Kelly :: Hot Mommy
Bump alert! Kelly and Jason, 2 of my most favoritest videographers ever, met up with me a couple of weeks ago to sweat, eat melty ice cream, discover the meaning of their baby’s name, get reprimanded by a pimple-faced teenager in Barnes & Noble, and sweat some more. Good times! We ended up hanging for a couple of hours and I am so glad I got to know them better…they’re my kinda peeps!
His name means WHAT?????????
If I remember correctly, it was something along the lines of Beautiful Swamp Thing.
Love love love this.
Almost shutdown here by the teenager.
As soon as they reached the bottom floor, we were dunzo.
But he couldn’t see us in the magazine section! Ha ha.
It was a scorcher, so we had to get Kelly and her belly cooled off.
A little rest time never hurt nobody.
Helloooooo, Hollywood! What a hot mom-to-be, right?
This one gives me goosebumps!
Sister doesn’t even know how cute she is…
Yeah. I’m bad.
We snuck back into B&N.
Let’s rock, baby!
Can’t wait to see you guys again for the newborn session!
I am sooo looking forward to meeting the beautiful swamp thing a.k.a. Carson!
Hot damn! These are rocking. I love the ice creams ones most. No, the headphone ones. No, the ones through the window. No…. can’t decide as each one is better than the previous one And seriously, could they be any better looking?
Sarah :: Hot Mommy
My absolute best friend in the whole world is about to have her first child…a beautiful bouncing baby boy. I cannot wait to meet him and shower him with hugs and kisses and celebrate his arrival, but until then, I’m gonna celebrate her. She’s positively breathtaking, isn’t she? Sarah makes it look way too easy.
Just darling!
See if you notice the little boy in the background…Sarah’s future!
Work it, sister!
Stunning.
So cute!
Because of Sarah’s dedication to eating oh-so-healthily, this bambino is MADE WELL.
Congrats, lady! I love ya!
makes me want to be preggers again. don’t tell randy! 
lovely lovely lovely!
Oh my goodness. She is absolutely darling and these are awesome maternity portraits (which I usually hate). Can I have her hair please too? Thank you.
Awesomeness.
Sarah, you are both gorgeous and radiant at the same time!!! Kate….these are absolutely stunning!
L-O-V-E I-T! How precious and I can’t wait to meet him either!!! Absolutely Beautiful!!!
[…] 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. […]
2008 Was My Favorite!
The 2nd year of Juxtapose Photography was phenomenal. I got to meet and learn about so many wonderful people through the lens and face to face. I am the luckiest girl in the world, and here’s the proof! Here is the slideshow of all of my favorite images (both personal and professional) from this past year.
To see the show, please click on the image below or this link! Then, hold your horses for a minute or so and let it load. Then, turn up your speakers and rock and roll!

Holy Moly! Beautiful.
LOVE it! looks like 08 was an awesome year. we’re looking forward to seeing you in 09 as audrey grows.
Awesome Kate! We had so much fun with you in ‘08! Looking forward to ‘09!
What fun! We loved every frame, the music, the talent you display. Most of all though, we love YOU, and MILLIE and BOBBY and the Noops! Congrats on a fabulous year and an even better one for 2009!
Thanks for keeping capturing all of this AND making 2008 not look like the “kick in the crotch” I thought it was!
Amber is a Hot Mommy!
Amber is one of Katie’s best friends. Now Katie’s Bailey will have a new little friend come this October. Little Audrey Bliss is due on the scene in just seven short weeks, and I can’t wait to meet her! With Amber and Michael’s classic good looks, sense of humor, and fun-loving personalities, Miss Audrey is sure to be a humdinger of a baby! (That’s a good thing for those who aren’t from the South.)
Is she cute or IS SHE CUTE???
These lines are crazy cool. Lovin’ it!
One favorite! (Heck, they’re all favorites.)
Hey Audrey—STOP kicking your mommy!
I told her to act like “I am woman, hear me roar” and she died laughing. I knew she would.
Only Whitney Houston would take that line seriously. Crack is whack, yo!
Um, hot.
Yes, we have sailboats in Dallas. Who knew?
Michael and Amber—you are a darling couple and I am so glad Katie and PM referred you to me.
