This is me and my little family! I like to keep it real. As a parent, I understand that getting your family out the door on time deserves a standing ovation. I believe in family chaos, but live for those sparkly, in-between, moments. Life... imperfectly, perfect!

It is not my goal to capture the "flawless traditional portrait." I want to capture your relationships, personalities, and real smiles.

It is daunting to know that a moment is here and then gone forever. Somewhere in the layers of that thought sits my love for photography...wanting hold onto a moment. So you can always remember how tiny your newborn is, your three- year olds endless giggle-smile, or those precious days before your teenager heads out into the big world in pursuit of their dreams. All that jump-up and down, DANG I am blessed, good stuff in life!

Just show up ready to have fun and let your family... be your unique, incredible family! And l will do the rest! Promise! I can't wait to meet you! xo Kate

The Heagren Family… from three to four! {Family and Children’s Lifestyle Photographer in Denver and Golden, Colorado}

Thursday, June 13, 2013 Posted in babies, Family Photography, Portraits, Toddler

They ventured all the way from my home state of Minnesota for our second session together. Granted, they used to live here in Colorado and visit when they can, but still I loved getting the chance to capture them while they were in town. Good stuff, I tell ya!

Dawn and I have lived parallel lives growing up – with both attended a Catholic School together (and truth is, anyone who attended this school together are automatic friends for life- that is just how it is… ask any of them!), shared many of the same teachers and well… grew up living the “Minnesota Nice” way of life!I like to think, I haven’t completely lost that being in Colorado for years now… but truth is – Dawn has rubbed that off on her entire family. What a great bunch. So fun, so wonderful, so appreciative… and yes, nice!

The last time I saw them at our first session, it was just the three of them… but at that session a little bird told me that this coming year they would be welcoming a new little bundle… I was so excited! And now that little bundle is known as crazy-cute, laid-back, Oliver. Sweet as sweet can be. It is so fun for me to watch families grow…esp as mine is planned to grow +1 in September.

Thanks for all the fun, guys (and the cupcake, treat!) I love when parents are “in it” with me at the sessions. We all work hard together to capture some great memories… and Dawn and Douglas are no exception. I hope I continue to get the opportunity to watch Katherine and Oliver grow up! Love to you four, Dont’cha know!(So darn proud of my Minnesota roots and my accent that squeaks out now and then… or maybe a bit more than that! I’ll always be Minnesotan!)

More… TWINS! {Children’s and Family Lifestyle Photographer in Denver and Golden, Colorado}

Thursday, June 6, 2013 Posted in Family Photography, Portraits, Toddler, Uncategorized

Maybe I am just seeing double… as this was my second set of twins in a week! YAY!

This time… two year old boys! What is not to love? Cars, trucks, wrestling and non-stop action. So fun!

This family just moved to Colorado this year and as we were planning our session in February, they were asking me when will the weather be warm and the grass green? Well, this could not have been a more perfect year to full demonstrate… how in Colorado… ya just never know. Thankfully, we planned for our session in mid to late May… and we were greeted with a beautiful day. WHEW! And YAY!

Such an awesome family… check them out. I think you will fall in love… just like I did.

I am always so honored to capture families…Thank you Oun, Duane, Trent and Cole for everything and welcoming me into your lives with such warmth and love. Truly, an honor.

XO

Kate

TWINS! {Family and Childrens Lifestyle Photographer in Denver and Golden, CO}

Wednesday, May 29, 2013 Posted in babies, Family Photography, Portraits

Twins… I love them. I have to say I am a bit envious of them though…I always thought it would be such fun to be a twin, didn’t you? Someone, at your side, sharing life… and instant best friend! But, I also admit, I have never been jealous of the parents of multiples. I simply watch in awe as … every single one I know -every single one (you know who you are… I have probably told you how amazing you are!!)… makes it looks like a piece of cake. How do they do it? But, I am smarter than that (ha!)… It is good ‘ole fashion hard work! I have one child of my own (and one on the way- yay!) and cannot comprehend twice the work… at the same time…esp those first few years. Whew! I salute you, parents of multiples! Extraordinary work!

Add to that… I was given the opportunity to capture twins who recently turned one and hitting those walking milestones. Sigh. I love being asked to capture this time in a families life. It is so sweet to watch those new walkers, tackle the world with such curiosity. So much to see and explore. I just love it. Watch out world!

Well, you will love this family. You just will. Take a look… and when you do, know that those sweet twin linen outfits are HANDMADE by grandma! No kidding! Man, that there is some talent! Do you see that detail work on that little dress?!?… impressed. Serious props to grandma!

I so loved meeting this family… and loved that they were so laid back and went with the flow of it. There really is no other way, I guess, when you have twin toddlers… but again, they make it look easy. They are good parents… actually- great parents… so, so easy to see!

Thank you for letting me be a part of it!

Enjoy some of my favorite moments with them…

XO!
