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.

So how can things get any better over at the Danusers' house?  They just brought home a BRAND NEW BABY, Mister Hudson!  When Christine texted me to let me know that they had adopted kid #2, I was driving and actually squealed out loud.  I'm sure any other drivers that happened to see me thought I was nuts.  Millie was in the back seat and was ready to dial-an-asylum.

World's best big sister Ava is over the moon about Huddy and still an absolute hoot.  I am so excited that my "stay" with this family is extended and I get to document Hudson's first year.  We are gonna have so much fun watching this beautiful baby boy grow and learn all kinds of tricks.  I'm sure Ava is already compiling a workbook for Huddy on how to work the system to get a piece of chocolate.  No doubt in my mind.  She's crafty, that Ava, and I love her for it!

I can't wait until Hudson's 6 month session.  The weather is gonna be prime for an outside shoot.  You know what that means?  Baby toes in grass!!!

Gorgeous shots, Kate! But then again - it's you! Anything less wouldn't be expected! :o)

What a cutie, what a cutie, what a CUTIE!  Oh, I am so blessed to have this great job during which I get to be around the most precious babies all the time.  I get to play with them and ooo and ahhhh and don't have to change any diapers and get to know their cool parents.  What a lucky girl I am!  Knox and his rad 'rents, Amy and Keith, were a prime example of why I lurve what I do.  Not only was Knox one of the cutest baby boys that I have ever met, but Amy and Keith are supah laid back and stylish to the nth degree so you KNOW that inspiration was around every corner during their shoot.  This was, by far, one of my favorite newborn sessions yet.  Hope you feel the magic.

Gotsta give a HELLZ YEAH to Amie (Taylor Kate's mama) for referring them to me.  I heart you and hope you guys are rockin' and rollin' on the toddler scene!  ;-)  Xoxo!

Can't wait to see you guys again at Knox's 6 month session!  What fun it will be to see how much he has grown!

Cuteness in every picture! I just can't stand it. My favorites are the 1st one, the ones on the green rug, and with the orange tie! This little guy is such a cutie!

I cannot believe Karch is one.  He has blossomed into such a little charmer and that was well demonstrated during our session's beginning at the local Waffle House.  From his grins to his sprints to his curiosity and Cheerio-smuggling, he had everyone in the joint absolutely enamored with him.  After breakfast, we went back to his crib to play a little bit.  Of course, he had some cool moves.  Here is what we came up with.

What a darling boy...I can't wait to keep up with him over the years.  I have a feeling he's gonna be a lady killer!

Lauren says:

What a darling! Love the black and white laughing picture.

Thanks Kate! I cannot wait to share with the family and get all his photos of his first year put up in the casa.

loves!

Lots o' babies and lots of Christmas around these parts, huh?  It's pretty cool that both this post and the previous one involve kids that are parts of long-time loyal clients.  That makes me feel like somebody just injected me with 100 cc's of holiday spirit!  Yahoo!

Amelia is a 1 year old now and man is she a doll.  You've seen her before, but here is proof that she just keeps getting better with age...just like her mom and dad (Blanca + Brian) and big sister, Clarissa.  I just LOVE this family!

speaking of Christmas wishes... this is all I wanted for Christmas!! Kate, we were just so anxious to see the outcome! Oh and to our delight these are absolutely amazing! Thank you for capturing my little princesa, who we cannot wait until she starts speaking to us for hours! My timid tween who's eyes I can look into until my end of days. You have been part of another milestone in our lives and hope that you will be part of many more--God willing!
Luv ya!

The Dash Man is finally two.  I have known him for so long that he now really considers me to be more of his playmate than his photographer.  In fact, this time, he not only answered with, "Miss Kate" to my question of "Who made you so smart?", but he also got visibly upset when he heard I had to go bye-bye.  Oh, Sweet Dash...you are a joy of a kid to photograph...no fits, no drama, just pure happiness and love, all wrapped up into a cute little guy!