I’m really stoked to work with you over the course this next year!
kate is awesome!!! thanks for a wonderful afternoon! we had a great time meeting you and are looking forward to the coming year. let’s not forget the security guard (who we named oscar the grouch) that kept interrupting us! on a different note, i know that we will look back on these pics many years from now and treasure what you have captured on film. see you in october after she gets here!
These are great and they remind me of when I lived in that area and a certain future “Hot Mommy To Be” used to come visit me. Sans Mills of course!
You’re amazing Kate! Lovely photos!! She’s beautiful! I Love the one of her laying down! Flawless!!!
What a beautiful couple! The images are all so lovely - I love the one of her cracking up in the field - belly laughs are always great for baby!
What a great capture, Kate! I always feel like I know your clients after I read and view the “Sneak Peek”, and this is no exception. Amber, Michael and baby….what fun!!!
[…] Amber and Michael were blessed with Miss Audrey Bliss earlier this month. If I do say so myself, she is one humdinger of a baby. She is so easy going, and makes the most adorable faces. Her lips are sure to rival Angelina’s, and those baby blues…move over Cameron Diaz! […]
[…] almost culled this image out of my final selection for Amber and Michael’s newborn session for Miss Audrey. One of Audrey’s eyes is out of focus, and it’s just […]
Ashley is a Hot Mommy!
Imagine my surprise when one of my sorority sisters and fellow hellraiser at TCU contacts me to tell me she’s preggers. I was ecstatic for Ashley, and over the moon that she wanted to do a Let’s Rock Baby Plan to document her first baby’s milestones. She and her husband Chris are going to be the sweetest parents, and it is going to be a blast working with them over this next year. I can’t wait to meet Sweet Caroline…just another month and some days!
Ashley’s only real craving? Sprinkles cupcakes. Yummers.
Ashley has Caroline’s room ALL decked out. She even painted canvases and onesies and displayed heirloom items to perfection.
As a teacher, Ashley will undoubtedly be reading to Caroline nonstop.
There is just something about this next photograph. The way Chris looks at the oh-so-radiant Ashley is breathtaking and makes me nearly well up with tears of happiness for her and the life she has made for herself.
Damn, Texas is HOT.
In case of emergency, break out the fan. What a hot mommy, in every sense of the word “hot”!
Thanks, Ash and Chris, and I will see you in a few weeks for the newborn sesh and to meet your darling Caroline!
The fan pick is the best EVER!!! Like out of a magazine!
Oh my gosh…how fun!!! I think you should do a whole tribute to the Zeta ladies you have photographed. Such great pictures and so fun to see old friends! Miss you Miss Kate! Holly says hi.
AWW..almost brought tears to my eyes. I am so happy for Ashley. She radiates what being a mommy is all about!
Great photos! You were ROCKIN’ it. She’s a beautiful pregger. 
What a gorgeous glowing mommy! Love em all - Especially love the sweet shot with her glowing blue eyes next to hubbies blue shirt with his hand lovingly on her head and her hands holding Caroline - fantastic! The b&w’s are awesome too!
Oh my goodness, what I would do for a sprinkles cupcake right now, yum. Great images, love first and last the best, very creative
love the fan girl…awesome work! how ya been girl?!!
[…] Caroline finally showed up to the party we call the Botto family. Ashley and Chris are so ecstatic and just watch her every move with baited breath. She is quite divine, I must say. […]
Amie :: Hot Mommy
Because she is about to go into labor at any given moment, I thought I would make Amie smile by showing her these. SO CUTE! She and Michael are preparing to welcome Miss Taylor Kate into their lives, and I will be photographing all of the little darling’s milestones. I can’t wait to meet her so I can say, “I knew you when you were in your mom’s tummy!”
How adorable is she?
Talk about a belly laugh. I bet Taylor Kate was even giggling at that one.
Hotness!
They are really quite precious together.
Favorite times a thousand. Does she glow or does she GLOW???
Can’t wait to see you guys in a few weeks for the newborn session!
They look great, despite my feeling HUGE! You’re aweseome, thanks so much - I can’t wait to see the rest of them!
You look great, Amie! One hot mommy indeed! Can’t wait to see pics of little Taylor!
Love her pictures! She’s so cute! Love the spot too!
amie, you look freakin’ fabulous! i’m so excited for you guys! love em kate!
