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!

“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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

The challenge for the 2nd week of Project 52 was to notice the white space or negative space in the image and why it’s there.  In this shot, I loved how small my girly looked sitting on the sofa and how the light was landing on her. I wanted to make sure not to get […]
