Welcome!
I'm so very ecstatic that you decided to join the party.  It is my life's passion to keep you entertained through my photographs of weddings, babies, my family, and pretty much anything that moves me. 

Stick around and become part of the family. 
Come early, come often, leave comments.

This might be the most yin and yangiest couple I've ever photographed.  She's an energetic, outspoken extrovert times infinity (read:  firecracker), and he's calm, quiet, and maybe even a little bit shy.  Both are as sweet as can be and so accommodating to everyone around them and especially to each other.  I think that's a recipe for a wonderful relationship, right?!

Kim, Joe, and I bounced around the Fort Worth Stockyards recently during their engagement session (beers in hand, of course) and saw amazing boots, bikes, horses, and warm and cozy rustic surroundings.  Salt of the earth, that's them.  Kim and Joe are getting married in May out in Wichita Falls (Kim's hometown), and I can't wait to photograph their big day!  Stay tuned, as it's right around the corner!

My cutie pie mermaid of a Millie has been back in swimming lessons since January.  Big arms, treading water, going down the big slide on her tummy...wow, we've come a long way.

I finally got my act together enough to bring my gear down there to photograph her progress and silly faces and everything in between.  This may be her favorite activity in the world.  It's a good thing we're almost finished with the pool in the back yard because this little fish loves water!  I think all we need is one of these and we'll be officially set for summer.  Pool party at the Meffords'!

So cute, they are, that B & B.  Brecht and Brandon booked with me what seems like eons ago, so I've gotten the chance to get to know then (especially Brecht) a bit.  What I can say about this smashing, dashing, tremendously good looking couple is that, though they turned 1500 heads during our engagement shoot, they are incredibly down to earth and completely clueless of how cute they really are.  Though Brecht is definitely a detail-oriented creative, planning go-getter and Brandon is more of the mellow, big-picture scanning variety, they are both quite charming in their own ways as well as together.  They work.  They know this.  They've been together for over 5 years, so they are in it to win it!  Big money.  No whammies.  Score.  Plus, their dog, Reise, is the icing on that fabulous wedding cake.  Check out this family to be below!

It's gonna be a long wait till their wedding in October, but it will be so worth it.
Hugs to you both, B & B, and give Reise a snuggle from me, too!


Wesley says:

OMG!!!!!! Brecht and I met at Dogtoberfest last year and it is fabulous that you are photographing her wedding Kate!!! As always, fabulous pictures for a fabulous couple!!! Cheers!

What a cute couple! Love all the photos with the great colorful details in the background, but might have to say my favorite is the black and white. So simple and intimate!

Okay, so they're NOT from the future, but they ARE modern.  We're modern parents, so it's only natural that our children match that.  Modern kids like modern art...they're not yet into that Renaissance-y stuff, as Jackson Pollock seems more like what they are into.  I'm guessing that Pollock's splatters are beyond their school classmates' scribbles, but they've gotta kinda look familiar.  I'm just sayin'.

So, during this fine spring break, Joanna and I rounded up our kids and took them to Fort Worth's Modern Art Museum.  If I said, "Don't run!" or "Hands behind your back!" once, I said it thirty-seven times, but all in all, we survived.  Actually, we did better than "survive".  We had a wonderful experience.  Joanna and I were jonesin' to see the Andy Warhol:  The Last Decade exhibit, and Millie, Sloan, and Jack just wanted to get out of the house and see something new.  We saw an exhibit made of candy, one that the kids could catwalk on, and recreated the same photograph I took of Millie three years ago.  We were all pretty inspired by the time we left (though the kids were pretty repulsed by Warhol's urine painting), and I'm looking forward to the next museum trip with this gang!

Now these are some cute kids! Amazing last picture - amazing! I just love it. Kate, you got a little "poser" in Millie. She definitely knows how to work it for the camera.

Kate,
Love the pictures. I can never get enough of my grandkids, and Millie is darling too. You really caught the playful side of them.

Baby Will is just getting so big and knows way more tricks now.  He can't get enough of me.  During my stay in Austin a couple of weekends ago to photography Lydia + Ed and Brecht + Brandon, I even got to babysit Will for a night!  We've definitely bonded, and he loves to give me kisses.  I miss him already!!!

Uncle Bobby says:

Damn, Will looks like he is ready to ROCK!!!!!
I mean seriously, when I look at him I see the future bassist for Sas-Crotch (background: that is a fictional tejano-grunge-Enrique Iglesias Tribute band I have made up in my head that has a really big female lead singer-it's like "Right Said Fred" after a case of Ol Milwaukees Best...w/ lime of course)!
Rock on brutha!!!
