Welcome!
I'm so very ecstatic that you decided to join the party.  It is my life's passion to keep you entertained through my photographs of weddings, babies, my family, and pretty much anything that moves me. 

Stick around and become part of the family. 
Come early, come often, leave comments.


Genevieve + Adam reside in Washington, D.C., but Gen is grew up in Austin and still holds it close to her heart.  In fact, Austin is where she and Adam will say their vows in November, and I can't wait.  I truly feel like I have made new friends with them...their wacky senses of humor and willingness to be silly and free and real and show their love for each other inspires me, and I'm honored to tell their story.

Thanks for a fun afternoon in ATX, Genevieve + Adam!  Can't wait to see you in the fall!

Kate: You are the bomb-dot-com. These are so great. You were amazing at making us abandon our awkward tendencies and encouraging us to just be in the moment. We had an amazing time with you, and look forward to hanging again in November for our big day! Hugs, Genevieve and Adam

Millie did enough chores in the month of March to earn a prize (hallelujah), so she chose a fish.  Everyone, meet "Cutie".  Cutie, here's everyone.  And of course, from Cutie, Millie has learned to do quite a fantastic fish face which comes in handy during spaghetti night at the Mefford house.

Love the new addition to the family! Cutie is so colorful and so is Millie's spaghetti face! :)

Never, before these two tiny showstoppers, have I photographed twins.  Two little babies, all soft and peachy with their new baby smells was cuteness overload.  I could have photographed them ALL. DAY. LONG.  True story.  In fact, I can't wait to go back! 

Fern Camilla and Nelle Harper are the daughters of Dallas dynamos, Debra and Jon, who you will get to see more of during the next session.  Though they are tired, they are doing one of the best jobs I have ever seen, handling these newborns...and they have TWO!  They put me to shame.  They are calm, composed, and full of love, swooning over every little twitch and murmur that their daughters make.  I am beyond thrilled to get to watch Fern and Nelle grow and to get to see Debra and Jon raise them!

I started to pull images to make a long still image blog post, but changed my mind at the last minute.  I have debated on how to do this post for weeks.  I'm going with my gut today, and it is telling me to post one image and to show you guys the slideshow.  This was my first celebration of life, or some may call it a funeral.  What a ride it was.

For the slideshow of the eventful and emotional day, please CLICK HERE
Give it a minute to load, and turn your speakers up.  Grab a tissue. 
Feel your heart crawl into your throat and remind you that you are so thankful to be alive today.

These images are very moving... what a wonderful celebration. I love that although a somber event, everyone wore happy colors!

Wow! I don't even know what to say. Kate, these images are so moving and beautiful. His family looks so strong. I am sitting at my computer bawling like a baby looking at these, but they are wonderful!

Natalie says:

Your work will forever be a treasure in our families heart. Carson was larger than life and there was no other person who could have done a better job with the blessing of his life than you. I am so blessed to call you family....Nat

Melinda Ortley says:

Your images were very moving. You honored Carson and his family. As a parent and photographer, I can only imagine how humbled you felt to capture this and I respect your personal sacrifice in doing so. It must have brought you to your knees. I wanted to share with you another photographer (Jonathan Canlas) who took on the same assignment in case you needed a fellow photog to discuss the experience with. http://canlasphotography.blogspot.com/2010/04/remember-how-yesterday-was-easter.html

Filled with love, Kate. Beautiful!

Amy Krause says:

Wow Kate. The images took my breath away, for so many different reasons. You did such an amazing job for that family and I am so impressed with how strong you had to have been to be able to capture the feelings from that day.
