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 […]

“Your first child makes you parents; your second makes you a family” Mama shared this quote with me at their session and it totally set the mood for Saxby’s newborn photos. Snuggled up on the studio bed looking down at their newest little family member, you could feel the love and pride oozing out of […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