[…] the past couple of months getting to photograph all of these babies! On Thursday, I got to meet Amie and Michael’s little newborn, Miss Taylor Kate. They were certainly ready for her, and she didn’t […]
[…] 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 […]
Now Showing
On Saturday morning, I met Katie and Paul Michael (or PM, as I call him) at the Shops at Legacy in Plano. It was such a lovely distraction from the breathing treatment factory that we call home. Bobby’s mom came to help us with Millie, so I eagerly seized my opportunity to regain some sanity and met up with Katie and PM. These two are near and dear to my heart, as they are loyal repeat clients who hired me when I was just getting started last November. THIS November, their little baby chica will be born! Katie and PM will be the most AMAZING parents, as they are both fun-loving with ginormous hearts. Plus, their careers could come in very handy! Katie is a fabulous nurse and PM is a preacher man, so I will gladly bet that their little girl will be healthy and spiritually fulfilled!
OK…how gorgeous are they???
And, go ahead. TRY to tell me that Katie doesn’t look like an absolute goddess in this next photograph. Just TRY!
If you are a faithful blog follower, I am guessing that you have noticed how I am quite drawn to SIGNS and often find a quirky little home for them in my images. For instance, Katie is NOW SHOWING, and is looking more beautiful than ever!
How smokin’ are these two? Get a room! Oh, oops…I guess you already did. =)
Another thing I tend to include in my sessions is BYSTANDER ACTIVITY in the background, or even bystanders engaged in some sort of activity WITH the main subject. People make the world go ’round, and I adore capturing unique connections between my clients and their surrounding environment.
Check out the mom and kid on the trikes behind Katie and PM…this will be them in about 2 years!
After we had exhausted the Shops, we headed to Katie’s parents’ house for another little project a la Juxtapose.
The concept that most sets me apart from other photogs the way I UTILIZE FOOD AND DRINKS IN MY SESSIONS. It was not a conscious decision to include it when I first started, but it has since evolved into a definite source of my inspiration. Food can be so representative of personality, of a moment, or of an emotion, that it has become so natural for me to want to include it in shoots. Plus, I think my clients dig it, as well!
I know Katie did. (Two snaps for anyone who just got that little joke.) During her pregnancy, Katie has craved chocolate chip cookies like Lohan craves the drink, so I thought we should whip up a batch and let her go to town!
PM’s little cookie monster! Just don’t tell her doctor she is eating that cookie dough!
Can’t wait to meet Miss Bailey! Sending lots of love and cyber-epidurals. Muah!
What an ADORABLE session!!! I just love all the thought, and meaning and symbolism you put into each shot. IT makes them all the more special!
Chris and I just tried a maternity session with me over the weekend and we had to put the cookie dough to good use as well….. I was just craving it again a little while ago 
I hope to have the photos up on the blog in a few days.
Well - this is my nephew and his adorable little wife! What a joy to see these pictures - the special interest you feel for them is evident and the love between them cannot be missed! Thanks you for these beautiful memories!
i’m totally in love with that session. She is STUNNING, and so are your shots! The ‘now showing’ one…so good! and the silhouette against the white rocks… and the cookie dough! too much goodness for one post!
and i’m so sorry to hear about sweet millie. That’s so scary. i hope it passes very soon. You guys must be exhausted. sending YOU big cyber hugs!
these are so great…so creative…so refreshing…i bet they love them!
i love the belly shot (#4)…i bet it looks killer in B+W!
thanks for the blog love! i just had to say that i LOVE this session you did - the pics rock and the ideas you came up with are so fun!
see. i knew we were soulmates! i incorporate food too! as much as possible. food and anything to do with water. waterfalls. lakes. sprinklers. yup!
[…] only did I photograph her parents last fall, but I also got to photograph her when she lived inside the basketball that Katie was smuggling. Katie and Paul Michael are just some of my very favorite clients, and guess what? Because […]

Kate you have no idea how awesome you are!! Loves the pics times a million and a half! We had so much fun just hanging out with you! Just think…if we never took the B&N pics, we probably wouldn’t have known what little swamp thing’s name meant! Love ya and I seriously mean it, can’t wait till our newborn sesh, it’s going to kick arse!
