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!

Welcoming a new baby to the family <3

If you know me or have read anything on this website, you know motherhood is a theme that’s always on my mind. Being a mom is the most important role for me. Throughout my journey, I’ve loved seeing how motherhood is different for every woman. Yet there are universal truths too.   I’ve studied motherhood […]

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, […]

“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 […]

I get it. It’s hard to step in front of the camera with an extra 30+ lbs of belly. But pregnancy pictures are something your children will cherish for years to come. The goal of my studio maternity sessions are not only to preserve this short moment in time for your baby to hold in […]

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 […]

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 […]
