Bess is 14!
Tom’s little sister (well, one of them) is just blossoming before my very eyes. In just one year, she has become such a lady and to be honest, it is super fun that we can finally be on somewhat of the same level. Not that I don’t connect with kids, but there is something to be said about “girl talk” like discussions about antiques and Anthropologie…our favorite.
Here she is—Miss Bess…almost in high school and oh-so-faboosh!
Bess is a self-professed scarf junkie.










Tom is 17!
I can’t believe that Tom is seriously 17. One year older than last year. What a fine young man he is turning out to be. It is pretty much blowing my mind that we actually had a conversation about college applications. Time flies when you’re having fun, I suppose. It really seems like just yesterday that we had our first session! Two years later…
This is the bus that Tom and the Brenham Cub football team take for out of town games.
It’s basically one of his homes away from home.








Such a cutie, right?


Thanks for another fantabulous session, Tom, and I hope the rest of your spring ROCKS! Hugs!
Corrie is 15!
She’s grown up before my very eyes. I cannot believe that Corrie is SUCH a lady. Not a girl…a LADY. Last year, she was definitely embarking on that territory, but now, she has claimed lovely ladyland as her own, and is WORKIN’ IT! She’s still very passionate about musical production, so it’s a blast to get the scoop on all of the current shows from her. I love my time with Corrie. If I could have a little sister, I would likely choose her. Betsy and Jerry, watch out. I just might steal her.
One of my favorite photographs ever. Ever. She is too cute!

Darling! She just reminds me of Judy Garland with her Toto.

I am so loving this moment. She’s a lady, but still a bit of a giggly girl.

Work it on out, sister!


Hello, smoldering! Her dad is going to have a tough time keeping the boys at bay!




Doing what Millie most loves to, Corrie twirls for the camera!

Thanks for a very exciting session, Miss Corrie, and I will see you soon…hopefully we can go to Legally Blonde together in Feb.!
I’ve known Corrie since the day she was born….You heard me - SINCE THE DAY SHE WAS BORN!!! What a treat each day has been to watch her grow up! Corrie, you are gorgeous, you are funny, you are brilliant!!! Kate, you SO captured Corrie…fab-u-lous!!!
Ahem….I’ve known Corrie since BEFORE she was born! She grows more wonderful all the time….and it’s so much fun to be surprised (in a good way) by her creativity. You got the “person” in your pics…Thanks, Kate! Jane
wow! killer shoot! love her dress in the last one. seems like such a fun client!
I love these! She seems like such a spunky, smart woman, and you’ve really captured that here. Love it!
Bess is Thirteen!
Oh, darling Bess…she is officially a teenager! She was much more kid-like at last year’s birthday session, but now…look out. She is on the verge of being a woman! Bess has her own way of doing things, and I admire her spirit so. She is just a vibrant, vivacious little thing who is so beautifully comfortable in her own skin.
Speaking of skin, I am so jealous. Check out her porcelain doll face. Doesn’t it make you want to run out to the beauty counter at Nordstrom and get some new products? Yeah, me too!







Simply lovely! What a doll.

Tom is Sixteen!
Tom has grown up a ton in a year. Since his last birthday photo shoot, he has gotten taller and gained a new appendage: his brand new truck!
We had a blast hanging out together on his family’s ranch…dodging cow poo, climbing the banks near his creek, and driving around his the Silverado. His parents will be happy to know that we wore our seat belts!
Tom is still the same full meal deal, and is only getting better with age. He is such a classy guy, and I am absolutely honored to know this super cool sixteen year old.







Oh my! Can you just see his buddies talking about how they saw Tom riding around in his truck with some stylin chick. I’m sure you both had a blast! The pictures are fantastic!

America’s Next Sweetheart
Meet Corrie. She’s the sister of George, Tom, & Bess, and the final Newman offspring photo session for 2007. She may be last in line, but she is certainly not least. Tall, poised, with model-like qualities, Corrie could be commanding in nature, but she is actually quite the opposite. She is kind, gentle, and even slips back into the quiet spaces that hide behind all of the hoopla that comes with being in a family of 6. However, Corrie comes alive when on the stage, where she can show off her talents and even be a little commanding, even if only for a role.
Thanks to Brenham High School’s kickin’ Drama Director, Andy Hart, we got to sneak on stage and steal the spotlight for Corrie’s session. So, watch out Laura Bell Bundy and Kristin Chenoweth, Corrie is hot on your heels!

After stealing the spotlight, we drove out to Corrie’s grandmother’s house for some outdoor fun.

Corrie thought I was a hoot!


Here is precious Archie with his loving owner.

Thanks for the fun sesh, Corrie! See you soon!
I really like the one looking through the tree branch being all desaturated and stuff. way cool!
These are so fun, and not typical…which I am guessing is her!
Great job and this family’s dentist deserves a shout out, too!
They all have such radiant smiles!
Love your photographs - you have a great eye, and it’s so much fun to see glimpses of Brenham. I went to high school with these great looking kids’ uncle- and with Andy Hart’s big sister. Very small world.
