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’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 […]

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 […]

It’s that time of year! School is started, the weather is cooling and some really ambitious people are probably already done with their Christmas shopping. (Not me!  I like to shop on Black Friday and the week before Christmas because I have a hard time keeping gifts a secret, lol) You are probably starting to […]

I am so happy to be offering mini sessions again this year for Holiday photos! It’s a great opportunity to update your family photo for your walls and your Holiday cards. I’ve decided to offer them a little earlier this year to avoid the chilly weather! You have the option of Old Town Fort Collins […]
