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!

My newest niece Clara came to see me at 12 days old for her newborn baby pictures. She was due in early June and my other sister-in-law (the baby of the family!) was scheduled to be married June 15th! Clara’s big brother’s and sister all came in their own time, the latest being born the […]

When you are having a baby it’s like there’s this whole world out there that you never even knew existed. Throughout your pregnancy you are researching car seats and cribs, sleep training and mommy and me classes. You suddenly realize how fast time is moving and know it will just feel faster once your baby […]

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 […]

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 rain held out just enough for us at Chapunga yesterday afternoon.  I had a fun time exploring new parts of the park with the K family and we got in a few smiles from 2.5 year old G.

I had a blast with Miss L this morning. Who knew I’d get such a workout? We must have run back and forth across the bridge at Chapunga Sculpture Park 20 times at least. I’ll bet she got an awesome nap this afternoon 😉
