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!

You’ve gone through the hard work of finding a photographer that you love and you’re so excited to have beautiful family photos that show your family connecting and in love. Now comes the tricky work of deciding what to wear for family pictures that will be gracing your walls for years to come. For our […]

The thing about cliches is that they exist for a reason. Before having kids I heard people say over and over “Time flies” “Children grow so fast” and “Don’t Blink” and while I thought I understood, I didn’t. I’m not sure I fully understand now even how fast time truly moves. My kids are 4, […]

I love when mom-to-be contacts me early in her pregnancy to start planning pictures. It’s so fun to share in the excitement of the new baby and also gives us time to plan the perfect sessions! I love customizing maternity and newborn pictures for each family! Caroline asked to include her first (fur)baby, Noosa and […]

With each and every newborn photo session I do I fall more and more in love with my job. Part of it is that my own babies are not such babies anymore, so snuggly a brand new baby just a few days old bring me back to the days of doing that mom sway with […]

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 […]

The Votruba family was the winner of my annual birthday contest this year! We did their family photo session near the end of October and the colors and weather could not have been more beautiful! Reagan brought her A game and was full of personality for every shot. I love making these little ones shine […]

I’ve know Kelly since I first joined a playgroup with Harper when she was 6 months old. It’s been so fun to watch their family grow over the past few years and I can hardly believe Tessa is school-aged already! I met up with the family of 4 in Old Town Fort Collins in October […]

Cole and Luke met me in Old Town Fort Collins on an early chilly morning in September. It was clear from the start that Cole was the class clown and Luke was the more timid of the two. Not to worry though! Mom broke out her awesome monkey dance and got both boys giggling like […]

After having to reschedule our session from the crazy rainstorm and flooding in September, the Moore family was hoping for a sunny day. We didn’t exactly get our wish, but the clouds parted just long enough to fit in their family mini session though! 18 month old Silas was the sweetest little ball of energy […]

The Grobabski’s Family Session in the Fall was one of my very favorite’s for the year. First of all, they showed up dressed to perfection! Perfectly coordinated with pops of color but not too matchy. The mustard yellow they chose complimented the greenery around us and brought out the same shade of yellow that grows […]
