Amelia is 8 Months!
This little chicken is growing up! Not only can she sit up by herself, but she can crawl, eat plums, and flirt with the best of ‘em. Amelia is as delightful as the first time I met her, if not more, and it’s evident that her mommy and daddy are doing a FANTASTIC job. Speaking of Amelia’s ‘rents, it was wonderful to see Blanca + Brian. Building relationships like ours is one of my favorite things about my business and it makes me SMILE!
Hello, cuteness!
Clarissa is a sweet, doting sister.
She’s adorable in her own right! What a lovely little lady she is…
Amelia played “On and Off” with these shades for a good 5 minutes.
She’s the star of the show!
Those eyes kill me…sooo pretty!
Brian is BANANAS about his little baby girl!
Amelia contemplates crawling.
She was all over that plum. It ended in a massacre.
Mommy’s kisses are the sweetest. So are baby’s!
Can’t wait to see you guys again when Amelia turns 1!
Much love to the 4 of you!
Aww! I love the 1st pic where she’s swinging looking at the boys 
Muchisimas gracias, Kate! 
These are GORGEOUS! Can’t wait until our next session!!
XOXO
These pictures are adorable! You all look great. Sorry Brian, but the girls really steal the show!
Kate, wonderful as always. Love them all. I especially enjoy the one with Amelia in sunglasses and laughing!!!
Thanks Again
Love these pics. Amelia looks adorable as always. We like the one where she is wearing the two-two. We can’t wait to see the next ones:)
My favorite picture is the Plum Massacre. Even in her serious moments she looks cute. Kate these are awesome pictures.
Elaine + Adam :: Hitched
This wedding took me (and Bobby, as my lovely assistant) to the Outer Banks in North Carolina. Adam’s aunt, Eileen, hosted the wedding reception and all of the rest of their fabulous family members chipped in to pull off this feat. The weather was gorgeous, everyone looked stunning (Elaine and Adam were very Kennedy-esque!), and it was so nice to see these two lovebirds finally make it official!!!
Adam’s great great grandfather wrote a letter to Adam’s grandfather bequeathing him the diamond that is now in Elaine’s engagement ring.
Reading the letter, I completely got goosebumps and wished my family history was a little less choppy and had more tradition like this…
Oh well…maybe I can come up with a genius heirloom plan in my sleep. It’s got to start somewhere, right?
Adam’s artistic cousin, Billy, completed Elaine’s updo with a veil.
Adam fidgets. Adam fidgets more.
Doublestick tape, anyone! Elaine had that dress on lockdown. =)
Let the show begin!
What? She’s mine now? YESSSSSSSSSSS.
Elaine’s son Collin was cracking me up all day long with his facial expressions!
It’s a done deal!
Love these girls. They were all so supportive of Elaine and were super fun to hang with.
The “mens” were great, too…
Handsome and funny gentlemen. Can’t ask for much more.
Oh, just adorable. White picket fence and all.
To the beach!
This is a nice friend to Elaine’s Unbridaled trolley photograph.
At the reception, mission #1 was to save.that.cake!!!
Ryan gets TOSSED like a salad.
Collin was jonesin’ for some pool action, too.
Break it down, Jamey!
Hilarious. Elaine’s dad is not a fan of the mohawk, I am guessing.
Adam’s other aunt, Rosemary, caused me to laugh only about 476 times that day.
Have you ever seen a guy want a garter MORE?
This was a first for my camera!
And a sparkler exit topped off the day…what a beautiful day it was!
Congrats, Elaine + Adam, and big ol’ hugs to you and your crazy family members!!!

You rocked it, chica!!! Tell all your friends to try the fried brie balls at Argyles…
WOW!! What a beautiful family of three!!! The outer banks was such a pretty setting too. Couldnt have asked for a better day huh? I love your style Elaine, This photography is exceptional too! Congrats and we love you!!!!!!!
What an adorable wedding. You did a fabulous job. love, Amy
Millie Swims Again!
Today marked the end of Millie’s summer swim camp at Emler Swim School. We are going to miss going, as Millie has quickly become quite the Emler mascot, but I am sure we will be back next year for more.
I can’t recommend Emler enough. Mills has come along from being afraid to put her face in and drinking gallons to diving to the bottom of the pool to get diving rings and torpedos and working on her front breath. Amazing.
Ready to get her swim on.
Soooo ready and excited! Today she gets a ribbon.
Yeaaaaaah. This cartwheel thing into the water might need to be corrected, but it is hilarious for now.
Doesn’t get much happier than this.
Reach with those big arms!
Miss Chelsea gets so proud of Mills.
No hands!
Miss Chelsea always asks, “OK, Mills. Goin’ down the slide today?”
I always think to myself, “Does a bear $#*% in the woods?”
Bubblicious. My little Nemo.
Lots of love!
Go Mills! You’re the best!!! (So are you, Kate!!!) Love, Nan
I needed me some Mills pics…..Thanks, Kate!!!
So sweet! Thanks for sharing! (”does a bear….” you’re funny)
very, very cute!!!!!!!
She really is so, so precious. What a fun little girl!!!
Way to go MIlls! You are super and we love you!!

