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 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’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 […]

I’ve known Bonnie for a few years now and so loved getting to know her family. It’s clear she and Brycen were made for each other. Happiness, joy and love oozes out of them and shines brightly in their sweet little Lucy. I loved watching her mommy and daddy making her grin and her trying […]

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 […]

Miss Charlotte is no stranger to the camera, her mom being a photographer and all. She did have a touch of PCS (photographer’s child syndrome) though. 🙂 My oldest has a severe case after over 3 years in front of my lens. It’s not so much that she is shy in front of the camera […]

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 […]

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 […]
