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!

The Hurley’s were one of the very first families I photographed when I was portfolio building for my business. We’ve kept in touch over the last couple of years and I even had the pleasure of taking maternity photos for Sara when she was expecting little blonde haired, blue eyed Lincoln 🙂 We met up […]

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 […]

I loved this Old Town Fort Collins family session! We worked quickly due to a light sprinkle but I had a blast with these sweet girls and their parents! The colors and textures in Old Town make such a fun background. The Lucas family picked such great outfits to pop against urban backdrop. Don’t you […]

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 […]

Erin and I went to high school together and reconnected back in December when I took her little man’s newborn pictures at her home in Fort Collins. I was so delighted when she contacted me to photograph her whole family while her oldest brother was in town for Memorial Day. Not only did we get […]