Heather + Chad :: Hitched
After a short break from weddings (July was supposed to be my “vacation”, but it never works out as I plan for it to!), I am back and raring to go with a new one to show ya. Heather and Chad are the sweetest couple and I just absolutely adore their families and hilarious friends. It was a wonderful day…every single moment, and I hope these images transport Heather + Chad plus all of their guests right back to it.
First, Heather and the girls started the party off right at Haute Facade with my buddy, Kelly.
She’s only the BEST makeup artist/hair stylist in the DFW area!
Because I was there, I know that there was no pain really involved, but the flower girl’s aptitude for drama was nonetheless hilarious.
She loves it!
Loved Heather’s dress…the lace was gorgeous!
One flaw on the dress…there was no eye to put the hook into and Heather cute mom had to sew her in!
Love this shot. Nancy (the fabulous mom of the bride) had the most comfy slippers!
The dudes headed to the City Club to get ready for the festivities.
The two dads simultaneously check themselves.
Chad looked so dapper, but was still his adorably boyish, charming self.
Um, can you say STUNNING???
Heather was just beyond beautiful…she was radiant!
Reading Chad’s letter to her, Heather’s tears started rolling.
Are they cute or what?
Cheers!
Love it!
On to the reception!
Nicole, Heather’s super sweet BFF gave her toast and got choked up.
Chad, being the gentleman he is, gave her a handkerchief!
Conga!
Ride, Sally, Ride!
Trey, of Trey and the Tritones brought Heather and her girls on stage to belt it out!
And they’re off!
What a true blast it was working with you, Heather and Chad! Your families are the sweetest and your friends know how to shake it and I can’t wait to keep up with you guys as you grow together over the next few years. Big hugs to you both!
Beautiful pics, girl!
This was a fairy tale wedding and I’m so glad to have witnessed it. Everything was perfect…especially the bride. Chad was the perfect match for her. Good job! But that’s easy with the subjects. I wish you both the best life has to offer together.
Best wishes to a beautiful couple.
AMAZING!!!!!!!!!
Beautiful couple and wedding! Fantastic Photos! Quick shooting too - some serious skillz Kate!
My only granddaughter and oh my what a beautiful bride she was! Chad was the perfect gentleman and was ‘beautiful’ also. I am so proud of both of them and wish them all the happiness possible.
Kate, you have soooo outdone yourself! I’m grateful to our other Nancy for referring us to you. You’ve given us such a gift in your work. Can’t wait to see more! Thanks for being a special part of Heather & Chad’s wedding of their dreams.
You are just as beautiful now as the day you were born,You are
a very special Granddaughter.We love you.May you both always be happy.
It was a beautiful wedding.
ok kate, seriously. can i just follow you around to the weddings and carry your water or something?!?! first of all, obviously your pics are un believable and fab, and all the fancy nancy words that i can’ think of right now, but ALSO, your brides are crazy cool!!! i just want some of you and them to rub off on me-just a little is all i’m askin! (envision puppy dog eyes and bottom lip stuck out). am i too old for that? oh, well…pretty please!!!
gorgeous!!
Kanon :: Unbridaled
Kanon completely embodies the made up word I love so much: “unbridaled”. She is a beautiful bohemian bride from Texas who currently lives in France with her fiance, Guillaume. Worldly and even otherworldly, Kanon is the free spirited type who can easily light up a room/make an instant friend/get out of trouble with a wink. She’s the type of chick most girls wish they could be. Effortlessly charming…that’s Kanon! (I’ve heard she gets it from BOTH of her parents!)
Kanon will marry Guillaume in a couple of weeks, but until then, enjoy these frames from a fun morning in Fort Worth during which we dodged a rainstorm, took over a hot dog stand, and jaywalked with the best of ‘em.
Ohmigawd. Are you kidding me? How gorgeous is she? How French is the image?
Wassup, dog? =)
Just darling, isn’t she?
Love it!
Kanon has got that French thing down.
This makes me miss France. A LOT.
Kanon (and mom Terry!), it was an absolute blast playing with you out in the streets of Downtown Fort Worth!
Can’t wait till the 15th!!!
that is a great dress! i sure hope you are getting to go to france to shoot this wedding.
Love It!!! I can’t wait for this wedding –all my favorite people in one place!
OHHHHH - MAGOSH! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE! Thank you for making my sister feel so special…they had a blast with you and none of us can hardly stand the wait to August 15!!!
how ever did you find the corset shop..love it. and that dress…love it.
Secrets Secrets Are No Fun
Whoever said that is LAME. I have some big fancy fantabulous secrets that I am hiding from you, and it is kind of a LOT of fun scheming. I am so evil, right?
A few choice insiders know what’s rumblin’ over here at Juxtapose, but the rest of you fabulous people will just have to hold your pretty little horses. I promise to keep you updated!
Feel free to take a stab at it in the comment box below! =)
You are killing me! Seriously, I thought I was one of your choice insiders. Hmph! See if you get a Christmas card this year
oooh. i love a secret. whisper it to me- promise i won’t tell.
pretty please!
no, seriously….i won’t tell.
The 10 in 2010 was my first clue! Am betting that baby #2 is on the way.
Kate….you did a wonderful job, yet again! You do such a wonderful job of capturing such wonderful moments in this little angel’s life. It’s not hard to do when she’s surrounded by a loving family. They are truly great friends of mine and I can’t wait to see the pix when she turns 1. Keep up the great work!!
