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!

Eek! I got a little bit behind on my Project 52! I’ll be totally honest, symmetry had me stumped! I took pictures last week but really none of them met the theme. For example, check out my cute little butterfly: I decided I needed to step away from my usual subject (my kiddos!) and look […]

It’s amazing how technology keeps up connected these days. I went to high school with sweet Charlie’s mama and we reconnected through Facebook and then in person with the Pregnancy Support Group of  Northern Colorado as I was ending the near of my pregnancy with Andrew and Erin was happy to be out of the […]

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 […]

The weekend after Thanksgiving, just before the weather turned really cold, I held family mini sessions at Rolland Moore Park in Ft. Collins. The George Family met me bright and early for a quick session. 3-year-old H had us all cracking up, evident by mom and dad’s expressions in the bottom left photo. These are […]

This weeks challenge was to fill the frame. It was fun to get up close and personal with my little subject. We cleaned up and rearranged Harper’s bedroom this week so we could play with the awesome light that comes in her window. Aren’t her little eyelashes just so precious? And I had to share […]

A big part of this project is just forcing myself to pick up my camera more and I certainly did that this week! As for sticking to the theme, I’ll have to work on that a bit more 😉 The first topic was “line”. As I went through my pictures from this week, one thing […]

Join me in this weekly project for 2013 and improve your photography! Pick up your camera, even if it’s just the one on your cell phone and teach your eyes to see the world differently. I’ll post details on my Facebook page about what each week’s topic means to me but please feel free to interpret however […]

I love coming into the home of new baby. There is such a sense of calm and tranquility. The house is always warm and inviting, hushed whispers fill the air, and the love that everyone feels is palpable. Loretta’s extended family was soaking it all in on the day of my visit, knowing these days […]

Welcome to 2013! The beginning of a year is always an interesting time as we reflect on the past and make goals for the future. Have you made your resolutions? Our family is working on being more organized overall. We’ve set a budget, we’re working on getting schedules figured out, and we are adding more exercise to […]

Mini sessions are just around the corner and I’m sure you are all scrambling to decide what your family should wear! I’ve thrown together a little inspiration for you this week. I’ve used red, navy and gray as the main colors. Sticking to bolder colors and jewel tones  will help you stand out and be the […]
