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 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 […]

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 love newborn babies. The way they feel in your arms, how they just kind of melt into you all curled up with that sweet baby smell. I was so blessed to spend  the morning of Juliana’s  10th day snuggling with her and taking her newborn pictures in her home. Can you believe she kept […]

Pumpkins are growing in my yard, school supplies are on the shelves (and Chirstmas trees too, what?!) and the […]

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 […]

The Schinkel Family met me at Rolland Moore in Fort Collins as the sun was rising higher in the sky and casting lovely light into the golden grass. We had a quick session, getting a few family photos as well as some of the girls individually and together. Love these girls gorgeous blue eyes! I […]
