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!

My newest niece Clara came to see me at 12 days old for her newborn baby pictures. She was due in early June and my other sister-in-law (the baby of the family!) was scheduled to be married June 15th! Clara’s big brother’s and sister all came in their own time, the latest being born the […]

“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 […]

Breanna and Justin brought baby Harper into the studio at just 13 days old but we had been planning her session for months! I love when parents contact me in the 2nd trimester so I can be prepared with special sets just for their baby 🙂 Breanna let me know that family photos were very […]

It’s so hard to believe that it was over a year ago that I was sitting in the waiting room of Poudre Valley Hospital in Fort Collins, waiting to hear that sweet lullaby signaling the birth of my niece Imogene. In that year, she’s grown so much and blossomed into the cutest little red-head I […]

Evelyn was due mid-January but had plans of her own! When her mama went into labor on December 31st, the already decided nickname of Evie became even more appropriate! She was born in the very early hours of 2013 and was the first baby girl of the New Year born at Poudre Valley Hospital. When […]

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 […]
