Amelia is 8 Months!

Posted on August 27th, 2009 by Kate. Filed in Babies

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!

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!

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!!

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.


Conley is 6 Months!

Posted on July 22nd, 2009 by Kate. Filed in Babies

One of my sorority sisters from TCU has one of the (seriously, sincerely, genuinely…true story) most affable babies I have ever met/photographed. There is no doubt in my mind that this kid is gonna have an easy life. She’s pretty. She’s happy. She’s funny. She’s smart. She’s got mad tummy time skillz. It doesn’t get much better than that, folks.

Meet the gorgeous little darling, Conley.

Happy happy joy joy!

She is definitely at the age where she flips around on the changing table! Trouble!

Oh my gosh, these are beyond any expectation I had about it! You are so talented and creative, it blows me away. Thank you so much for capturing these moments for us!

Haley Jul 23rd, 2009 at 10:10 am

Conley is so cute! I can’t believe she’s already 6 months!

Bill Cawley Aug 10th, 2009 at 12:04 am

Awesome stuff! that second to last image is kick butt. ;-)


Karch is 6 Months!

Posted on June 25th, 2009 by Kate. Filed in Babies

The tiny little Karch is now a chubby and adorable 6 month old.

I can’t handle the cuteness. Can you?
Admit it.
It’s pretty difficult to contain yourself, right?
Karch is like the Rob Pattinson of babies. Ladies…watch out!


Ohhhhhhh. I see. I can’t have the keys to the car even though I am THIS CUTE. Good to know.

Have you ever seen a happier kid?

Ssssssssstretch!

The Karch Man loves his jumper. Go, baby, go!

karch6jumpercr.jpg

He’s a tall one!

Bootcamp for babies? Heather cheers her boy on as he shows off his muscles.

karch6pushupcr.jpg

I cannot wait to see what Karch is like in 6 months for his 1 year session.
I think I’d better start training now. I have a feeling I am going to need to wear my running shoes!

Sadie is 8 Months!

Posted on June 13th, 2009 by Kate. Filed in Babies

Oh, how Sadie is growing! She is so very active now, and is movin’-and-a-shakin’ with the best of ‘em. I could hardly keep up! She crawls and cruises, still loves her doggies, and even let me hold her while SHE held and drank her bottle. What a big girl, and still so darn cute!

Taylor Kate is 1!

Posted on June 11th, 2009 by Kate. Filed in Babies

The day has come, folks. Taylor Kate is a ONE YEAR OLD! I am really just in shock, as I remember photographing her when she was still in Amie’s tummy! Then came the day I REALLY met her, and instantly fell in love with her. And again and again! How could I NOT? She is such a doll!

She has learned so many tricks up to this point, and she loves showing them off. What’s best, though, is Taylor’s darling and happy little personality. She is such a charmer, and I can already imagine Michael sitting on his front steps with a shotgun waiting to meet potential suitors of hers!


For her one year old session, we met at the pond where Michael proposed to Amie.

I so remember the days when Millie did this.

She is already testing the grownups. Smart one, that Taylor!

Ay, Dios Mio! I’m a one year old!

taylor1aydiosmiocr.jpg

taylor1bootiecr.jpg

taylor1bridgecr.jpg

Still tutu fabulous!

taylor1lookupcr.jpg

taylor1goopcr.jpg

The bliss of trying one’s first birthday cake has morphed into all out sugar shock, and Taylor is in heaven!

Thanks so much, Amie and Michael, for trusting me with documenting this past year for you.
It has been an honor and a pleasure, and I hope you will stay in touch!

Will is a Newborn!

Posted on June 2nd, 2009 by Kate. Filed in Babies

Say hello to my newest “family” member, Baby William (”Will”). Though we don’t share DNA, we share lots of love and will be making memories for years to come.

Sarah and Scott are doing a great job…I am beyond impressed with their natural parenting ability. They don’t need much advice, but I am so blessed to be a part of his early days by giving them a helping hand and capturing the emotions that come along with this whirlwind of milestones.

Sarah’s Aunt Sharon came to visit and Will was in love with her!
Every time she held him he zonked out.

willnewsharoncr.jpg

Sarah’s uber creative cousin, September, came out to see Will also and couldn’t get enough of those toes!

willnewcrazytoescr.jpg

Sarah’s grandmother, Nellie, also visited.

willnewwithnelliecr.jpg

She was a bit obsessed with keeping the hat on and the feet covered like any good 94 year old lady would be.

willnewnellieocdcr.jpg

willnewrockingchaircr.jpg

willnewscottchestburpcr.jpg

Seriously? Seriously. This is the most gorgeous nursery I have ever seen.
And I have seen a lot.
Sarah designed it all…that’s talent.
It’s so tranquil it makes me want to take a nap upon entering!

willnewdeetscr.jpg

I want a ginormous print of this.
It just makes me giggle.

willnewpoutcr.jpg

Hey lady killer. Stop being so rad. You’re supposed to be a nerd until you marry Millie.
Don’t ruin the master plan, dude!

willnewguitarscr.jpg

Tough guys can have smush-mouths, too.

willnewtoughguyasleepcr.jpg

Oh, Will! I love you so much and can’t wait to watch you grow up.
Sarah and Scott—see you shortly! Big hugs and lots of love!

Sterling Maye is 6 Months Old!

Posted on May 26th, 2009 by Kate. Filed in Babies

Miss Sterling Maye is just getting cuter and cuter if that is even possible. She is now half a year old, and time is just flying by. It was great to see Tomi and Randy, and to help Chandler celebrate his birthday, and of course, to photograph Sterling’s favorite past-time…a bubble bath! Bubblicious, baby!


I love a good smush face.

Want to see a divine baby? The ever so precious Kyla, who is a buddy of Princess Sadie, met my camera last week and they decided to be BFFs. Check out the evidence of her gorgeousness below!

Ethan :: Spring 2009

Posted on May 7th, 2009 by Kate. Filed in Families, Babies

I can’t believe I am about to do this. I am literally going to post 26 images from, NO, not a wedding…a baby session. Well, he’s not quite a baby, but not yet a kid, but still. Whatever. 26 images is a freakin’ LOT. I’m just in love with this work, and think it is very representative of my style with babies and kids. I suppose it has something to do with his mommy. She and I lived together at TCU for a bit. We ruled. Kate and Kelly are IN, let the fun BEGIN, and all that. So, naturally, I love little Ethan like he is part of the fam. Plus, he is Millie’s future husband. Let’s hope she has a thing for younger guys.

Anywho, Kel came down from Connecticut for Holly’s wedding, and she wanted me to photograph the E-man. We had a blast chasing him all over and watching him explore the surroundings. He is a sweet, darling child with a bright spirit (read: energetic as hell) and killer eyes. I think Kelly and Marshall are in for it. DUNZO. Cooked. Good luck, guys!

Dash :: Spring 2009

Posted on May 5th, 2009 by Kate. Filed in Babies

This little baby is all growns up. What is happening? It is blowing my mind. I absolutely LOVE watching my Juxtapose babies learn new tricks and skillz, but Dash is honestly starting to make me feel old. He is walking and talking and maneuvering all over the Dallas Arboretum (better than I can, I might add), and though I might feel the urge to check into Botox, I cannot be more thrilled that his fab mama, Anne, has been so loyal.
