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!

I met up with Katie on a chilly, and very windy, spring day to document her fourth pregnancy. This baby will be blessed with 3 big brothers, but the question remains, boy or girl? We’ll find out in just a few more weeks! P.S. I’m guessing girl. I have no history of being right or […]

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 […]

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 […]

Eek! I got a little bit behind on my Project 52! I’ll be totally honest, symmetry had me stumped! I took pictures last week but really none of them met the theme. For example, check out my cute little butterfly: I decided I needed to step away from my usual subject (my kiddos!) and look […]

It’s amazing how technology keeps up connected these days. I went to high school with sweet Charlie’s mama and we reconnected through Facebook and then in person with the Pregnancy Support Group of  Northern Colorado as I was ending the near of my pregnancy with Andrew and Erin was happy to be out of the […]

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 […]

This weeks challenge was to fill the frame. It was fun to get up close and personal with my little subject. We cleaned up and rearranged Harper’s bedroom this week so we could play with the awesome light that comes in her window. Aren’t her little eyelashes just so precious? And I had to share […]

The challenge for the 2nd week of Project 52 was to notice the white space or negative space in the image and why it’s there.  In this shot, I loved how small my girly looked sitting on the sofa and how the light was landing on her. I wanted to make sure not to get […]
