the video if […]

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 […]

Evelyn was due mid-January but had plans of her own! When her mama went into labor on December 31st, the already decided nickname of Evie became even more appropriate! She was born in the very early hours of 2013 and was the first baby girl of the New Year born at Poudre Valley Hospital. When […]
